Char ... can't wait for the Hawaii Fall 2009 cruises to be posted. Hoping for Radiance or Serenade. I'm so glad you had such a good time. Have all your Hawaii cruises been the roundtrip or have you flown into or back from Hawaii? We just don't like flying, love cruising so felt the 15 day was the best choice for us and our family. Also with my brother in law being disabled, flying long distances is going to be too difficult for them.

So come join us next fall .... I've got Reggie working on it for Hal and I and our family, I'm sure he would be more than happy to add a few more people in and make it a group cruise with group discounts!!!!!

I'm a white knuckle flyer so the round trip to Hawaii was a great choice for us. The unfortunate thing is that Princess is dropping one of its ports (Kona) to make it a 14-day cruise. But if hubby says let's book it again, I would go in a heartbeat.

We don't like flying either, so I totally understand. What a shame that one of the ports is being dropped. Not sure what RCCL will do for its Hawaii schedule. They are suppose to release them on May 20th. I hope your hubby says to book again. That would be fantastic.

Hey Mary

I hope they will have a wonderful itinerary for you!

I doubt that we would be able to do Hawaii next fall since our Official CLF Group cruise will be in October. We have lots of time for travel, but the budget doesn't stretch as far as it used to! Now if we win the lottery..........

EVERYONE! This is a great thread for those of us considering a cruise to Hawaii!

My pick is Princess because we've always enjoyed our At Sea days (which are many on a Hawaii cruise) on Princess more that on HAL or RCCL.

I chose Princess as this is the only one of the 3 choices that I have been on before and didn't have anything to compare. I went on NCL for my Hawaii cruise.

I couldn't vote because we are taking Carnival from Hawaii to Vancouver next April.We like Carnival and from the reviews I have read ,expect to love the Spirit. So,my vote is Carnival.

Edit: oops,sorry. Forgot that I posted in November on this one.Oh well.

I voted Holland America only because of the 3 cruiselines it is the only one I've been on. But, I have wanted to try the other 2 lines so it would come down to the price and date.

I have done the long flight to Hawaii and then boarded the ship... not doing that again... It was on Visions of the Seas..
We booked the Radiance sailing out of San Diego RT.. this time around.. I too love them sea days on board..
I would much rather be cruising then flying.. LOL..
I am so looking forward to this cruise coming up in Sept.. 26 th.. 2008.... we are doing the overnighter pre cruise party time with friends in San Diego so the party will start before boarding..
I hope which ever cruise line you choose you have a wonderful sailing... I am a real Rccl gal...
I did not vote as Rccl was not up there...
