Hawaii - cultural immersion?

Booking our first Hawaiian cruise.  Some members have posted about Hawaiian Cultural Ambassadors.  What is that and where do I learn more???

They are the best.  They make the cruise to Hawaii very enjoyable.  Your roll call will probably know the ambassadors before the cruise, they sometimes post themselves to let you know on the roll call.  The last cruise, they posted about a month before, introducing themselves.

 

They teach hula, ukulele lessons, have Hawaiian crafts lessons, and history/cultural sessions about the Islands and on and on.  We’ve been on 5 cruises that included the Hawaiian Islands and Princess does it very well.

 

There’s nothing for you to do.  Just enjoy.

 

Welcome to Princess and CC.

Every Hawaii cruise will have specific cultural activities related to the Aloha theme like hula lessons, ukulele lessons, lei making, etc. 

 

The gold standard on these cruises is Elua - a husband and wife team who provide music and cultural experience. Most recently they were on the Crown sailings out of San Francisco to Hawaii. Not sure if they have announced what ship they will be on for the upcoming cruises. You can do some internet sleuthing or maybe someone here will have an update. 
 

They are amazing. But that being said, all the Hawaii cruises will offer music and cultural experiences.
