JudeeJim Posted October 31, 2008 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2008 We are going to cruise on the Zaandam in March on a Circle tour to Hawaiil. This is our first cruise on HAL line and I have some questions. How many formal nights on a 15 day cruise? Is the cooking class offered on all of their cruises? Is there a charge for these classes? What should we expect the weather to be like? Hope someone can help me. Judee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoconutFish Posted October 31, 2008 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2008 We have recently had 4 Formal nights, all at sea, 2 each way. Cooking classes were plentiful, with 4 free demonstrations and 4 hands-on for a fee. Additionally, there will be free demonstrations on flower arranging, towel animals, napkin folding, vegetable carving. Weather is normally cool for the first 2 days off the California coast both ways, then warm, warmer and hot. This is a great, relaxing cruise and the Zaandam is a lovely ship. Enjoy!

Krazy Kruizers Posted October 31, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2008 We also had 4 formal nights on our Hawaiian cruise. There weren't any floral classes on our cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassyredhat Posted November 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Ditto what Coconutfish said. This is a wonderful itinerary. HAL is great, as always. Food, service, ---it was all good. :) Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We want to do a Laua on our own and depending where the ship docks will help us decide which Luau to reserve. Our plans are to rent a car for the day, drive around and do some sightseeing, attend the Laua and get back to the ship by 10:00 PM. Is this something that can be done easily?

sassyredhat Posted November 3, 2008 #6 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Judee, Lahaina is the port we docked at in Maui. We did the tour called Ulelena, which started at 6 pm, and we were back in plenty of time. In my oninion, I think that you should be able to do what you planned. I would go online and book the luau way before the cruise. They are always sold out early. Just be sure that it ends at least 1-1 1/2 hrs. prior to sailing. Have fun. We love Hawaii. :) Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
