This is absolutely the best series you have done!! I am with Dee in that I get teary eyed over the beauty of the islands and the magical feeling you get there. I've done 2 cruises (15 days from LA) to Hawaii, and think your methods for touring are fantastic. Thanks for sharing with all of us. 😁
New sub here, I was drawn to your positive energy! As a born and raised local on the islands, I appreciate when visitors make a real effort to pronounce Hawaiian words correctly and you did a great job! I enjoyed your videos and am glad you both had a wonderful visit here!
I watch all your videos on Hawaii and I enjoyed them. Every day I waited for the next. Hawaii is simply beautiful. I watch ECC TRAVEL videos and everything they do was different than yours. Which was great, because I had more to see.❤️❤️❤️
Back from our Pride aug 20 -27 cruise, I looked at your 9 videos before & after our cruise. Enjoyed all, with some comments as to “differences”. Your Hawaiian dancing 4 women, etc, we did not have even once. We had one woman Hawaiian ambassador” who danced by the pool once who when I got my camara would only pose with me, which I did not care for, I only wanted a picture of HER dancing. Then your food choices in main dining room were by far much better than ours! (I cried over this, and I’m no foodie). I had been in Maui in 1994 and this time revisited the Polynesian cultural center (which gave YOU a show one night (No Hawaiian show EVER for us). At the center, they have cut the big canoes diff culture dancing which is what I went to see…. Gone. But when I saw them dancing for your cruise, I just wished the same for us. Our cruise director was a woman not your Kevin… quite disappointed. We did the whole loop to Hana and younger, in 1994 after Hana it was not paved, now it is, so rental car didn’t even mention the not doing it. Wonderful, and we had a convertible w perfect weather. We had the same room than you did. (10548) but had no towel animals! Wished I had remembered theKulua volcano park… didn’t know about breakfast at Cadillac restaurant, missed this. We did not have the show “lights, camera music” but did have show iCON on last day, which was good. Last, the corner bathroom mirrored IS indeed a convenient cubbie for stuff and does open with more force than you gave it.
Thank you for posting the video!! We booked out first cruise with NCL, and will also be first cruise in Hawaii - this will be my 5th time to Hawaii. We have done 3 cruises on RCL.
Dee i would cry too. I am sad that your videos are over for Hawaii. I have enjoyed so much watching you and Jay and also seeing EECC videos. Looking forward to your next adventure. I will be planning a trip to Hawaii for me and my husband.
I enjoy watching your videos from Hawaii. Next time I’m ready to go to Hawaii, I’ll take another look at those videos. I watch ECC Travel and their videos were totally different, which was great. I enjoyed both of you guys.❤️❤️
As stated before...I watch your vlogs every morning, when you load them! I love watching your Vlogs. You do such a great job! Jay makes me laugh. And I love to watch Dee snorkel! Hawaii is so beautiful!
As always thank you so much for sharing all of your adventure's with us. Everything was amazing. I understand how Dee felt I would cry too. You guys are the best. ☺️❤️
That coast line was incredible. Awe Dee… I’d cry too. What an absolutely amazing cruise. Thank you both for sharing. And I love all the snorkeling videos. That’s some of my favorite things.
Loved your Hawaiian videos. I've been to all the Hawaiian islands twice but it's been many years. Loved seeing places I saw and how they have changed. We were lucky to rent a plane and watch the lava flowing down into the ocean. There was a little white church that the lava actually parted and flowed completely around it. Unfortunately, during the next eruption it destroyed the little church. I completely understand all the tears. Same for Alaska.
Loved the whole Hawaiian series - brings back so many memories!! I really loved seeing the Napali Coast!! We did a 4 island land tour so that was something we missed. Thanks!!
My husband and I are going on this cruise in September. It has really been helpful accompanying you on this cruise so I know what I have to look forward to! Thank you very much!
Dee I love how you just appreciate the beauty before you. You just the kinds of person that needs to travel and see God's beautiful earth. What a blessing
Enjoyed the video. I am doing this in January 2024. I can definitely agree on your opinion of the shower. Not looking forward to that. Was on the Norwegian Sun 10 years ago and at least it had a sliding plexiglass door. Spoil yourself on a Viking ocean cruise. Did Alaska in 2022 and love the bathroom.
