In Hilo we rented a car at the airport. From there we went to many different places. Here is my itinerary for the day. We were done with two hours to spare. However, our group of four walks fast. Ship docks at 0800 leaves at -6pm These are just estimated times of how long we will be there. These times are based on research that I did. Get off the ship ASAP and get a cab to the airport. Get the rental car and hopefully be out of there around 0830. Drive to Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park which is about a 40 min drive. Spend about 90 mins there Drive to Nahuku Thurston Lava Tubes--5 min drive Spend about 30 mins there (We spent about 15 mins there) Drive to Rainbow Falls--42 min drive Spend about 15 mins there (We spend about 10 mins there) Drive Richardson Black Sand beach. 17 min drive Spend about 45 mins there (we spent about 25 mins here) Akaka Falls state park---34 min drive Spend about an hour on the hike (We spent about 30 mins here) Umaum Falls--15 min drive spend about 90 mins there (We spent about an hour) Drive back to airport 30 min drive Be at airport for about 15 mins Airport to ship 8 min taxi ride ===Very easy to drive there Kauai We rented a car. If you rent from Enterprise not at the airport but close by you will save a lot of money. We went to the luau that is located close to the ship. We also did the train ride there. We parked our car close to the ship and was ready to go by 0630 the next morning. We went to the water falls first, where we were the only ones. We then checked out about six different beaches besides going to the lighthouse. This trip was to check out areas, so that way if we want to come back one day, we know where we want to go. Maui, We did sail Maui. This was really good for the price.

Make sure to find out what bars have the premium liquor. Not ALL bars do.

This was not a for sure thing that they shared a cabin. I was on this cruise and the "telephone stories" did change from day to day. Because at one point they said it was the husband sailing with her. Then another story that she was sailing by her self. She had her own cabin and the video show her going to the cabin alone with a bottle of wine. These are all just part of the different stories circulating. As the story goes, only her and maybe one other person knows exactly what happens.

You pretty much get everything. We started to get the premium plus at our last cruise and the one we just off a cruise on October 31. Make sure to get the Aqua Panna water when you eat and at the bars. get your fresh pressed juice. Also make sure that at dinner time, if you like wine, you can order a bottle in the plus column and your husband can order a bottle in the plus column. Also you can have one glass of wine from that bottle and take the rest to the cabin.
