chris153 Posted September 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I would like to do a pearl harbor tour that includes the US missouri on embarkation day. The one NCL has does not guarantee that the tour will drop off at Hawaiin Hilton Village. Can anyone recommend a tour that picks up at the ship, goes to pearl harbor and US missouri and will drop off (and carry luggage for duration of tour) at HHV.

CruiserBruce Posted September 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Do you disembarkation day? Do you mean disembarkation day? Getting off the ship at the end of your cruise? Where does the tour say it will drop you off? There are dozens, perhaps over a hundred hotels in Waikiki. No tour can cover all of them for drop off. Perhaps "close" is good enough?

chris153 Posted September 20, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted September 20, 2014 OOps Yes I meant disembarkation or debarkation whatever it is. But what I really mean is the day we get off the ship and are sad the cruise is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted September 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 20, 2014 You might save some money (and hassles) by simply taking a taxi from the port to your hotel, dropping your luggage (if your room is not ready the hotel will store your luggage in a secure room) and then heading over to Pearl Harbor. There are plenty of tour options (if you really want a tour) including tours that depart around noon. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted September 20, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 20, 2014 While Hank has a good solution, where does NCL say they will drop you off after the tour? There are other solutions possible if we have that info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other solutions possible if we have that info. NCL just says it cannot guarantee it drops off at YOUR waikiki hotel ask when on board. There are other independent tours available, but not all go to pearl harbor and missouri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it to be a far better than good chance they will drop you there. Personally, I would take the risk, unless you have mobility issues. And, if you have mobility issues, that will likely further motivate the driver to stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may take the risk, if they do not drop there, they do drop at the airport and we will just take a taxi. I know I canlook this up, but does anyone know how far the airport is from HHV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I canlook this up, but does anyone know how far the airport is from HHV Depending on traffic, it can be 30 minutes pretty easy. Yes, there are many threads on getting from the airport to Waikiki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I canlook this up, but does anyone know how far the airport is from HHV The airport to HHV is pretty far by taxi. If the driver doesn't go there, I'd just request drop off at the hotel closest and take the taxi from there.

Deb No, the correct word is disembarkation. You embark, then you disembark. debarkation always sounds to me like you're taking the bark off a tree - or maybe you're trying to silence a barking dog!
