Tenders or Docks in HI

[HISMILES]

We are booked on the May 11 Wind and trying to decide about shore excursions. Looking for information on whether we are docked or tendered at the various ports.

Honolulu - dock
Hilo, Hawaii- ?
Kauai ?
Maui ?
Kona?
Fanning Island - Tender

Any advice on how long it takes to get off the ship if one does NOT have a shore excursion ticket would be greatly appreciated

We were on the Wind in September - If I remember correctly, we docked at Hilo, tendered in Kona, docked in Kauai, docked at Kuhalui in Maui, but tendered in Lahaina. As for debarking when you don't have an early excursion - - just plan on a quiet, leisurely breakfast and wait until around 9:30 or so. There will be an announcement when open debarkation is ready - let the first group of rushers go, then follow behind. When reboarding, be prepared for a wait while passengers go through security check, especially when tendering. It will be a lovely time, enjoy your trip.
