keishashadow Posted May 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Just starting to pick a Hawaiian cruise for next spring. Confused as to a portion of the itinerary I’m seeing for the Radiance 1st day: Listed to embark on 5/5 from Honolulu 2nd day: Honolulu “docked, depart 5 pm” Haven’t seen this before, just so I’m 100% clear:confused: Does this mean guests would board the afternoon of the 5th? Then, have an overnight in port, but be free to come & go from the ship until the usual all aboard time on 5/6 for the stated 5:00 pm saiing?

ONECRUISER Posted May 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, spending nite and next day in Port. Can get on/off anytime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted May 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes you’re correct. I’m thinking of taking this sailing as it saves a little on hotels if I plan to arrive 2 to 3 days in Honolulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeck Posted May 31, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Having never been to the islands I love the itinerary. The overnight at Honolulu is a big sailing point for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee & Chilli Posted May 31, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I’m still thinking about the 5 consecutive days at sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Cruz Chic Posted May 31, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Yes, check in and embark on the 5th, think of it as your hotel and come and go as you want and be back on board at designated time on the 6th to depart Honolulu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keishashadow Posted May 31, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Thanks all. Interesting idea to save on a night’s hotel costs. Need to compare the itineraries once I round up all the options but this one seems to hit the highlights. DH commented on the length of time at sea. since he was in Navy on a carrier, would think it’d be a breeze for him Not sure of connections from Vancouver to my city. Will table till flight schedules are released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted May 31, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Unfortunately, this wasn't the original itinerary for this cruise. There was supposed to be an overnight on Kauai, instead of Honolulu. But it is what it is now, and overall, still a good itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t notice itinerary changes on other lines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted May 31, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I’m still thinking about the 5 consecutive days at sea. It's a partial TP - what is there to think about? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBSteelerfan Posted June 1, 2018 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Was it cancelled due to the current volcanic activity? Didn’t notice itinerary changes on other lines No, it was changed long before that happened. We booked last October, and it wasn't too long after that it changed. We were told something to do with availability at a couple of ports, and having to change our itinerary around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBSteelerfan Posted June 2, 2018 #13 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks I was hoping things will have settled down there soon if not by next spring. Agreed. Feel so bad for all the residents there. Just so much unknown with the volcano. If you do book this cruise, come on over to our roll call thread. Very active and a great group of cruisers!

Will join the roll call if we land on this one. thanks. If SWA ever gets round to scheduling flights to HNL, we can move forward lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
