Good new and bad. The Royal Hawaiin is closed for re-model and I don' think it will be open by the cruise date. There are lots of other things to see in Honolulu.

As far as a luau, you can't beat the Old Lahina Luau on Mauai. It is know as the best one in the Islands. Good food, good drink and great entertainment. My wife and I have been several times and would go again in a heart beat.

Hello, we are on the golden princess to Hawaii over Christmas and New Years. What can I expect to pay for taxi service? We have 5 people going, do they charge per person or as a whole?

Thanks

We never used taxis in Hawaii. There are so many free shuttles and good public transit systems we never needed one. Hopefully someone else can answer your question.

We will be on the islands over christmas and new years. Will the weather be warm enough for shorts? Also would like to go snorkeling? any ideas if the water will be chilly? Any suggestions for surfing? I would really like to try surfing while we are there. Here are our destinations. Hilo,Honolulu,Kauai and Lahaina. Thanks

We were in Kona early Dec & although the water had cooled off a bit it was warm enough for a snuba trip. In Honolulu there were loads of people on the beach & some were swimming (we didn't). It's definitely war enough for shorts but if you need warm water for swimming you might be disappointed.
