But to enjoy it, there things you must bear in mind before packing your bag. Here are some reminders to keep in mind in taking a Hawaiian cruise.

Booking your cruise 

Enjoy hassle-free booking online

 Check out for online cruise tours and make comparison. Check for rates and the possibility of getting discounts. Some Hawaiian cruise tours have higher rates because they charge fuel supplements and gasoline price is high in Hawaii. Check for itinerary and port calls. This is important because you have to choose your hotel nearest to the port of calls of your cruise. When booking, it is a must to specify if your cruise is a two segments tour or not. A tour segments sometimes have duplicates of itinerary such as buffet hosting and sport activities. It a wise choice to have separate segment tour to enjoy more activities while on cruise. Another thing to check is the inclusions of buffet or La’ua feast. Some tours charge extra for inclusion of international cuisine like French or Italian food. Don’t hesitate to ask and clear things out before finalizing your booking.

Choosing your cruise

Once you have made comparisons, it is time to choose your cruise. First to bear in mind is the duration of the cruise. A 7 days cruise is enough to have a good island hopping experience. Choose a cruise that includes activities of your interest. If you are a sporty person, a cruise with golf or water sport activity is a good choice. If you want to be entertained, inclusions of entertainment must be your priority. Most of Hawaiian cruises give you more savings because of the many varying activities and you are paying for a package price.  Inclusions of insurance in case of emergency should be one of your privileges. 

Choosing your hotel

Your hotel location is important in choosing for hotel accommodation. Be sure it is near or within the vicinity of call of port. Transferring from your hotel to the ports of call should not pose any problem. Details like this can hamper your vacation mood. A good hotel accommodation should provide transfer facilities to any of your place of activities.  A good Hotel understands this situation and that’s why hotel transfer is included in their services. Most of Hawaii Hotels are near or within call of ports and provide transport transfer so guests can easily board their cruise ship on time and without hassles and interruptions.  

What to pack

It is a rule to pack light. Do not over stuff your traveling bags. Leave unnecessary things in your hotel’s room. Days aboard are casual so wear your most comfortable clothes. A sport wear is best for daily wear while on board. Don’t forget to bring more than couple of swim wears because you could be swimming for more than a couple of times. Towels are provided so you don’t have to bring any. It is best to bring evening wear such as cocktail dresses for women and ties or tuxedos for men. Tuxedos can be rented on board. Comfy casual shoes are best for casual days on board but walking shoes are best when ashore.  Hats and sunscreens are a must for sun protection. Don’t forget to bring your binoculars and camera to capture every moment on board.

Vacation packages that include a Hawaiian cruise will give you ample opportunities to explore the island of Hawaii. An island hopping experience will not only give you an overview of Hawaii but also of  Nature’s tripping  as you passed through rainforest, waterfalls, volcanoes and get closer experience to nature’s gem such as green turtles, seal monks, lava rocks. You can enjoy all of these if only you know how to put importance to some of the smallest details of taking a cruise.
