Our Hawaiian Cruise

We were here for 2 days. The first day we rented a Mustang convertible and drove the road to Hana. First of all, it was fortunate for us that we rented the car ahead of our trip since there were none available for the passengers who waited. Secondly, I wish someone would have told us that there is NOTHING in Hana. It took us 2 hours to drive the 50 miles because it is very hazardous, but beautiful driving in the mountains. We stuck it out because we figured there must be a point to driving to Hana. We got there to find not even a good restaurant. We ate some really bad food and then drove 2 hours back. My suggestion is to drive partway to Hana to experience the road and then turn around after about a half hour and go back. Our second day we went to a luau at The Royal Lahaina Resort. We had heard that it was very authentic and better than the one supported by Norwegian. We were very disappointed. We paid $70. a piece and were herded into an area with about 500 people. Terrible food.

Definitely the best port. The most beautiful island. We are already making plans to return to just Kauai for a week. There is so much to see. Again, we rented the convertible (again I suggest this before you leave home as they were all gone again). We went to all the great spots on our own and were able to get a lot in. We drove Waimea canyon (very scary driving but awesome to see), Wailua falls (very beautiful) and wonderful beaches. The second day we chilled on board at the pool. The 6 hour time difference stuck with us all week.
