- My next cruise is a big deal in many ways, but there is a problem: the ship is broken! The Royal Caribbean Brilliance of the Seas has been forced to cancel several cruises due to issues with it's propulsion system. Will the ship make it to Hawaii in time for the beginning of our cruise? I hope so! #cruise #royalcaribbean #hawaii

Keep being you morgen, you are the very first cruiser I ever followed on youtube, I've been watching you for YEARS, in fact your videos are what got me interested in cruising. I hate negative themed videos, I can understand if something is bad, but so many channels go out of their way to post the negatives with overly done thumbnails, as they know it gets more traction. I watch emma to see british ships, tony to laugh, don cause he's sweet, JJ they go on ships I want to see, Ilyana for her what to packs and outfits. I rarely click on anything with a negative title, I just won't if it looks contrived. I mostly search out a ship or port I am interested in and watch everyone's take on it. Keep doing what you're doing. I hope your ship gets fixed in time! fingers crossed!!
While in Oahu, hike up Diamond head, make reservations online, fee now is $10. It’s a great hike and the view from the very top is amazing. Go as early as possible before the heat sets in. Then on the way back stop at Leonard's Bakery for some Malasadas (Portuguese donuts)
In Hilo, you MUST visit the volcano. It is active now and you very well could see some lava flow. My niece works at the Kilauea Lodge. An awesome place to see the power of Madame Pele’!! Aloha Morgan!
Lava? Sweet! Can we take some home? :-)
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides It's bad luck to take any of the lava rocks. Pele will not smile on you. The volcano is a don't miss!
Very very bad luck to take home lava! Madame Pele’ does not like that! Bad Juju will follow you!
I think I learned that from the Brady Bunch? 😂🤣😂
@@VeryunOfficialTravelGuides next thing you know you will have a tarantula crawling on you under your covers!! hahaha!
Yes been to Hawaii many times. 2 waterfalls in Hilo, Akaka Falls and Rainbow falls.
Hilo town is very small so not much to see or do there.
Kauai has a very nice fall but the best thing to do is take a Helicopter ride to see the Napoli Coastline. Take a look at Island Helocopters. Brodi from On Hawaii Time (RUclipsr) is one of the pilots of that company. Great guys and awesome Pilot.
Take a look at Outrigger on the Beach, great hotel on the beach and in the middle of Waikiki. LuLu’s cafe for good food down the street.
I avoid what looks like click bait and I think Don’s thumbnails are a little too dramatic, but I do watch anyway because content is always good. I honestly just want to know the subject because I am interested in cruising. Alison and Gordon don’t seem to ever use clicky thumbnails but list actual subjects and I love that. I hate it when content creators say “I’m quitting” or something like that. I wasn’t thrilled with Tony’s “I’m moving out” video when he announced moving his studio out of the house. I like that you are just you.
Nasty Cadbury Eggs? Are you kidding me? Those are one of the BEST things about Easter!
Nope horrid, too sweet ,too slimy !
I like Cadbury eggs! I discovered them as a teenager close to 50 years ago. But I won’t pay several dollars each for them. On the rare occasions when I eat one, I nibble because it is so sweet.
@@23oakhill I guess you must be talking about the crème eggs? I can see your point with the crème eggs. The crème and the chocolate can be a bit sweet, but I love sweet things. There is also the mini eggs.... nothing slimy about those. I just love the Cadbury Chocolate. It is very satisfying.
@@JaniceCrowell Do you like the Cadbury Mini Eggs as well? I just love the Cadbury Chocolate. Quite different from Hershey's Chocolate.
@@dougwheeler1265 I agree about mini eggs, they are delicious. I am interested to know, are you from the States? If so how easy is it to get British chocolate, and is it expensive. I have always found American chocolate awful . We import very little of it to the UK because it does not have a big audience here.
I have been a huge Morgan fan forever... I like that you have a different view from many of the others, and it's crazy that RUclips makes all of the creators go through this jungle just to get a good show out there. Keep up the good work, and the viewers will continue to add up. Slow and steady is always a good way to go!!❤
I appreciate that, Chuck!
Morgan..do Hawaii to Australia then another cruise over to New Zealand...it's totally doable and I'm sure you can get from New Zealand back to Vancouver if you don't want to fly!
I really enjoyed how you introduced Tony & Emma's comments.
