Aloha & Bon Voyage!

Yes, it’s true. I’m a Cali girl who’s never been to Hawaii. But that will all change in June, when Stephen and I jet off the morning after our wedding to the Hawaiian Islands for a weeklong celebration aboard Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America!

Stephen and I fell in love with cruising a couple years ago when we traveled to Mexico, Costa Rica and Panama on a Carnival ship. Not only did we love the convenience of setting up excursions and activities right through the cruise line, but it was also amazing to vacation in multiple countries without having to constantly pack up and move to another hotel, or hop on yet another flight.

Plus, the food was included in the sailing price, and the ship offered relaxing spa services, fun cooking classes, great wine tastings…you name it. We were hooked! Here, a sneak peak at what we have to look forward to in Hawaii, where our stops will include Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, and Kona.

What are your honeymoon plans? Have you ever been on a cruise? If you’ve been to Hawaii, do you have any must-see recommendations for us?

  1. All of that looks so great! You're going to love Hawaii. If you are going to stop off at the Big Island, definitely go to the volcano national park. It's well worth it to see an active volcano erupting into the ocean! My fiance and I aren't cruise people (we like the excitement of packing up, catching flights and buses in foreign countries), but this looks very relaxing!

  4. Hawaii is so nice - the people, the lid back vibes, and the tropical views...
    Which islands are you going to?

    Waikiki has the North shore and those shrimp trucks. Maui has the black and red sand beaches. Hawaii (Big Island) is known for its volcanoes and black sand beaches - try to get as close as you safely can. Definitely snorkel where you can too!
