Thanks everyone. This is what I thought but I had hoped I was mistaken. DH has a small plane phobia. Trying to figure out a way to deal with that and still see several islands.

I’m sorry if this question has been asked before. I tried the search bar and got no results. I am wondering if there is a small cruise option around Hawaii. Would prefer to fly direct and then cruise the islands. Norwegian is the only line I am aware of and that’s a larger ship than we were looking for. Thanks so much.

Good advice. Thank you.

Did they fly you from your city or did you need to get to a hub on your own?

Thank you

Thank you. I searched the topic but didn’t notice the pinned post. 👍🏻

We typically make our own airfare arrangements but since business class is included with the itinerary we are considering , we are interested in knowing how well does Regent do with this endeavor. Thanks in advance.

We were in NYC last week. What people wear to the theater is crazy. I swear this one man had on a swimsuit. And there were plenty of baseball caps.

All of the above. 👍🏻

This is why we always carry our own wipes.

Wow. That would have been nice. Those are some of our favorites. When we travel we try local bourbons and like to bring a bottle home. 🥃

Wild Turkey and Jack Daniels. Then about halfway into the cruise they got some Four Roses. It seems bourbon isn’t a big thing in Europe. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ve been on many different cruise lines. 1st time I’ve see it.

I found it interesting that Viking had signs in the public bathrooms advising passengers to use a paper towel when exiting the restroom. 👍🏻

We did it on our own with fellow passengers that we met here on CC. 😉😃 Moonlion. As a little example ….. we came upon a site with several busses and a line to take a photo. Our driver was able to drive on by and return when the crowds had moved on.

That sounds good but on our cruise the Bourbon selection was extremely thin. 🤷🏼‍♀️

We were on the Neptune for the BIE cruise in May. We found the food to be inconsistent. There was quite a bit of turnover following the world cruise and we suspect there was a lot of training of new staff. 🤷🏼‍♀️

That’s why I wish I could combine a few lines. Windstar is small and intimate, I love the food and the small ports but it can be too quiet. Celebrity has the action and there are plenty of places to find solace including the huge aft balcony that I adore. Viking is very elegant and spacious. I found the talks to be at times when we were otherwise occupied especially with our port intensive itinerary. We will continue to find and enjoy the best of them all.

Awesome 👍🏻

Nice. We paid $170 for our two hour planned tour. I’m curious….what was the impromptu cost?

Yes. I took a photo of the bottle and asked for it at my next meals. It was not an issue. If you purchased a bottle and did not finish it, they would have it available wherever you chose to dine for your next meal. And there is no corkage fee if you bring your own.

I can’t swear they were all $8 but we found them to be very reasonable. Wines with lunch and dinner were hit or miss but once we found one that we liked the staff could easily get it and have it available for future meals. That meant that we didn’t need to spend money to upgrade at mealtimes and only had to spend in between. Our final bar bill was less than $300 and we always had wine or a cocktail before and after dinner on a 15 day cruise.

There are many to choose from on TripAdvisor and aviator.

I did

Just returned from the Viking Neptune. We found that the included wines were hit or miss. However, once we found one we liked our waiter was happy to continue to have it available.
