What time should I arrive at the pier?

[Miss Amber]

What time should I book the VIP shuttle to pick me up at my Waikiki hotel? I wanted to do a bit of sightseeing (Diamond Head) and shopping in Waikiki before boarding the ship (Pride of America). Does anyone have a reccomendation? Thanks so much in advance!

You should have plenty of time to do your sightseeing and shopping in the morning and early afternoon.

 

For instance, a 3:00pm Hotel pickup should get you onboard by around 4:00pm (check-in rush hour should be over by then). Once onboard, You can go straight to your room as they are usually ready by around 3:30pm. You will be able to attend the mandatory safety drill at 4:30pm (otherwise, you will have to attend a make-up drill the next day).

 

Pick a time that works best for you, and enjoy your cruise around the beautiful islands of Hawaii.
