Hawaii Cruise - Food

We were all very impressed by the food, especially the desserts, so we took pictures of it. These are some of the desserts that we had. Eating is a big thing on the cruise. Near the end of the cruise, I asked Janice if she was hungry and wanted to go eat lunch. Her reply was pretty telling of the quantities of food that were available. She said that she hadn't been hungry since she stepped on the ship. We were pretty happy when we got home after 14 days of eating, and had only gained 3 pounds each.


Hawaii Cruise - even more pictures

This is our head waiter, Laurentiu, from Romania. Kind of looks like a criminal in this picture, though

This is while we were docked in Ensenada, Mexico

Whale watching. This whale was at the back of the boat and is just about to slap his fin into the water. I was about 10 feet from his tail.

Hawaii Cruise

Finally, after several years, we have done something that is interesting. Janice and I went on a 14 day cruise to Hawaii. What a great time. We went with Jean and Don Ethridge, Tori and Paul Cambell and Tori's mother and stepfather, Ann and Stan Prescott. We travelled a total of 5,144 nautical miles, or 9,527 Kilometers, or 5,919 land miles. We left from Los Angeles and visited Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, and Lahaina.
At Hilo, we took a sea kayak excursion, at Honolulu, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, at Nawilili, we hung out on a beach, and at Lahaina, Janice went snorkeling, and I went whale watching.
We headed back to sea and went to Ensenada, Mexico and then finished in Los Angeles.
We took several hundred pictures, but I am going to spare you and only upload a few;
This is a view from the bow as we headed to sea. Below is our stateroom. It was small but very nice. We didn't spend a lot of time in it.
