luv2bnsun Posted March 14, 2008 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Now that the lava is flowing into the ocean in Hawaii have the ships there resumed a nighttime sailby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithkids Posted March 14, 2008 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If they do change the itinerary it will be fun watching the complainers whine because it will affect port times. When we were on the Pride of Aloha in February there were two guys yelling at the reception person because there wasn't a night time sailing by the lava. Of course the two didn't even know the lava wasn't flowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coblerus Posted March 14, 2008 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2008 We were on the Pride of Aloha Feb 23 - Mar 5. We saild by the lava flow after leaving Hilo. It was an awsome site. We were told it was the first time the lava had been flowing in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2bnsun Posted March 14, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Thanks for the reply Coblerus. Two more questions for you: (1) did they have to change the itinerary to have the lava viewing; and (2) was it dark at the time of the sailby? I really hope we get to see the lava on our 4/16 cruise. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharmapath Posted March 17, 2008 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Just got off POAl and we did not do the sail by. Not sure if it was due to weather or what. March 5 -15 sailing. Lots of people were expecting a sail by now that it is flowing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted March 17, 2008 #10 Share Posted March 17, 2008 No lava sail for the America tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2bnsun Posted March 17, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I wonder why? How disappointing is that? That is one of the highlights of Hawaii. NCL - please do the lava sail-by!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they are waiting until the new itinerary...in any case, I will plan a land based trip to the BI instead of another cruise if they don't do the sailby (so we can take an evening hike out to the lava viewpoint).
