If you read more closely, Lookin_Glass, you'll see that first time visitors typically don't visit (especially) Molokai and the Big Island. It's usually Oahu and Maui and/or Kaua'i and/or Big Island for the volcano. So I was trying to get a sense of what Nickie is hoping/expecting to see/experience. It's different from island to island, you know. But I don't know why I need to explain my post to you! Are you the forum moderator?

Did not the poster ask about Molokai and Hilo and Kona and Big Island?
"I would like to visit Molokai (leper colony) and then to big Island - Hilo for a couple of days then Kona for the balance of our stay."

You should also take into consideration that December is *winter* in Hawaii. Northern shores will likely have wind and rain and rough oceans. Hilo will be wet. Higher elevations will be wet.
Won't you have had enough of Hilo on your cruise?
I suggest you stay in the Kohala area on Big Island rather than in Kona. There are nicer hotels and condos there. It's more likely to be vog-free. It's where that island's relatively few easy-access beaches are located. You can drive up to Waipio and back through Waimea quite easily.
I would want a car at some ports rather than take expensive and limiting ship's tours. I'd want a car for at least a day to drive Oahu's pretty east and north shores.
Will you be arriving and departing Honolulu?
