Turned the balcony table upside down and used Duct tape and bungee cords to secure. It would've taken the whole table with it if a gust that strong came along.Zoom in on the picture and you can see how it was attached We only opened then when we were out there. Never an issue. Again, I doubt you'd be able to do what I did but I can't see why you couldn't bring your own collapsible umbrella onboard.

This was 10yrs ago on the Island Princess. Turned our non covered balcony into a covered one. Only used them when we out there. Doubt you could use them on the balcony today. Gave them to our room steward. They collapesed down nicely and we checked them in when boarding.

Very light drizzle. Real muggy if you aren't used to it. Good beer drinking weather.

We move another hour forward tonight so tomm will be on HST.

We were supposed to be there on "Lei Day" but due to port congestion Honolulu got moved to the 2nd and we got Moorea instead of Kona.

I booked the Penguin Experience at Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Aquarium in Auckland last June. It sells out as they only allow 4 people to participate 3 days a week. Awesome experience. I used to tell my Mom, "I've been to 6 continents and you've only been to 5." So she planned a trip to South America and actually was able to land on Antartica and walk around in penguin poop. I don't think I'll make it to Antartica, but I've gotten to walk around in penguin poop. Very inquisitive little guys

Not a peep on the Majestic right now. Just wish people would realize that letting their door slam does affect other rooms.

Pride is in Kahului 2 days a week.The cruise we are presently on moved our HNL stop from May 1st to the 2nd due to "port congestion". We had Moorea substituted for Kona. We are scheduled for a stop in Lahaina in Oct on the Coral, and Pride is in Kahului that day. The Coral is small enough to get into Nawiliwili and I hope that's where we go instead of Kona. In Lihue my go to is Hamura Saimin.

Great seeing you again. We were off to eat at a place we had seen reviews on only to find out they didn't open till 4pm. Suzanne did find a backpack of stuff for the grandkids and I found several good beers. Hope you found good wines.

I thankfully haven't had any for the last few days. I check everyday.On one correction, it got taken off my ledger and then added to my wife's.

Really wasn't a bad walk to Te Papa.

Amazing how quick the turn was.

I wanted to get it sorted out before I put gift cards I have onto my account. Nothing stopping my getting a drink. Just have to be sure it doesn’t slide off the table

That makes sense as to the 2 entries. A discrepancy had to be cleared. Mahalo

Royal Class vs Crown Class. Our favorite cabins are E731 and E730 on Crown Class, they are the full aft extended balcony fully covered mini suites.Not the same on the Majestic. E728 is a Owners suite and E731 is an aft facing Deluxe Balcony.
