I am glad you enjoyed your cruise aboard the Crown Princess. I have been on the Crown 3 times myself & always had a blast! Happy Sailing!

Respectfully, average age of passengers had no bearing on the decision to bypass Maui and Kauai. Winds were expected to gust at 45 knots in Kauai, and 3 meter swells prevented launching tenders near Lahaina. Better safe than sorry.
