Check the "Holiday" notes file. I believe I saw a note about someone
just returning from a Hawaii cruise.

You might look into going on American Hawaiian Lines. They have
two ships going on seven day cruises around five of the main islands.
I beleive each ship stops at four islands each week. The iteneraries
are the same, the Constitution goes in one direction and the
Independence the other. We have looked at taking this cruise several
times but haven't gotten around to it yet.
There is also a new line doing Hawaiian cruises now, I have not
read much about them yet.
Hope you have a good time. Let us know if you cruise in Hawaii and
how it was.

We took the American Hawaii cruise two years ago. It left Honolulu
on Saturday nite and cruised until 7am Monday when we stopped in Kona
(on the Big Island). Left Kona at 6pm Monday and docked at Hilo at 7am
Tuesday. We did not leave Hilo until 11pm that nite and docked at Maui
Wednesday at 7am until Thursday nite when we left for Kauii. We were
in Kauii Friday from 7am til 6pm. We then returned to Honolulu.
There were 4 of us (including my then 10 and 6 year old sons) sharing
1 cabin without any space problems. We found the cruise exceptional
and will probably do it again. Send me mail if you have additional
questions.

< American Hawaii Cruise >
We have just returned yesterday from Hawaii. We took the cruise
aboard the SS Independence, as .3 says you stop in 4 ports on
3 islands. You have a choice of many tours to take at every
stop. We took the helicopter tour of Kauii, well worth the $129.00
per person price. In Kona we went snorkeling in the a.m. then
spent the afternoon walking along the beach. In Hilo we spent
most of the day at the Volcano national park. We then spent
the last 2 days of the cruise in Maui, there we rented a car
and explored the island on our own. We drove the scenic road
to Hana and to the seven sacred pools, well worth the 6 hour
one way trip. Different scenery at every turn in the road, just
fantastic. The return trip took a little over 2 hours. The next
day we went to Naapali and Lahaina to do a little swimming and
shopping. On our return to Honolulu, we then spent 4 days there.
Again you have a variety of tours to choose from. The Polynesian
Cultural Center is a must. Other tours you may want to take
is Pearl Harbor, Punch bowl, etc. For night life you must see
the Al Harrignton show ( beats Don Ho by 2 miles ) and The Society
of Seven. For shopping the International market place, The Royal
Hawaiian Center Mall, and The Ala Moana Center.
I could write all day, but for a capsule for I'll stop here.
