dr dreamer Posted January 1, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2013 We will be booking a Hawaii Cruise in November of 2013. I have had several people mention that with Hawaii cruises there is a more desireble side for better views of the island. If this true? and which side is considered the side that has the better views of the islands? First time cruising Hawaii any feedback will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Napoli coast sailby is awesome and more lengthy on the port side. The lava flow is great for the starboard side but is hit or miss if it is flowing. If it is flowing just head up to the upper deck to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubechick Posted January 1, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you afford them, I highly recommend the aft balconies. If not, then definitely port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted January 1, 2013 #4 Share Posted January 1, 2013 It is my understanding that whenever sailing through the islands, the captain will make a circle and sail the opposite for a bit so that both sides can see everything like the lava flows, Napili coastline etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molokai-Chuck Posted January 1, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 1, 2013 If you are on the POAm, and the route it sails, the port side with lanai is best...then aft lanai is second. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we actually went up to the Waikiki bar for fantastic viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonbgd Posted January 2, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 2, 2013 We had port side balcony and the Na'Pali coast sailby was awesome. We were definatly alot closer and longer viewing than the starboard side It had rained alot that morning so the waterfalls were numerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
