    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    We have also cancelled. I had to put in vacation notice for work and with all the unknowns around this cruise, we opted to spend two weeks at Aulani instead. There are fewer unknowns this way. It was an extremely difficult decision to make, but with an immune compromised family member, and iffy...

    Ooh, I'll have to give them a call soon to book. I didn't know you could reserve this far in advance. Thank you.

    Ama ama reopening soon?

    This is devastating. The ambiance of Makahiki just isn’t as elegant as ‘AMA’AMA. Having a quiet romantic dinner by the sea was magical. I don’t want character meals every day, either. Sigh. Time to rethink our vacation plans. Again. 😪

    Ama ama reopening soon?

    Our trip is pretty much pending the reopening of table service. With a long list of allergies, Makahiki paled in comparison to what I could eat at ‘AMA’AMA. I hope they reopen soon. We are itching to go in 2022.

    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    The cruise has rooms on hold for pre/post-cruise packages. I presume this is why rooms are blocked out. We booked a villa waaaaay back, when rooms were first available. Regular hotel rooms were available then as well, but disappeared shortly thereafter.

    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    Port authorities in Victoria and Vancouver are lobbying the Canadian government to reopen our ports sooner. But again, logistics… and the land border isn’t even open yet. Plus the vaccine passport debate. So many things need to happen before the cruise ports will open. Even our cruise ports have...

    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    Reading about cruises starting up in Florida, we're squirming at the no vaccine requirement for some cruise lines. With a severely immune compromised family member, we rely on herd immunity. I hope we will learn more about the future of cruising soon. Until then, we're just waiting for our...

    VIDEO: Fantasy in Southampton

    I found this beautiful video of the Fantasy arriving in Southampton: She looks absolutely gorgeous, all lit up at night. Thank you to whomever created it.

    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    And those benefits of using a travel agent aren’t always money. Disney doesn’t offer discounts, so any money a travel agent gives you comes out of their own pocket. I use a travel agent for their personalised service, to coordinate all the details, to deal with any problems that arise, and to...

    May 6th, 2022 -10-Night Hawaiian Cruise from Honolulu to Vancouver (Kahului, Hilo, Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili)

    We’re booked! Cat 9C GTY, hoping to upgrade to 9B. This will be a do-over from our big 15th anniversary trip that was cancelled this year: a week at Aulani then cruising home to BC.

    Hawai’i 10 Night Cruise to Vancouver

    Our travel agent was able to get us in category 9C GTY (2 adults = $5630). I hope we will be able to upgrade to 9B closer to then. Either way, we're super happy to have a reservation in an ocean view room.

    Hawai’i 10 Night Cruise to Vancouver

    Yep, being on the west coast is a doozy on booking day. I preferred the midnight opening time they used to have.

    Hawai’i 10 Night Cruise to Vancouver

    I have the email in to my travel agent. Fingers crossed we can get a room; it was a challenge last time for us ‘lowly‘ Gold cruisers.

    Aulani Landscaping

    I would buy one (to three) Menehune for our garden (and even inside) if they were for sale anywhere. It was the thing we wanted most to bring home as a souvenir. The foliage around Aulani has quite the story. If you've gone on the tour, they tell you how the plants nearest the foyer are...

    HNL airport hotel

    We've stayed at the airport hotels, simply because our flights got in at 10 PM (1 AM at home) and we wanted to get out to Aulani at sunrise... We thought it wouldn't be bad, but the noise kept us both awake, and my husband sleeps deep. I wouldn't do it again.

    DCL comedy is great and very clean. But are they the only clean comedy out there?

    Even the ‘clean’ comedy show I saw on NCL was making fun of people with disabilities. I was extremely offended and walked out, and the comedian was then making fun of me for being so easily offended. Not okay. (I happen to have the invisible disability he was making fun of; and nobody should...

    Favorite Hawaiian products to enjoy at home?

    @alohamom I know of a personal shopper, and she's GREAT!! PM me for details. I don't know her personally or anything, but she's been fantastic. I'm still waiting for Aulani to open to place my next order with her. We also buy Hawaiian Snow shave ice syrup concentrates and make shave ice at...