I've been to Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, but I'm loving the look and feel of the ship that I'm tempted to take this Cruise anyway. At least Kauai will be new, and it's never bad to revisit Hawaii
Nice video. Sometimes you just have to take it easy and relax for a day or 2. Both you were extremely busy and I know I would never be able to keep up with you. Definitely have to add this cruise to my bucket list.
We took a catamaran ride along the Napai coast. The cat was specially designed so it could go into the sea caves. Unfortunately on our sailing the surf as too high and we couldn’t go into the caves but we did go to the entrance of one. Fantastic.
I enjoyed this series. I am glad you spent the last day exploring the ship. It helped me get a sense of what is going on, if for what ever reason I don't want to get off and see Hawaii!
The double rainbow was the first thing I saw in the shot at Oahu. The Napali coast is so beautiful. We just watched from our balcony and took tons of pictures.
Oh the wonderful memories your Hawaii vlogs have brought back to me. I told my husband that I want to go back but on a cruise ship this time so I can see every island. Thank you so much for sharing your trip. Looking forward to the next vlog. Take care and Aloha!!
Great series guys. Like I said, you brought back so many memories for me. You must go back to Kauai and do Captains Andy's Nepali Coast dinner cruise. Absolutely amazing. Thanks again. Safe travels and til next time, Aloha. 😁🤙
My 8 year old daughters and I found your series when looking up the NCL Escape that we will be on next summer. We absolutely love your videos; they are so comprehensive and you guys are hilarious as well! They are wondering if either of you get seasick? Thanks so much for the videos!
Great series. I’ve done this Cruise twice so I have to ask. Did you have any success getting footage of the lava spitting out of the mountain when leaving Hilo after sunset? I have failed twice. Not enough light to produce an image but have imbedded in my mind the thousands of what appeared to be campfires covering the mountain side.
I really enjoyed this series. It inspired me to looking into booking this cruise. I had a question for you, did you just book the 7 day cruise or did you add the Cruisetour that NCL offers with 3 days at the Hyatt and tours?
We did indeed! We made a whole dedicated video to our experience with Turo and how we handle vehicle delivery here: ruclips.net/video/bMzQtQZWqUw/видео.html
I love watching Dee and Jay and envy all their travels. We are going to take this same cruise in July and can’t wait. I have learned so much from their little tips. I get a kick out of Dee and her love of snorkeling and the joy she gets from seeing all the underwater beauty. I enjoy Jay’s narratives about everything when he talks in a man voice, but it gets a little annoying when he talks in that seesaw baby voice and thinks it’s cute adding made up words”bibbleybabbly” and such. Just talk like a man and it’s s much better. I’ll continue watching their channel and tune out his voice when possible so I can gain knowledge and tips for future cruises.
We normally poke our projected route into Google Maps to estimate how far we’d be driving, but we usually tried to find someone with unlimited mileage for our long driving days.
Not only do I not understand why the hairdryers are not in the bathroom, I don't understand how you keep your fritos and doritos from getting soggy in the shower.
We faithfully watch Dee and Jay, but noted two big fails in this series. Why would you buy food to go only to sit in your car with a view of the parking lot when you are only blocks from gorgeous ocean views with picnic tables?? Secondly, anybody who chooses to stay on board and do origami vs spending any amount of time on a Hawaiian island is foolish.
Of coarse the decisions you make are yours, but when you post them online and allow people to view them…you should expect and appreciate it when people who like you give you constructive criticism. You can learn much more from criticism than people blindly thanking you. I assume you want to increase your viewers…..
Nah, our main goal is to have fun. We've never been concerned with numbers and trying to grow a business. That just sounds like too much work! Plus there were some other logistical choices in doing things the way we did that we didn't get into in the vlog because we didn't think it was important!! :P ~Jay
Those “numbers” your referring to are called viewers which make your channel and cruising possible. It’s a shame most people these days don’t listen to or take advantage of criticism when they receive it and instead they just get defensive and mad.
It's also a shame that some folks would choose to nitpick and toss insulting names at us, rather than appreciate the decisions that we choose to make while sharing our vacation experiences the way we choose to share them, but hey... to each their own, right? :P ~Jay

Great video.........Your vlogs make me want to take a cruise to Hawaii. So much to do, see and experience. Thank you......
