Is A Cruise Ship The Best Way To See Hawaii?
The Only Way to See Hawaii

The Only Way to See Hawaii
Everyone knows Hawaii is an extraordinary destination, but what is the best way to see it - staying in land-based resort or by cruise ship? The state of Hawaii is actually comprised of several hundred islands stretching nearly 1500 miles, but only four have a significant population. Oahu has the capital city Honolulu, Maui is one of the most popular, Kauai is considered the most beautiful, but the big island of Hawaii is arguably the most interesting because of its very active volcano.

Unfortunately, if you choose a land-based resort then getting from one island to another is a challenge. The ferry system between the islands was discontinued last year. Now the only option is to fly - the longest distance, between Hawaii and Kauai, requiring 90 minutes.
Our recommendation is to take a cruise in Hawaii, but not necessarily to cruise "to" Hawaii. Two obscure federal laws, The Passenger Vessel Services act and the Jones Act, restrict "foreign carriers" from transporting passengers between two U.S. destinations. Since all of the ports within the Hawaiian Islands are in the U.S. the only way a regular cruise ship can give you a Hawaiian cruise is to include a stop in either Mexico or Canada before heading across the Pacific to Hawaii, usually spending four or five days at sea, before you can even begin your Hawaii adventure.
Is the Sea Calling? Why can you hear it? Why can you hear the ocean when you put a seashell up to your ear?

9 Of The Most Famous Lady Pirates
When you think of pirates, you're likely picturing bearded buccaneers or peg-legged scalawags with names like Blackbeard, Barbarossa, and Calico Jack. While most pirates were men, there were women in these ranks of raiders who were just as merciless, notorious, and feared. Spanning the globe and centuries, we introduce you to the infamous she-pirates of the seven seas.

Frommers Review Of Royal Caribbean International
American Sniper Special Presentation
See the American Sniper history. This is a very special presentation brought to you by We Love Royal Caribbean International.
Making a 1,367 yard sniper shot is no easy feat and the heroic soldiers who fought in the middle east somehow managed to pull off countless record-breaking shots to help fight the war on terror and keep their fellow soldiers safe.
This stunning documentary explains the science and psychology behind some the greatest shots in military history, through the scope of the world's most extreme marksmen.
Canadian sniper Robert Furlong, tells the story of his history-making shot in Afghanistan--striking a Taliban fighter from 1.5 miles away. Ballistics... Tactics... Weaponry... Stalking... This two-hour special examines these critical components in vivid detail, combining interviews with cinematic reenactments, CGI and present day shooting demonstrations to put the viewer squarely inside the crosshairs.Sniper: Inside The Crosshairs
These reenactments are class!
Please enjoy our special presentation with limited commercial interruption.
Will Royal Caribbean eliminate last-minute cruise discounts?
Royal Caribbean Chairman and CEO Richard Fain spoke to analysts during last week’s earning call, “Last-minute discounting is a significant source of discontent to many of our early-booking guests.” Fain indicated that a “more consistent approach on pricing” has been reached because of reducing of cabin capacity in 2015 when Royal Caribbean will have more of its cruise ships based in Asia. This will reduce the supply of available staterooms in the Caribbean, which Royal Caribbean hopes will increase the profitability of each sailing. This may in turn lead to less passengers depending on how aggressively Royal Caribbean prices itself. Fain believes in the long term, it will work out, “we think it will raise the satisfaction level of our guests and strengthen the perception of our brand superiority.” The big question is if Royal Caribbean can actually achieve this sort of change, which Fain cites will be “a source of quite a bit of upset” for early birds. For Royal Caribbean to make this work they will need industry capacity to remain stable in any region as well as avoiding the big PR nightmares that can sour market demand.
