Lahaina, Maui

My favorite port until now. We loved it as always. We did not take an excursion. We walked the main road and visited most of the shops. We ate at a favorite restaurant of ours right on the beach. The banyan tree is such a nice area to relax.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia

The sail in and out is spectacular. The scenery is beautiful. Again we were on foot and visited the local vendors. We admired the jewelry stores and found some things we really liked. No excursion. The weather is exactly what we like on vacation.

Papeete, Tahiti

No excursion. It is nice to walk around and visit the shops, especially the two story marketplace. We enjoyed street entertainment almost everywhere we went.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

No excursion. This is a great port for excursions but not so much if you just want to walk around, We took a shuttle to K-Mart and walked around there. What we enjoyed the most was the weather, warm and moist.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

No excursion. We haven't been here since the day before the earthquake about 9 years ago, We walked around, dipped our toes in the water and thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing day. This is the best port for us in the Hawaiian Islands,

Pago Pago, American Samoa

No excursion. It was sunday so almost all of the shops were closed. We did visit the vendors along the streets bear the ship. This is a great place to buy small trinkets for gifts. It was very warm and humid but not unlike it always is.

Hilo, Hawaii

No excursion. It was as great as it has always been

Honolulu, Oahu

We have been here many times and did not take an excursion. The Aloha Tower is mostly a college campus and mostly everything was closed. Honolulu seems to be suffering almost a blight. We took a ride to Maui Divers and were forced by them to sit in the heat for almost an hour for the shuttle to take us back to the ship. This was a tourist trap and we were treated very poorly. This is not Princess Cruises fault. The highlight of the day was walking to shops a couple of blocks from the ship. I needed some clothes and supplies and Was-Mart, not the one offered by the shuttle, and Ross had what I needed.

San Pedro (Los Angeles), California

It was only our port of embarkation and disembarkation

Moorea, French Polynesia

My favorite port of the whole trip. This was our first time there. No excursion. I think our ship's passengers more than doubled the population of Moorea. We visited the vendors and they were extremely friendly. We spent the better part of our day sitting under a palm tree enjoying the music and dancing performed by what looked like one big happy family.
