On Sunday we got to board the Pride of Aloha for our cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. We would disembark from Honolulu on O'ahu, stop for two days in Nawiliwili on Kaua'i, then travel to Hilo and then Kona on the big island of Hawaii, and finally spend two days at Kahului on Maui before heading back to O'ahu.

We boarded the ship early so we could enjoy the lunch that was included with our cruise package (hooray for "free" food!). After finding our room and eating a buffet lunch on the pool deck we decided to check-out the ship.

Then we had to hurry back to our room for a safety drill. Ian had a little trouble getting his life vest on.

Then it was off to watch the ship set sail before heading to dinner. The great thing about the cruise itinerary was that you spent the day in port and traveled between the Islands at night. That would allow us to make the most of our time on each Island. Plus, since Ian gets seasick it would allow him to spend more waking hours off the ship if need be! :)