Morgan, I do not mind creators using 'clicky' or 'dramatic' thumbnails as long as they still deliver in the content. Just an example, your hiking thumbnail delivered but you could stretch it more and still deliver a TRUE TO TITLE video. As an example something like 'Questioning whether hiking up a volcano alone was really the smartest thing to do?' Remember it is the thumbnail they want even though the title did still say Volcano, get it in the thumbnail. Loyal followers will watch as it is true to the content though maybe with a little Viva Tiara flair but it will also highlight the video to hikers of volcanoes. For me, if a creator starts saying 'Almost killed by pre-historic beast while in the throughs of near death trek on Island in the middle of the ocean.' and then trips over a fossil on his way to a museum in Prince Edward Island or a gecko on his way to Sloppy Joes in Key West, I am not going to be fooled again. Your content is good and the variety and candidness is there for me. Play the game RUclips requires you to do to grow. I cannot remember where the line is from but sometimes it is spot on 'Don't hate the player, hate the game!'.
We just returned from a week in Waikiki and enjoyed our stay at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki. It’s right across the street from the beach, nice rooms (we had 32nd floor with Diamondhead/ocean views), and in the heart of the hustle bustle with all the tourists, which we enjoy.
I watch all of your videos. I'm usually interested in your content, I appreciate what you do and I like your personality. As for your volcano video...I don't think the lack of interest in it had anything to do with you. I think it had to do with the "volcano". That was the least volcano-y looking volcano I've ever seen. It looked like a big, dirty hill. The thumbnail showed that, so it didn't look very interesting. I don't mean to diminish what an effort it was to climb it, but there just wasn't much to see except...rocks...and that it was windy.
Hoping your upcoming videos get a better response. It's easy to see you put in a lot of thought and effort.
And...please, please, please give yourself the gift of cruising to Alaska. We're going for our second cruise there this summer. You won't believe how stunning it is. Book a balcony so the scenery is just outside your door but you can easily step inside if you get cold.
I swear I should have made the title something like, "How A CRUISE is Similar to Climbing a Volcano." Then more people would watch :-P
Dont miss out on Pearl Harbor. The Arizona Memorial, the battleship USS Missouri, the submarine USS Bowfin. Visit Chinatown and the Kuan Yin temple. And the Magic Island park too. And the statue of Duke Kahanamoku in front of Waikiki beach.
I put off taking an Alaskan cruise for a long time for the same reasons you gave, but it ended up being my favorite. Safe, walkable ports. Beautiful scenery. Not hot and humid making me want to get back on the ship for air conditioning. We went in May and had perfect weather and very few children. Going again this year.
Hawaii is beautiful. Definitely, do a volcano tube tour. It's where you can walk through a tube that was created by a past volcano. I think it was on Hilo. Definitely go swim somewhere so you can say you did that in Hawaii. There's a rainforest in Kihei that I heard was good. We were there in May of 2001. We left from the west coast of USA and it was rough going over the Pacific. We didn't get sick, but many did. Once we got into the calm waters near Hawaii, the Pacific was nice.
Agree with JJ - I don't like Click Bait at all.
Hawaii is an awesome place to cruise! So beautiful and gorgeous! It is Hee-low and Kha-why-ee. You will have an awesome time!!
I feel your concern, always feel stressed when cruises before or after get cancelled... Although, to be honest, find this to be more of a problem with smaller cruise lines with few ships. Royal should be more reliable, but we never know if the dry dock project managers get the work done in time. Best of luck Morgan.
Ha! I was just finishing my last bite of my Cadbury egg just as you said that! I didn’t like them as a child but love them as an adult. Great video as always.
I lived on Oahu a couple of years. Visit Polynesian Cultural Center and Diamond Head
Hotel: Ala Moana hotel on Waikiki Beach.
Food: Hotel has a luau often❤. Cant wait to see your video.
HILO: Get some Kona coffee.
Kauai: Lay back and relax in any beach cottage. The Pacific is no more choppy than the north Atlantic.
Hopefully the ship will be fixed in time!
We went to Alaska last year end of May and it was quite warm. You would be surprised. It was very nice. Most people didn't even wear a jacket.
Brilliance is my favorite ship so far!
Don't get discouraged.Like I said I really don't cruise or travel but you're doing something right i love hearing your stories
And your funny as hell
I look forward to your impressions of Brilliance. We will be on her for an Alaska cruise in September.
