So sorry for my delayed replies to you, @Mic101680 and @Chan50

 

First, your question, Mic:

We had prearranged transportation in Maui, the only port where we did not do a ship-sponsored excursion. From what we saw, though, there were plenty of cabs within a relatively easy walk of the pier in every port. (Kona is a tender port, so you do have to take the tender before you're on the pier.). Maui was the one port that was a bit of a hike (not bad, though). When we sailed in June, security at that port was tight, so you had to walk to the street to catch a cab, Uber, or even for our prescheduled ride. I'm guessing that it's no different, or maybe even tighter given the disaster recovery efforts. 

 

Chan, wish I could answer that- we're not spirits drinkers. My guess is yes, you can have spirits in the cabin; if I recall correctly there was alcohol on the room service menu - but again, I'm not 100% certain of that.

Hi 

 

With the differences in alcohol laws in Hawaii. Are spirits not permitted at all in suite? Just curious what I can expect in terms of liquor options for purchase in a suite.

 

 

 

Thank you

The ship is licensed as a bar, not a liquor store, so there are no bottles of liquor sold onboard.

Just booking this cruise for Feb. I noticed on the NCL website that the East Meets West and Sushi restaurant say Not available. Are these temporarily closed?  Anyone know what is going on with them?  Thanks!

Mooline-your reviews and posts have been so helpful.  My husband and I are cruising on the POA in March.  Thanks for taking the time to post this information.

@rochteacher Thank you so much! That's very kind of you to say. It's a "pay it forward" type of thing, so many posters here on CC have been helpful to me when planning a trip, and it's cool to do the same for others.

 

Wishing you a FANTASTIC trip - enjoy every minute! All of our family wants to go back, if that is a helpful testimony.  🙂
