We’ve been waiting YEARS to do this cruise and we just finally booked it for this December on Discovery Princess. We are so excited!! Got a freaking crazy great deal for the cost of the cruise. This will be our second time on the Discovery Princess ship. That ship is awesome! We were thrilled to find out it’s going to do the 2 weekHawaii cruise!
I know The Discovery is the Princess line's newest ship. Perhaps my next cruise will be aboard that ship too! Have an awesome time on your cruise to Hawaii and thanks for watching and leaving your comment! 🚢⚓
Really enjoyed your video and the smooth interlude music. Flying soon into New Zealand from LA for a cruise back to Long Beach with stops in Australia, South Sea islands and then on to Hawaii then back home starting in 2 weeks (57days). Haven’t seen Hawaii in 25 years, I’m sure it’s changed. Hope Frank healed well. You are a good friend. Mahalo and Aloha. Oh yea… I just had to say… please assure Frank that there a NO snakes in Hawaii, he’s safe. 😁
What a wonderful 57-day travel adventure you're about to have that also includes Australia! No doubt it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It had been about 30 years since I had visited Hawaii, specifically Honolulu, and yes, much had changed. Sadly, a few months after our cruise, Frank passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. I lost my best friend of 30 years and my cruise buddy. I don't know if you also watched part 2, but I never finished editing to post part 3, which included Ensenada, Mexico, before returning to San Pedro and then back home to Long Beach. I just didn't have it in me with my friend's passing. Perhaps I will one day soon. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Safe travels, and thank you for your kind words! Bon voyage! 🛩️ 🛳️
Yep, he didn't engage much while filming on this cruise, unlike the cruise we took to the Mexican Riverera 3 years before. ua-cam.com/video/2FcT5ULL_xg/v-deo.html. He had been dealing with some health issues but had been improving. Sadly, he passed away suddenly from a cardiac arrest 5 months later. I'm glad he was able to experience this one last cruise. 💙
not for me once carribean to barbados from san juan 12 days bored outta my gourde never again claustrophobic and old people now too many old people now lol@@Keithbythesea
Our 3rd port of Call was Lahaina, Maui ( Shown in Part 2). With the devastation from the wild fires on the Westside, I wonder if your Cruise will stop on the Eastside of the island instead, or perhaps another island? In any case, have a great time in October and thanks for watching! 🚢
Such an informative vlog, thank you! Really enjoyed watching. A cruise to Hawaii is high on my bucket list, given that I like in Western Europe, it's quite the distance and expense to go to the Island/Islands alone, so a cruise seems the right option to see if I enjoy before spending a lot more cash to explore the islands in greater detail.
Does Hawaii still smell really nice? I went many years ago, and besides the extreme heat, and constantly being called haole (pr. howl-y) by the natives, that is my most prominent memory. It smelled amazing from the moment I stepped off the plane!
Apparently most cruise ships, as with the Princess line, are foreign-flagged cruise ships and are required to visit at least one non-U.S. port. While in Hawaii, we sailed to 4 ports of call and the 5th was Ensenada Mexico before sailing back home and up the coast to San Pedro, California. (Our stop in Ensenada will be included in Part 3) Thanks for watching!
Yes, I'm a California native and live in the Alamitos Beach community of Long Beach, California, about 25 miles from LA. My friend Frank lives 1 block from me
I appreciate any comments and likes if you did enjoy this video! Thanks for watching! 👍😉

Frank the world record for words spoken in 5 days Total 7

Great video - very informative as I am going on this cruise in October :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on editing Part 2 now and will publish it as soon as it's completed.
Thanks for watching!
Poor Frank.
Frank is a serious buzzkill. 🤣🤣
Yeah, he didn't really engage much when I had the camera on him. 😕 Look for Part 2 of our cruise once I finish the editing. Thanks for watching!
I’m sure Frank wasn’t feeling the best with his hand getting hurt. Hope he is better.

I have sinus and allergy issues, so I didn't really notice the smell much, but all the islands were warm and humid. Again, thanks for watching!
When did you go? What was the weather like cruising to and from the islands
The cruise was January 16th - 31st. The voyage to each island was over night and temps were moderate to warm. Thanks for watching!
Why the passports? I didn't think they were required if you traveling to Hawaii.

You and Frank live in California? Boohoo.