I don't think Brilliance has as much greenery, but her sister Jewel had my favorite Solarium for years. ( Until we sailed Anthem. If you know, you know )
I definitely second going to Rainbow Falls if you can. That is one of my favorite pictures that I blew up and framed. Also, try to visit a Black Sand Beach.
ps. Hawaiian vowels are easy because they are consistent.
a = ah, e = eh, I = ee, o = oh, u = oo
So you are going to Hee-low and Kah-wah-ee
You will love it!
Great video. It is great but not surprising that other content creators supported you. One of the things that I appreciate about the cruising community is how people including youtube creators bond over their love of cruising.
Volcano National Park is a must!
I thought the best thing in Hawaii was going scuba diving. They have some coral reefs there which are beautiful. I recommend going to see Molokini which is an ancient volcanic mountain island which just barely reaches the surface of the water.
We are doing same cruise but in April 19 on The Quantum of the Seas - so close!! Enjoy!!
I always watch Sunday SofaTime. But if I didn’t, I’d still totally click on this thumbnail. I hope your ship gets fixed in time for your cruise!
Thank you so much!
Alaska is awesome and Australia 🇦🇺 is my favorite country ❤ Go for it!
I swear... every time your intro runs and has that water fountain bit... I truly laugh out loud. Thanks for the chuckle.
Me, tooooooo!!! I laugh every time. So funny!! 🙂
DId cruise to and from Hawaii many years ago on NCL. Calm waters both ways, but that is not the usual. Pearl Harbour for sure should be on the list. Fingers crossed!
The Pacific Ocean is of course very peacefull it is in its name!
Disclaimer: every now and then only. Can be a bit chopy
In Hilo, rent a car (very cheap) and drive yourselves to Volcanoes National Park. Easy drive and an unforgettable experience. Also go to the lava tubes.
Been on a similar cruise and yes the water can be rough. We were good, but our one friend did not do well. Go see the beautiful waterfalls.
I don't often watch your mid week video until the weekend, so maybe views will increased after the weekend.
I have heard having lots comments helps push the video. Even multiple comments by the same person.
You don't do your "Did you get one, what was it about..." jingle anymore. That increases comments!
I understand your concern, but we're on the SYD-HNL transpacific - we're very concerned (at the beginning of the video I though you might be on that leg)! We'll be in AU for a week before the cruise and hoping they do not cancel it while we're there. That would be a logistical mess. BTW, the BoS is scheduled to leave the repair dock on April 3 @ 6:00pm... Hopefully they have it fixed and won't need a drydock.
I will be on Jewel crossing with you
Lots of fingers being crossed at this moment! I hope your cruise happens and that you have a great time. Hide a bottle of wine in our cabin when you disembark :-P
Sounds like a fantastic trip. Hope it all works out. Diamond status is a great perk.
I loved the hike in Fuerteventura ,
You do whatever gets you more clicks, I shall watch what I like whatever the thumbnails say.
Tony is a fab vlogger but a bit different to you, and I watch you both , and get equal amounts of pleasure from both of you.
The Pacific IS famous for being choppy. ESPECIALLY the crossing to OR from Hawaii to Canada or US. I'd be leary at the front or back of the ship.
Of course, it may be that you will be lucky enough to get a smooth sailing! Fingers crossed 🤞 & bonamine in the stomach!!
I love Peeps. But can't eat them anymore. I enjoyed watching you climb the volcano.
They also have the ovation and quantum of the seas on that itinerary. We're still thinking about it
We took a cruise to Alaska from Vancouver in the middle of May. Up front....I sometimes get motion sickness. I always use scopolamine when i fly. I had cruised the Atlantic before without issues. It was not rough seas however. Most of the 10 day trip to Alaska was good weather. Part of the cruise was in the open Pacific. The last night we were in the open ocean was extremely rough seas. Unfortunately it was the night of the fancy dress up dinner. I had gotten all dressed up. At this point the the seas were rough enough to make you look like a drunk sailor walking, being pushed side to side in the hallway.By the time we were seated and I could see outside, I was so sick I could not stay. The dinner was surf & turf. I was so disappointed I had to miss it. I had meclizine pills, but couldn't swallo them. My suggestion is to take chewable meclizine. I needed to buy it on the ship. Thankfully it worked. Hope your cruise isn't cancelled.
