That was amazing that they rebuilt the champagne fountain in under 1/2 an hour.  Did you get any free champagne...☺️

We completed this itinerary on the Crown Princess. We particularly enjoyed the time at sea. The daytime and night time programmes were excellent.

It was a Christmas/New Years cruise. The only mishap was the champagne fountain that tumbled as the ship hit a small wave. Amazingly, the head steward rebuilt it in under 1/2 hour.

This was an excellent way to sample Hawaii.

Enjoy!

Thanks!

Linda...that's a great idea to rent a car and drive around Maui.  We actually had gotten off of the ship and just called to a driver (there were many standing by to take you on a tour) and we got a great one.  He took us everywhere we wanted to go, and many places he thought we should see, and he also had a great knowledge of the history of Hawaii.  We just set the price before we left on the tour, and it was great.  He even stopped so we could have lunch, and for potty breaks for me...haha.

Maybe we will do what you did, just find a driver and take a tour!

Nice to hear from another Minnesota gal, my hubby and I are born and raised Minnesotan's!  Near Duluth.

Hey!...nice to be talking to a former Minnesotan.  We are in the N. suburbs of Minneapolis.  It is around 2 1/2 to 3 hours to Duluth...we love it up that way.  Where, about, are you in Texas?

We are in Mission, next door to McAllen, Texas. And about a mile from the Mexican border!

Love the great state of Texas, also.

Congrats on this cruise Linda!  We have done this twice from San Francisco and loved every minute.  I agree with Shari ..... Maui is the best.  Renting a car would be a fabulous idea then you can be on your own time .... or if you prefer not to drive though, taking a local tour is also a great idea.  We won't be able to cruise in October unfortunately as we will be on safari in Africa for 6 weeks.  Enjoy every moment .... I know you are going to love Hawaii.

Linda...if your home yet we would love to hear all about your Hawaii cruise.  I would so love to go back again some day.  My favorite cruises!

Sorry Linda - for some reason I was thinking you were cruising in 2019 .... forgive me for being so ditzy!!!

[Shari2]

Jackie...you made me think that maybe it was in 2019...was thinking it was this year...went back to check and don't see a year?  I will go check again.
