If you are on Explorer you will clear US Immigration and Customs in Honolulu and won't have to deal with it again in your last tow stops of Maui and Seattle.

Thanks. Was it that obvious?

You will clear US Immigration and Customs the first place you touch US soil.

And not again in Seattle?

When arriving from Australia in Honolulu you’d have to clear customs/immigration at the airport.

Thanks - I should have been more specific. The cruise leaves Sydney, Australia and travels Trans-Pacific to Seattle with a few stops along the way. So we sale into Hawaii and back out again to Seattle.

Hi

I'm on an Australian passport and have two days in Oahu in May. Given that Hawaii is a US State, I'm assuming that I'll have to clear customs/immigration on arrival. Do I have to do that each time I get on and off the ship while there?

Also - having cleared customs in Hawaii, do I then have to clear customs again in Seattle - the cruise's final destination?

Thanks

Hi

We’re going to be in Honolulu for 2 days, 1 night, on Explorer as part of a Transpacific cruise in April/May this year.

I’m wondering if there’s some weird rule that says we have to return to the ship to stay overnight? I know it sounds weird but I’m just making sure I’m not going to be offloaded if we choose to stay somewhere on the island overnight?

Thanks

We were at Mystery Island on VOTS earlier this year. It was a beautiful calm day and no problems with tendering.

Quick question about tendering. We were on Explorer OTS in 2015 and it was a 2 hour wait to get back to the ship at the end of the day. The link became very hostile as there was no real organisation from RC and people started to try and cut in. How was your experience getting back to VOTS?

Thanks