I love whn you and Tony collabed that was a nice surprise. I don't cruise but love follow you
I have taken the Honolulu to Vancouver route twice. It was smooth as glass and both were in April. In Hilo there is the valcano and Kauai there is a must visit Waimea Canyon!! They have great beach on the south end of the island, the north end is gorgeous, but rocky and very pretty. I've stayed on Kauai twice at our timeshare on the north end in Princeville. We loved Kauai. Too bad they are skipping Maui as they need our tourist money to rebuild. Still lots there after the fire. Lahaina is pretty much gone, but that is just one part of the island. Maui isn't my favorite island, but the people need our money as the government and others are not helping the locals...kind of sad. I've sent what I could to help the Maui natives from afar. Have fun!!
@JunesTravels Thanks for the cruising info. It is one of my want to do routes. Which line did you use?
Azipods are the propulsion system on the Brilliance. Generally when azipods have to be repaired it requires dry docking...last year Carnival Vista required azipod repair and they brought in a semisubmersible heavy lift vessel that facilitated the repair..so hopefully they will be able to do that procedure...Ive never been on Brilliance of the Seas but Ive been on Vision of the Seas...they are pretty small vessels a little over 90,000 gross tons about 2300 passengers...I lived in Hawaii for 3.5 yrs and the Pacific is never calm...if you get sea sick dont do that crossing....you want to cruise Hawaii on an old ship do the 7 day NCL Pride of America...at least youll only have about 3 days of gastrointestinal upset instead of 5 or 6...❤
The Vision class is smaller/older than the Radiance class. ( Brilliance is Rad!)
As for the other, the chance of rough seas, that just sold Marcus on it!
@MrJJSimonds The thought of someone throwing up for 5 days might make him think twice...I just got off a cruise where my cabin mate got the flu and being stuck in a 200 sqft cabin with someone coughing and moaning for 4 days had me considering going overboard or throwing them over.
Alaska in August wasn't that cold. Glacier Bay was probably the coldest part. Ketchikan was in the 70s with full sun. It was like California winter into spring.
Good Afternoon Morgan and Happy Easter
RUclips wasn't showing me your new uploads lately. I do enjoy your channel and promise I will go find your volcano hike video!
Cadbury eggs are the grossest things ever!!!
Happy Easter to you and Marcus!
I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian village in Honolulu. It is beautiful
I’m having the same worries you are!! 😅We leave from Fort Lauderdale on May 11th and finish in Amsterdam on May 25th. The last few cruises we have taken, I’ve had so much trouble getting my land legs back and those were only 7 or 8 day cruises😳 I hope you manage to get to Hawaii; that was supposed to be out 20th Anniversary cruise (thanks Covid🤪). We will get there one day.
Keep up the great work and I will watch whatever the thumbnail is😊
Sounds like a great cruise! I hope it all happens as planned. As a Diamond member there are no free upgrades. Royal Up is your best bet. As Diamond the 4 free drinks are great. A lot of people are not into the crown lounge but I found it a fun way to meet people. Have fun! 🤩😎
Hello, Morgan. Thanks for your discussion of the thumbnails. When I saw your new thumbnails, I could instantly see what you had been talking about last week. Your explanation has made the new thumbnails so entertaining and funny! I can enjoy seeing what you are trying to do to make the video sound more interesting. Thanks for your book, too. It's very enjoyable.
We are cruising from Sydney to Hawaii then Hawaii to Vancouver on Ovation of the Seas. Looks like we will miss you in Honolulu by a day. 😢. If Brilliance can’t be fixed in time, switch to Ovation. 👍
I loved the volcano vlog!
So excited for your Hawaiian cruise! Wish you guys could hop on the NCL encore out of Seattle to Alaska on May 5. My fantastic family has booked me on that cruise with my daughter to celebrate my 75th birthday which just happens to be on embarkation day! I feel very blessed because Alaska has been a bucket list since I was a little girl. I hope you and Marcus have a wonderful Easter! Thank you for creating so many wonderful videos. You have taught me so much and it is very much appreciated!♥️♥️♥️🚢♥️♥️♥️
Happy Birthday in advance!
You keep doing you Morgan! That’s why I watch you. You had me excited for a second talking about Alaska. My husband and I are planning next year June/July. We want to see the icebergs, bears and whales. Would love for you to go so I can see what you think. People report it’s “life changing”!
In Hilo, maybe go to see the valcano. I haven't been there in 20 years, but I love geological visits. Took a helicopter over the lava flow. Great, but expensive.
