lexie33 Posted July 20, 2009 #1 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Has anyone done the luau that poa offers as one of its excursions. We are going to be in oahu for 3 days before the cruise, but would be willing to wait for luau if it is worth it.:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downsized Posted July 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I have heard that's its good however they will sell 1500 to 2000 tickets for the night so If you like cattle herding enjoy! Gawd....they are not going to clip a plastic tag onto my ear, are they? We've signed up for that Luau! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Maui Posted July 22, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 22, 2009 On Maui, in addition to the Old Lahaina Luau, the Hyatt Regency Ka'anapali does a very good Luau. It does have fire dancing. It also holds a max of 500. There's also a luau at the Marriot in Wailea, about which I've heard very good reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_fitz Posted July 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The two best luaus on Oahu are at the Polynesian Culture Center or Paradise Cove. I haven't been to the Paradise Cove one but some say it's the best show. PCC is an all day event - they have little cultural shows throughout the day (first show is around noon) and fun activities at each "island" and then at night is the dinner and the show. I have gone 3 times myself in this past year alone and I have fun every time. From what I understand Paradise Cove starts later and only has like 3 or so activities/games to offer (if this is wrong, someone correct me!)

Heads&Tails Posted July 22, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Gawd....they are not going to clip a plastic tag onto my ear, are they? We've signed up for that Luau! Gawd....they are not going to clip a plastic tag onto my ear, are they? No they will clip 2 one for each ear. The second one is so that you can return to the ship.

Heads&Tails Posted July 22, 2009 #9 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Just to clarify the PCC has 2 different shows thatyou can pay to attend, one is their Horizon show and the othe is their Luau. We were there in 2008 and did the super ambassador pkg. it was well worth the money, the food was excellent and the Horizon show was reallly good.

SeasideMermaid Posted August 5, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just read the reviews on trip advisor and people hated both the Polynesian Cultural Center and Paradise Cove Luau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun-Sand-Palm-Trees Posted August 5, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Curious on the luaus in Maui... Can someone tell me the ones, by distance, that are closest to the port? MANY thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Maui Posted August 6, 2009 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Curious on the luaus in Maui...Can someone tell me the ones, by distance, that are closest to the port? MANY thanks! Aloha, If you are docking in Kahului, the Wailea Marriott would be the closest and easiest drive. If you are docking in Lahaina, The Old Lahaina Luau is in town, and the Hyatt is just north of town (10 minutes) in Ka'anapali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun-Sand-Palm-Trees Posted August 7, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2009 West Maui ~ THANK YOU! How far is the polynesian cultural center luaus from Kahulu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Maui Posted August 7, 2009 #15 Share Posted August 7, 2009 West Maui ~ THANK YOU! How far is the polynesian cultural center luaus from Kahulu? Good morning! That won't work.......PCC is on Oahu! Also, remember that PCC serves no alchohol, a deal breaker for some guests.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelie Posted August 10, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 10, 2009 You know what i am not even sure i want to go to a luau now. I have been reading posts on here trying to gather info on the best one to go to. I am also reading reveiws on trip advisior. There are a few good ones but alot of bad ones for alot of the different places. I am travelling with my friend and her son. She was planning this trip to hawaii and when she heard i was interested she invited me to come along. One of the first things she said was that she wanted to do a Luau, she had seen them on tv and looked great. she has only just got internet access so so far i have been doing all the research. Its not like a DID NOT want to go to a Luau before i was sorta like yeah ok i guess if you want to go ill go, but now i am thinking otherwise. People have complained about it not being authentic and the food being bad , drinks take forever to get and are either bad or you have to pay extra for. Better spending money else where was mentioned alot.(From trip advisior about PCC Germaines and Paradise cove) There were a few good ones but they were few and far between. There is also the one on Kauai that i thought about doing through POA but reviews have been ho hum. My friend has said that even though they asked meto come along on there trip its stillmy holiday to and if there is something i want to do or NOT want to do i can. I am honestly considering showing ehr sites where she can read reviews if she still decides she wants to go then i might not go. Not sure what ill do for the night as i am not the sort to go out on my own. I think i'd rather spend the money ordering room service and emailing people from home. :confused::confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Maui Posted August 11, 2009 #19 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Can someone tell me how far is the Wailea Marriott from the cruise ship pier? Thanks again! Aloha, If you are docking in Kahului, the Wailea Marriott is a little more than 30 minutes from the harbor, maybe 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun-Sand-Palm-Trees Posted August 13, 2009 #20 Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm really stuggling finding a luau! We'll be overnight in Kahului on Sunday (8/30) and Nawiliwili on Thursday (9/3). Anyone know what luau's are operating on these days and how far they might be to the pier? Sorry for the 20-questions but it doesn't look like the Marriott is running on Sunday. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Maui Posted August 13, 2009 #21 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Good morning! You might check the Hyatt Drums of the Pacific and the Old Lahaina Luau. They are both on the West side (Ka'anapali and Lahaina), which would require a 45 minute or so drive. The Old Lahaina is more traditional-no fire dance--the Hyatt is more Polynesian, with fire dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenbo57 Posted August 13, 2009 #22 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Has anyone been to Germaines Luau on Oahu? If so....what did you think?Thanks! We went to Germaines and had a great time. You have to drive through an industrial area to get there; once we had arrived and were seated I had to have my husband switch seats with me so that I wasn't looking at the smoke stacks in the background! ;) That being said, they were very gracious hosts, put on a great show, and the food was very good.
