Romantikcruiser I have been on many cruises and enjoy most of them. This cruise was very disappointing.

Lol, in Hawaii everything is shipped in, so yes, the ports are shipping ports. If you were lucky, you had Lahaina on Maui. You need to spend some money on the islands, most ports aren’t for cheap people who just want to get off and walk around

I read your other review…while I do not invalidate your experiences …it does appear that cruising is not for you…you should enjoy and relax on your vacations…not be stressed

Thanks for the review. Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Ships dock in the ports that are available, which are cargo ports in some destinations. Hawaii does not have multiple cruise ships a week docking, so it doesn’t make sense financially to build a cruise ship only port.

Our experience on Princess is the opposite. Maybe you picked the wrong destinations. Oops 😬