Hi Morgan. My wife and I met you on the Symphony’s transatlantic cruise March of last year. We’re booked on the Ovation leaving on April 30, departing two days after the scheduled departure of Brilliance of the Seas. If Brilliance is cancelled, maybe you could rebook on the Ovation. We’d love to have you and Marcus aboard!
We will be in Honolulu starting the 27, and we sail the Celebrity Edge on May 1 to Vancouver. We have done this cruise before, and the Pacific crossing was calm seas and just beautiful! Rent a car for Hilo. So much to do on the island, but there is very little to do in Hilo.
Stayed at the Park Shore Hotel in Honolulu and absolutely loved it! Smaller hotel at the quiet end of the beach strip with great views of Diamond Head as well as the ocean.
Hawaii Vacation Guide channel on RUclips is a phenomenal source of information for everything Hawaii. My son and I both found it the best resource as we planned our respective trips.
I hope that it works out for you.
We had a problem back in July 2019
The Oasis of the seas was in dry dock April 2019 and a crane fell onto it . We were due to cruise in July and it was all fine . I know that’s not any help but keep the faith . It will happen . RC will NOT want to refund all those people . Saying that , something as crucial as a propeller is slightly worrying and I hope they don’t rush the works ? 😮
Loved the climbing vid
Morgan, so we watched last week and thought let’s try that for our latest thumbnail…and it didn’t work out so well 😂. We switched to just a picture of us and tripled click rate. So who knows???
Always enjoy your videos and keep up the good work.
I would not feel comfortable to cross the ocean on a ship that is having problems constantly. Just me - but have a great trip! Can’t wait for the videos
Very funny about Tony @ La Lido Loca
Seattle to Miami would be a nice trip!
Markus really wants to do the Panama Canal!
The Pacific is rougher than the Atlantic- however my crossing was not bad at all! Also, be sure to visit Pearl Harbor!!!! Enjoy being Diamond ❤
I was going on Brilliance from Oahu to Vancouver, 8 days on April 28 but changed my mind because of the issues the ship has.
I would have to fly from San Diego to Oahu 2 days ahead and then fly from Vancouver back to San Diego. That would of been crazy to see you onboard.
Thank you so much for your excellent content. I recently found your channel and have been binge-watching. Also, I purchased your book, and I am enjoying it. While reading your book, I learned that you, my mom, and I have the same birthday! Happy Early Birthday to us!!!
I have hesitated to book Brilliance of the Seas because I am worried about the repairs. Hopefully, everything will be sorted out soon. Have a wonderful trip to Hawaii! It is a beautiful place with beautiful people.
Birthday twinsies! Are you also turning 50 this year?
im subscribed to chris's channel :) hes a great video creater :)
I been on the cruising from Hawaii couple time to west coast the water is nice
Your Hawaii cruise ends in Vancouver BC and you're not going to do a B2B on up to Alaska??? What a missed opportunity! You'll already be in the right place to go to Alaska. I hope you have a wonderful Hawaiian cruise :)
You really need to do Alaska. It is amazing and not so cold. You will love Hawaii - it is stunningly beautiful.
In Kauai, the Rum Safari with Kauai Safaris is super fun! Tubing with Kauai Backcountry Adventures is also really fun, I’ve done both several times. Aloha!🌺
Someone else suggested that and it does look really fun!
Yes..go volcano sightseeing! And l did a 15 day cross over from LA to Hawaii, around the islands 5 days, and back with a stop in Ensenada and the water was lovely 😍 we went in March 2019. I loved the pacific ocean crossing! I hope your ship gets repaired and l love that class of ship...I've sailed on the Jewel of the Seas. Such pretty ships! Smaller and less crowded!!
I did get a commercial this week for Manulife
With the azipod on brilliance. It is definitely a bearing issue, so likely they won’t replace the entire thing
We saw Brilliance in Hobart (Tasmania, Australia) - we were on Celebrity Edge in Feb 2024. I wanted to be on it not Edge! I'm SO jealous! I had hoped that she would return to our Aussie cruise roster but she been removed 😞Oh and be positive - I like REAL reviews not hyped up BS. If its great report it; if its crap then report that. Drama, Drama, Drama be dammed!
NCL has an Alaska cruise leaving from Seattle on May 12th going to Alaska round-trip on the Encore. My wife and I will be on this sailing and we are driving from Vancouver BC to Seattle WA to catch this sailing. If you can switch your flights home you might be able to get an Alaska cruise off of your bucket list.
