Hawaii by Cruise Ship: The Complete Guide to Cruising the Hawaiian Islands [With Giant Pull-Out Map]

We just took a cruise around the Hawaiian Islands on the Holand America cruise line. We saved sooo much many thanks to this book! Instead of spending lots on the excursions, (Such as Pearl Harbor, Volcanos National Park, Snorkling), we just rented a car and got to see a whole lot more than we would have if we had signed up for just one excursion. Plus, as the book will tell you, a lot of the excursions that you pay $100 (or more) for are actually free (or at least half that price). Thanks to this book, our family made the most of our time on the Islands. I highly recommend this book for anyone visitting any of the Islands!

We really loved this book. It had alot of very helpful suggestions in it. A few things had already changed but overall it was a nice guideline to go by.

I am planning my first trip to Hawaii and have found this book very knowledgable and informative. It has given me wonderful ideas for our trip,as we will be cruising on NCL. Excellent source of information and great tips....thanks

I am the owner of [...] and I'm taking my family on a Hawaiian Cruise aboard the Pride of Hawaii this month. Even though I've been selling Hawaii forever, I have found this book to be an invaluable resource for anyone planning a cruise to Hawaii. If you only have a day or two in each port of call, you can really struggle with picking the right excursions or validating the one's you may have already picked. This is like a Bible for anyone cruising to Hawaii. From the pre- or post-cruise hotel packages, to the restaurants, beaches, shore excursions, national parks, attractions in each port of call you'll be very glad you picked up this book, and believe me you'll take it with you as well. You'll get the most benefit from it if you read it before you actually book the trip, but definitely before you start planning your shore excursions.

We had purchased a couple of books about traveling to Hawaii and were not satisfied. If you are planning to take the NCL cruise of the islands, this is THE book for you!!
