Yes, we always check with the cruise people about bringing fruit on board from ports in Hawaii and in French Polynesia and the answer has always been Yes. But things can change, one never knows. Same thing with flowers, we check to make sure it's ok. Can get beautiful flower arrangements for very little money at Farmer's Markets. We enjoy the fruit and flowers while onboard the ship. No way would I try to take them home, Would need to grow more arms and hands.
Again, does anyone know if Farmer's Market, that is within walking distance to Kona port/pier, is still up and running?
