CARNIVAL SPIRIT TO HAWAII
 

This is our first time on a cruise. We leave October 7 for our 12 day cruise to Hawaii. I am so excited! Any tips, suggestions etc. will be greatly appreciated!!

Hey Linda,<BR>I will be sailing with you on my honeymoon. I've booked the Old Lahaina Luau in Maui....heard it's the best and a must see. Only 24 more days!

Haven't been to Hawaii on the Spirit but have sailed her through the Panama Canal. You will love the ship.<BR><BR>Paul

Eat at least once at the Gourmet Resturant. My client rave about it and say it is well worth the $25 p/p charge.

Yes, Joe's Stone Crabs are great.<BR><BR>Paul

Thanks, we'll probably eat there once or twice!

The only problem I can see with such a cruise would be a strong temptation to jump ship in Kauai !<BR>Have a great trip,<BR>p.

Just wanted to see how you girls enjoyed this cruise! Linda or Deedles!<BR><BR>Thanks

Hello...sorry I'm late. Loved Hawaii but wish I would have just stayed in Maui &amp; Kona. The ship was great, don't get me wrong but filled with senior citizens. Oh well, we weren't looking to party but it got annoying.

Thats a Twist!!!!!!!! A CARNIVAL ship full of SENIORS!!!!!!!Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

And DEEDLES if you are lucky, someday you will be a senior citizen.....

Yeah, hopefully one day I will be a senior.

Actually, there are several Carnival itineraries that get a heavy dose of Seniors. On the Canada/New England 7 day on the Victory my husband and I at 56 and 57 were one of the youngest couples on the ship.

We were on the Spirit last April. It is a beautiful ship. The gym/spa area is great (wonderful showers there after the sauna/steam room) The gourmet restaraunt is wonderful, and they featured live music for dancing. We returned after dinner in the dinning room one night for a drink at their bar and dancing. So even if you don't eat there, go up for a drink and maybe some dancing. Enjoy! Mary

It is true that as more and more seniors find that the value, food and entertainment is nothing like the Carnival of old, they are filling the ships. <BR><BR>Paul
