Princeton may have been able to understand the question(s) you asked, I couldn't really follow. No you don't need to show a passport or other documents, other than a government issued ID when boarding an airplane to fly between U.S. cities. If you are saying you are on the Westerdam leaving Seattle on October 24, 58 days to Sydney, with 2 stops in HI, I don't know what travel documents HAL will require for you to board. I don't know if HAL requires VISA documents on a cruise leaving the U.S. or traveling in the U.S. I'd ask them or ask in the HAL Forums.

11:30 is "doable" if you walk off, grab a cab off the line and don't mind a little stress at the end of a vacation. Just remember that "doable" isn't the same as "no problem".

I've never heard of them, but they get good reviews from legit posters, so I'd book them for myself based on those reviews. https://www.yelp.com/biz/skyline-shuttle-express-long-beach

Peohe's has been on a downhill slide ever since Landry's bought them. It used to be my mother's favorite restaurant. No longer. I do go for Happy Hour, which is still great.

Of course not.

Uber is closer to $45, unless you are looking for curbside pick-up. Take Uber to Downtown Long Beach and get a hotel there. The Hyatt Centric is my favorite. There are also hotels near the terminal (Queen Mary, DoubleTree Maya and Residence Inn).

I would not stay by LAX. It is a miserable area. Get a hotel in Downtown Long Beach one of the hotels next to the terminal (Queen Mary, DoubleTree Maya and Residence Inn).

If you haven't received communications from Carnival to the contrary, the parking is at the terminal.

There are several convenience stores walking distance, as well as Cabrillo Liquors & Fine Wines and then a Von's Supermarket just about one mile away.

Just be sure you know Diamond Head requires reservations. https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/oahu/diamond-head-state-monument/

There is nothing "wrong" with the Marriott Biscayne Bay, but I think the Moxy Miami is a better hotel in a better location. The Moxy is small and charming, the Marriott is just a Marriott. It is a big, corporate hotel.

No. No one does post Covid in Hilo as far as I know.

This makes me think about, has anyone ever been on a cruise where the adults look like the adults in the ads? The adults in the ads are 'older', but not too old, always dressed to the nines, incredibly hip and popular looking.

The Moxy Miami is the nicest hotel in the best location.

I eat at Yank Sing (Stevenson) probably 3 times a month because it is pretty much across the street from my office, but my current fave dim sum is Dragon Beaux. Unfortunately it is way up in the Richmond District. I like Palette, but if you are used to dim sum being a great, cheap lunch, be prepared for sticker shock. My last time there I had 3 items and my bill was $51 before taxes and tip.
