I think you want to answer the fundamental question of how many adults per vehicle? Will everyone be ok in a big van with one driver? Being prone to motion sickness I always drive, if you have 3 motion sensitive people like me you'll need 3 vehicles, which would also rule out a private tour guide. After you figure that out then its an economic calculation of how many vehicles. Search past threads for rentals ideas, but generally you Uber from the port to the airport and rent there, not difficult. Oahu logistics are probably different assuming you're flying into Honolulu prior to the cruise.

 

BTW kudos for coordinating a vacation for 9 adults, it sounds, well painful...

We have done this several times before. This is our first in Hawaii. Got to make those memories while we are still able to do it. 

We are a family of 9 adults traveling on the Pride of America at Xmas. Want to know how other families found transportation on each island? Did you hire a private guide with van to transport the group or rent several cars? If so please share how to do this. 

We will be a group of 9 adults on the 12/21 cruise in Hawaii. Looking for recommendations on renting a van or hiring guides with a large van or bus to get us around while visiting each island. We do not want to book through the cruise. Any suggestions as to how to tour as a group in one vehicle? 

Unless you're driving to the cruise, whatever you do better not be heavy. If your flying you could bring colouring books and markers!

what is wrong with questioning the honesty of someone who is a cheater?

Am thinking about book an AI day at Sanchos in November. Were the beaches in Cozumel damaged by last week's storms? Any recent visitors with an update on the best beaches for snorkeling in Cozumel?

We sailed the Carla C as our first cruise. Got an inside room way up on an upper deck. It was pretty spacious considering that one of our table mates got bunk beds in the belly of the ship. They kept complaining about diesel fuel smells. We must have been over the compressor or something because our whole room vibrated. Getting into those "Twin" beds at night(they were permanently attached) was like having "Magic Finger Vibrators" in our beds, except we didn't have to put any quarters in. Took me three months to stop the boat motions in my head when I got back.

We had the best waiter! The bread and pasta were to die for. Visited our first topless beach in Guadelupe---the guys went crazy snapping pictures---only to find out after the cruise that topless women look just like guys from a distance with a regular camera lense!

All in all, we had a great time and met some wonderful folks.
