Princess in Maui

[wonderpig]

We're sailing on the Ruby to hawaii in September....first stop is Maui, so........1) where is the cruise port and 2) is there any decent places for touristy shopping near the port.  I do see the maui mall but is that anywhere near the port??

The Maui Mall is about the closest thing to the port, which is Kahalui. A little map work would be beneficial. A look at Google Maps actually shows Pride of America at the dock.

The Maui Mall isn't really a mall for tourists. The tourist mall is the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center.

In the Maui Mall there is the tasty frozen treat shop run by a local family for over a century…Tasaka Guri Guri.
 

Only $1.80 for 2 ono-Lucious scopes…pineapple or stawberry. 😋

If you are going to be there on a Saturday the Maui Farmers market is in walking distance from the only working port in Maui (Kahalui). If your itinerary  shows Lahania you will not be docking there and the Pride of America gets priority in Kahalu. The market is Across the street from Queen K mall and next to the university. Lots of great stuff much made by locals.

With all due respect, Swap Meet (not Maui Farmer's Market) is what is held next to UHMC on Saturday mornings.  Google Maui Swap Meet for more information.  A fun way to spend a morning.