My husband and I are booked on that cruise hope they get it fixed in time .
According the the RCCL website: she's back on the ocean!
I was on the brilliance way back in 2011.
Hawaii is on my cruise list. I am from near Vancouver. I am sad you don't get to spend more time in Vancouver. I hope you get another chance to visit one day. Then I can maybe get my copy of your book signed. 😊
Dear Morgan. Hawaii turorial...Hawaii is all one state and each island is like a county. The proper name of Hilo is HE LOW. Kauai is pronounced COW EYE. The island of Hawaii is usually just called. THE BIG ISLAND to avoid confusion with single island and whole state. We've made this crossing g a couple times in May and had beautiful crossings. Aloha
Thank you for that! I want to avoid sounding like an idiot. Although, I was thinking it would be fun to make a thumbnail that says: "Goodbye USA, Hello Hawaii!" just to see how many people go crazy. :-P. What do you think, should I?
Morgan
I am not one that comments often but will do so when necessary. Keep doing what you do best. I look forward to your “ sofa time” each week and find your content interesting and useful.
Thank you for commenting this time!
Come to Vancouver. Enjoy a few beach days here in the summer and maybe do some hiking.. Then go on an Alaskan cruise. It's very beautiful. When I crossed the Pacific from Vancouver to Hawaii and back in April. There were a couple of rough days, it was mostly pretty smooth
I am going on an Alaskan cruise in June, on Holland America. It is bucket list one for me.
I was meant to go on the March 30 sailing on Brilliance. Hopefully, it all works out for you. Looking forward to your future videos.
Oh no! Sorry about that. But, at least you'll get a good deal on your next cruise, right?
I cruised on the brilliance (Transatlantic) and we did not like the ship, she is very old and tiered looking. After we sailed she did get some love.
awww you got us excited hehe we thought that you may have been coming to our beautiful country, australia . oh well, who knows what the future olds, anything is possible :)
I’ve loved those dang eggs since they came out years ago. I have no shame about them either! Anyway, I find this whole thing about attracting new viewers fascinating. I think Tony and JJ Cruise both have a good grip on it. I find nothing wrong with slight clicky thumbnails, as long as it’s not a lie and I don’t feel tricked. I have unsubscribed to a couple of cruise content creators in the past for this. I know of one channel I don’t watch anymore because they can’t seem to establish a real identity. You have to have a specific channel personality that long time subscribers will recognize and respect. This is exactly what you have, Morgan. You are doing fabulous and I never miss a Sunday Sofa Time.
Just an FYI, I'm uploading a bday video right now with a joke about the eggs again. I hope it makes you laugh! :-P
Squirrel! Oh no you just outed yourself ! LoL As for the Hawaii trip, I suggest packing a suitcase of money, so expensive.
Again, as I stated on the last video, I think it’s because most people wouldn’t consider this to be a destination on their list . Your video was very well done , so it wasn’t that.
Oh Oahu I think you’d enjoy hiking the Makapuu Lighthouse trail. It’s about 3 miles round trip, a paved trail and not too steep. You may be too late to see whales but from January to March, you can see them almost every day from that trail. Any chance you’ll organize a meet up for those of us who live in Honolulu??
I think that was a really helpful perspective from the advice you recieved... to make sure the thumbnail IS directly related to the content. I feel like part of the reason dramatic thumbnails have gotten a bad rap is bc the video attached to it has very little actually related to the thumbnail/ title. That's when it feels like I can't trust "that" influencer... it makes me feel mislead and "caught in the trap" of their dramaticly interesting title that's not truly supported by the content.
Hi Morgan from Minnesota. I love your videos. I have no desire to go on an Alaskan cruise. It’s cold enough here. lol! I want to go where it’s warm. I agree, Cadbury Eggs are disgusting! Hope your next adventure is amazing and the ocean isn’t sassy! 😁😜😂🛳️
Kauai is amazing. It’s my favorite place. We have not been able to visit in quite some time but cruising the Na Pali coast would be at the top of my list. We also enjoyed the Kipu Ranch ATV tour and tubing through the old sugar irrigation canals!
I have not been to Hilo yet but am visiting in May so I’ll be interested to see what you pick. We will visit the Volcanos National Park but there is no active lava right now, FYI. The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden also looks pretty nice.
The ocean off the coast of Washington & Vancouver Island was very choppy when we went to Alaska on Ovation in 2019. Many people seemed to skip dinner!
