Budget Queen Posted June 27, 2020 #9 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I find the list kind of basic. A lot of this cruise is off the ship- so alternately- consider doing your homework is essential. But helpful reminders- with this list. I always recommend extending time. 🤩. A lot of people aren’t frequent visitors. Take advantage of being there. And don’t just park yourself in Waikiki. 🤩. I go for at least 3 weeks with a cruise. Cheap and easy 1 hour flights between islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare philv Posted January 19, 2021 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Has anyone stayed in ocean view cabin on deck 4 on POA? I’d be interested to hear your experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of booking in 2024. Was wondering which side, but your tips told me. Very helpful. Didn't know there is a difference in sunscreen. Great info. Really. I'm ok paying the tax drinks while in port, I always figure out what the cost per day I need to drink, to make it worth the cost of the beverage package. usually able to make it worth it...without destroying my liver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugcarol Posted June 23, 2021 #17 Share Posted June 23, 2021 In case you dont know, POA's first cruise will be 11/27. Any cruises before are suspended. So disappointed, looks like i may be doing land trip instead of POA, damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sduncanjd Posted October 3, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Thanks for all the tips. Is there a better side to book to see sunsets from the balcony. I know the last day port is better. Just wondering if it matters at any other time. Thanks so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