You guys did an absolutely wonderful job of showing us Hawaii. 😍😘❤

As always thank you so much for sharing all of your adventure's with us. Everything was amazing. I understand how Dee felt I would cry too. You guys are the best. ☺️❤️
Thank you for sharing your trip with us. I picked up some helpful tips from y'all. Well done you two.
Enjoyed taking this adventure with you and can’t wait for more! It was Great!❤️
Great series! Helps me to be ready for Hawaii in April!
That coast line was incredible. Awe Dee… I’d cry too. What an absolutely amazing cruise. Thank you both for sharing. And I love all the snorkeling videos. That’s some of my favorite things.
Hawaiian legend says that if you see a rainbow on your last day on the Islands, you are assured a return in the future !!!!!!!
the Napali coast tour was my favorite part of being on the ship
Don't feel bad Dee, I cried too when we had to leave.
Loved your Hawaiian videos. I've been to all the Hawaiian islands twice but it's been many years. Loved seeing places I saw and how they have changed. We were lucky to rent a plane and watch the lava flowing down into the ocean. There was a little white church that the lava actually parted and flowed completely around it.

Nice job on the series, ParoDeeJay! Great info and photography. Thanks!
This was an awesome vlog series!!! Loved it all, the Napali Coast is so beautiful, those mountains are so amazing! Take Care...
Have to say your best series so far. Hawaii is truly magical. I'm not surprised Dee got so emotional. Thanks again.
By the way, I feel so sorry for Jay when it comes to the shower. His footage of the showers are hilarious!
We agree with you regarding the service on the POA. We had good service on the ship when we sailed.
Thanks so much! Loved all the videos! We leave on Friday morning and catch the ship on Sat. We were on POA 10years ago and loved it. Mahalo
Thoroughly enjoyed this series.. really do wish I lived closer (England) Hawaii looks all amazing!!! Thank you Jay & Dee appreciate your sharing
Loved this. And, Dee, I found myself tearing up because it was over as well.
Loved the whole Hawaiian series - brings back so many memories!! I really loved seeing the Napali Coast!! We did a 4 island land tour so that was something we missed. Thanks!!
My husband and I are going on this cruise in September. It has really been helpful accompanying you on this cruise so I know what I have to look forward to! Thank you very much!
Beautiful photos by Dee
Enjoyed the content from the ship "point of view". Thanks
Sorry to see this end. What a wonderful cruise.
Dee I love how you just appreciate the beauty before you. You just the kinds of person that needs to travel and see God's beautiful earth. What a blessing

Great series, I know it was an epic experience especially since DEE did some watering. Stay safe and ROCK ON!!!
You guys are absolutely adorable. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope one day to meet you on a cruise.
I've been to Oahu, Maui and the Big Island, but I'm loving the look and feel of the ship that I'm tempted to take this Cruise anyway. At least Kauai will be new, and it's never bad to revisit Hawaii
Oh I so didn't want it to end. Loved it so much. Thanks for bringing back fantastic memories for us.
🎤 drop brilliant 👏.
Saved them all.
Safe travels guys.
Nice video. Sometimes you just have to take it easy and relax for a day or 2. Both you were extremely busy and I know I would never be able to keep up with you. Definitely have to add this cruise to my bucket list.
Loved this series!
We took a catamaran ride along the Napai coast. The cat was specially designed so it could go into the sea caves. Unfortunately on our sailing the surf as too high and we couldn’t go into the caves but we did go to the entrance of one. Fantastic.
the music for the presentation of the meal choices is great! thnaks
Great videos & pics. We did Napali Coast by helicopter & boat. Awesome views!
I enjoyed this series. I am glad you spent the last day exploring the ship. It helped me get a sense of what is going on, if for what ever reason I don't want to get off and see Hawaii!
The double rainbow was the first thing I saw in the shot at Oahu. The Napali coast is so beautiful. We just watched from our balcony and took tons of pictures.
This is my dream vacation! I am so sad I finished this video playlist 😢.
