Hawaiian Cruise











Hawaii Cruise 1 2-Day Hawaiian Cruise October 3-15, 2005 Aloha Everyone! Hawaii is absolutely beautiful! Our itinerary was as follows: 10/3 Honolulu - Boarded Carnival Spirit 10/4 Honolulu - Departed at 6PM 10/5 Arrive Nawiliwili, Kauai 10/6 Arrive Kahalui, Maui 10/7 Arrive Lahaina, Maui 10/8 Arrive Kona, Hawaii 10/9 Arrive Hilo, Hawaii We were at sea from 10/10 to our arrival at Ensenda, Mexico on 10/15. We then boarded busses to San Diego or Los Angeles for our trip home. One of things to do when visiting Hawaii is to tour the islands. The scenery is breathtaking. The mountains, the craters, the flowers, the clouds. Words cannot describe Hawaii. One must see it for themselves. Seeing pictures of the Arizona Memorial is one thing, but to see it in person is a very moving experience. After the Arizona, we toured the submarine USS Bowfin and then on to our sister ship USS Missouri. Some of us toured the engine room of the Missouri. Our thanks to Dick Hamann and his friend Stan Nicholls for arranging these tours for us. For this cruise we all wore yellow t-shirts, compliments of the Cruise Connection. Of course, we took a group photo , compliments of our Wisconsin Association. Our cocktail party was hosted by Carnival Cruise Lines. Thanks to Claire and Dick Hamann for another great cruise! Looking forward to our next one in 2007. 1 Approaching Oahu 2 3 4 You can see Pearl Harbor from this vantage point. 5 Some of us climbed to the summit of 763' of Diamond Head Crater. 6 It started out with the sun and ended with heavy rain 7 8 9 This was taken just below the summit of Diamond Head 10 The famous Diamond Head as seen from Waikiki Beach 11 Underwater photos taken from Atlantis submarine 12 13 14 15 16 17 On our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center 18 Great Show!! 19 Sorry for the out of focus pictures.

Howard Dicus It's counterintuitive with the memory fresh of the only U.S.-flagged cruise line halting all Hawaii operations just a few weeks ago, but state officials have produced statistics that show cruise traffic has helped a lot this fall.

Brought to you by Cingular The information can be found several pages into the month Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism report on visitor arrivals to the islands. It says 18,939 visitors arrived by air last month to take cruises that set sail from here. That represented a 24.3 percent increase over year 2000 levels. In October 2000, American Classic Voyages had just one cruise ship in local service, the Independence. A second one, the Patriot, began sailing by the end of the year, substantially increasing Hawaii cruise traffic. American Classic ran critically low on cash after Sept. 11 and filed for Chapter 11 last month, ceasing Hawaii cruises (on both of its vessels) Oct. 20. The numbers described above came in a quarter better than year 2000 even with no AMCV cruises at all during the last ten days of the month. "The Patriot and its sister ship the Independence have ceased their operations in Hawaii," the DBEDT report says. "However. their absence is to be filled by the 2,500-passenger vessel Norwegian Star, which is scheduled to commence interisland voyages in mid-December." Eight foreign-flagged cruise ships also made port calls in Hawaii last month bringing 12,563 passengers. That was one ship more, and almost 1,600 more visitors, than October 2000. There is one apples-and-oranges factor in the shift of cruise berths from American Classic Voyages to foreign-flagged carriers. Cruise lines generally keep port calls brief and encourage shopping on their ships. AMCV sought to distinguish itself with many Hawaii port calls, so that customers spent as much time on land as they did at sea, putting more money into island businesses. Foreign-flagged cruise ships also have a legal obligation to add at least one non-U.S. port of call to their Hawaii cruises. Some lengthy cruises set sail from Los Angeles but stop in Mexico before proceeding to Hawaii. The Norwegian Star is expected to make a side trip to another Pacific island.
