Review summary
This is a great primer for a Hawaiian vacation. The hotel moves from island to island. We rented a car on every island and visited the local sites, beaches etc. Gives you a great sample for a longer return. We had a stop at Fanning Island on the itinerary, but the ship had to divert and perform a rescue at sea for a small sailboat. Didn't even miss the Fanning stop.Embarkation