We have two other Hawaii video series as well, ha ha… One of our favorite places!! :P
@@parodeejay Yay! That made my day. I love your videos they are so well done
Oh the wonderful memories your Hawaii vlogs have brought back to me. I told my husband that I want to go back but on a cruise ship this time so I can see every island. Thank you so much for sharing your trip. Looking forward to the next vlog. Take care and Aloha!!
Such a great series. Thanks for sharing and aloha!
Great cruise. Love Hawaii. Thank you for sharing.
Great series guys. Like I said, you brought back so many memories for me. You must go back to Kauai and do Captains Andy's Nepali Coast dinner cruise. Absolutely amazing. Thanks again. Safe travels and til next time, Aloha. 😁🤙
Thank you for sharing your Hawaii experience with all of us love it and will be visiting Hawaii one day
I absolutely loved this series!
Nnnnnoooooo!!! I want more Hawaii. :) Thanks for sharing your adventure. :)
My 8 year old daughters and I found your series when looking up the NCL Escape that we will be on next summer. We absolutely love your videos; they are so comprehensive and you guys are hilarious as well! They are wondering if either of you get seasick? Thanks so much for the videos!
We don't get seasick. I've had times where I've felt not great but never physically sick luckily. Bonnie helps if you take it before to prevent that.
I loved this series from both you and EECC. I'm so sad it's over but all good things must come to an end I guess. On to the next adventure!
If you were alone in the Conservatory, it would have been a cool place to sing. :D
Sad to see the series end, great job
Another fantastic series!
Great series guys
Great vlogs, loved ‘em.
Thanks for the vid!
I'm looking for a larger luggage for myself. I'm loving the look of Dee's. Can you share the brand/model please?
She’s got a 28” from Ben Sherman.
Great series. I’ve done this Cruise twice so I have to ask.
Did you have any success getting footage of the lava spitting out of the mountain when leaving Hilo after sunset? I have failed twice. Not enough light to produce an image but have imbedded in my mind the thousands of what appeared to be campfires covering the mountain side.
I really enjoyed this series. It inspired me to looking into booking this cruise. I had a question for you, did you just book the 7 day cruise or did you add the Cruisetour that NCL offers with 3 days at the Hyatt and tours?
We did the cruise only, then plotted our land adventure separately.
Did you use Toro for all your car rentals? Do they park the car close enough to the ports such that you can walk to pick up the car?
We did indeed! We made a whole dedicated video to our experience with Turo and how we handle vehicle delivery here:
ruclips.net/video/bMzQtQZWqUw/видео.html
Curious, since most showers are so small on ships do you ever use the gym/spa showers?
I love you guys!!! 🥰
You should have done the Fern Grotto in Kauai its beautiful.
I love watching Dee and Jay and envy all their travels. We are going to take this same cruise in July and can’t wait. I have learned so much from their little tips. I get a kick out of Dee and her love of snorkeling and the joy she gets from seeing all the underwater beauty.

And the Coast Guard makes a cameo at 21:25 :)
Are you on out or starboard side on deck to see Napoli coast
Good morning ya'll
Was your room on port side?
Turo question…when you rented did you do unlimited miles or was 200 miles a day enough? Thanks
We normally poke our projected route into Google Maps to estimate how far we’d be driving, but we usually tried to find someone with unlimited mileage for our long driving days.
Hey you guys. I have a ? About Hawaii. I am going on a two week cruise in January and I wanted to know how far is the port from pearl Harbor
Should be about ten miles or so from the pier in Honolulu over to Pearl Harbor.
Oh ok thank you
Did you guys walk are did you get a taxi
We did a tour, which we showed in our Oahu pre-cruise vlog series!! :P
Not only do I not understand why the hairdryers are not in the bathroom, I don't understand how you keep your fritos and doritos from getting soggy in the shower.
Jay, you need to move that woman to Hawaii!
We faithfully watch Dee and Jay, but noted two big fails in this series. Why would you buy food to go only to sit in your car with a view of the parking lot when you are only blocks from gorgeous ocean views with picnic tables?? Secondly, anybody who chooses to stay on board and do origami vs spending any amount of time on a Hawaiian island is foolish.
Thanks for your input, but we enjoy vacationing how we want to vacation!! :P ~Jay
