Jetlag being the worst in the mid/late afternoon for us as we fly in from the East Coast ... When we go to Alaska or Hawaii, we know the jet lag is worse for those from the East coast. We are in the Mountain time zone so it isn’t as bad for us. We are adjusting and stayed awake an hour later last night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He and his wife (my sister from another mister) have a timeshare in HI. but they often have long layovers on the flight home. He would love this. I don’t think they offer any day use for veterans. They require people to be hotel guests to use the pools. They give a daily wrist band after confirming the guests are hotel guests. Maybe he could get a hotel room for one day?

Rare mking8288 Posted 6 hours ago #56 Share Posted 6 hours ago Well, gooooood morning and it is not even 6 AM local time there, rise-n-shine ultra-early and read like you won't be watching the sunrise from that partial oceanview. How are those ABC stores that's on every other street corner in Waikiki ? It's always fun to stop in there to look around but a Target store as the "anchor" for the International Marketplace ... hmmm. How about this at your nearby McD, in case you decided to check them out for breakfast - the local "specials" that you don't get in the lower 48 states/U.S. mainland ? and there is something else on their island menu, not available here on the East or West Coast for that matter. OK, just kidding and wait, today is the big day ... Embarkation for the POA ! Bon Voyage and keep those beautiful pictures coming ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Seas2mountains Posted 6 hours ago Author #57 Share Posted 6 hours ago Today is cruise day!! 😃 We were able to stay awake (barely) for the fireworks at 8pm. The internet said they were at 7:45pm which was incorrect. We got a table at the Pool bar patio area at the resort which is near the big family pool but isn’t poolside like the name sounds. The sky was beautiful for about an hour after the sun set and the weather was perfect with a light breeze. People definitely got there early to get seats. We got there about 7pm and all tables were taken. We asked a man sitting alone if we could join him and share his table. He kindly agreed and said he wasn’t planning to stay for the fireworks. There was bar service at the tables so my husband enjoyed some Mai Tais while I enjoyed drinking wine. IMG_4196.mov 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted 6 hours ago #58 Share Posted 6 hours ago Envious! Those photos and sunsets are heaven. Enjoy the cruise! I feel it’s the best way to experience Hawaii, I am just hearing mixed reviews in the pride of America. Have a wonderful time! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelleyfarms Posted 4 hours ago #60 Share Posted 4 hours ago I would like to hear if the free at sea beverage package includes alcohol and beer on the Pride of America? We have it booked for next year and I'm not sure about this package. It says for all ages and makes me wonder about alcohol for ages 21 and up?

Rare Seas2mountains Posted 1 hour ago Author #62 Share Posted 1 hour ago We arrived at the cruise terminal at about 10:30am. Porters were there to grab our bags as we got out of the Uber. The general security line took about 15 minutes and the wait to check in agreed and a few minutes They handed out shell leis after security. We think they gave us flower leis when we got on the Spirit last year. We wore them for about 15 minutes so we are not disappointed. We are waiting to embark. We were given a piece of paper that said we were in boarding group A. We asked about priority for Diamond and were given a priority access piece of paper. We are being entertained by a singer playing upbeat Hawaiian music on a guitar. I have photos to share later from our walk this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
