Yes it is but since we don’t sail till 10pm we should have plenty of time

Hi, We’re on Disney Wonder in Kahului on March 2 8:30- 10:30pm. We’ re not overnight and looking to do a Molokini/ Turtletown snorkelling tour. Has anyone done this or know of any that aren’t just an early morning start? We will hire a car and drive down there

Good point, I’m in the UK and fortunately the house won’t be left empty. I think we are OK for 90 days but will check with insurance. My sister had a holiday home in Spain and was able to spend winter there so I’m guessing it’s doable but will contact insurance. I’m not ready to retire yet but doing the planning

Thank you, this will be very useful

Good catch on the house insurance, I’ll look into it

World cruise is a great idea and would definitely need to be thoroughly researched for the right ship. We are still trying to find ‘the one’ for example Love the entertainment on Royal Caribbean, service & food on Princess and Cunard, convenience of P &O but find that they serve fish and chips and cottage pie whichever destination you are going to and wouldn’t want to do that around the world. Norwegian is great value … So I guess that the multiple lines depending on destination is for me thanks everyone for their input , it has helped to clarify for me the way forward

That’s the sort of thing that I would like to do

Thanks, we were thinking of travelling for the winter months and using cruises that start at one port and finish at another, spend a few days and then pick up a different ship to another destination- I not a fan of long flights and cruising allows us a more relaxed travel experience . I was wondering if there is an online site/app that collates and filters which ships are in a particular port by date and by final destination port that you could feed into a planner? Other cruisers have told me that they build their own spreadsheets but I feel that there must be something already out there- maybe someone should build it- not me I might add!

Thanks, sorry for delay answering.excellent advice. We have done 21 cruises all with different lines, more chasing itinerary etc I agree that the risks are lower with one longer cruises but we were wondering about investing in one trip and then finding that we didn’t like the ship ( as even in one cruise line the vibe can be vastly different between ships)

Thinking ahead to retirement and having spoken to many passengers onboard who are ‘snowbirds’ or just spend a few months jumping from ship to ship during winters. What are the best tips or tools that can be used, or are that past articles etc that have proven useful?
