The Hawaiian Islands offer tropical adventures you will never forget. Lucy Pemoni / Reuters By CruiseCritic staff GETTING THERE For most travelers, the challenge of getting to and from Hawaii is the only negative on this itinerary. Flights from the East Coast typically connect in Los Angeles and San Francisco, which means you're adding a five-plus hour flight to the six hours it took to get there from New York, say, or Boston. If you have little ones with you and can spare the time, you may want to consider spending a night or two in California to break up the travel time. Obviously, West Coast residents have a shorter haul, and folks in some central gateways, such as Minneapolis and Dallas, can find direct flights to Honolulu International Airport that take about 8 1/2 hours each. Keep in mind that the Christmas holiday season - from about Dec. 21 to Jan. 4 - is high season, which means that air prices are at their most expensive. Summer is also popular because it's "family season." Thanksgiving to mid-December is considered "low season" and offers the best bargains. While NCL is currently the only cruise line originating and ending in Hawaii, other lines offer Hawaii itineraries that sail to or from the west coast of the U.S., Mexico or Canada. The advantage of cruising from the mainland is that you eliminate one or both flights, but keep in mind that you could be adding as many as eight days at sea to the duration of the voyage. Also remember that one-way air fares can be expensive, so you may be better off booking air through the cruise lines and taking advantage of their bulk air rates. THE ISLANDS The islands you are likely to visit on a roundtrip Honolulu cruise and cruises to-and-from the West Coast are Oahu (Honolulu), Maui, the Big Island (ports of Kona or Hilo), Kauai and even Fanning Island in the Republic of Kiribati. Lanai and Molokai are typically only available as shore excursions from the main islands. Repositioning cruises may only visit Oahu and Maui, while also incorporating such South Seas destinations as Bora Bora, Tahiti, Fiji and New Zealand. MANEUVERING AROUND HONOLULU Oahu's cruise port, the Aloha Tower Marketplace, is located about 15 minutes from the airport, and transportation from the airport to area hotels (about seven miles) is a snap via shuttle service (about $18 roundtrip on Aloha Hawaii Trans, for example), taxi or car rental. If you rent a car at the airport, keep in mind that, unlike some other islands you may have visited, Honolulu operates like any other American city - which means you won't experience culture shock navigating the roads. If you are simply transferring from the airport to the cruise port, plan on a 15-minute cab ride. Be aware, however, that the return trip from the cruise port to the airport can be another matter entirely - with daunting crowds at the buses (we suggest springing for a cab) and long delays at some of the terminals at the security check point. Waits of up to two hours are not unheard of if you're trying to leave at the same time as everyone else. Our advice? Stay a few extra days (Oahu deserves a week if you can swing it) or at least consider departing at night for a red eye flight home that will put you on the West Coast in time for breakfast or on the East Coast in the afternoon. BEING THERE Most Hawaiian Island cruises begin and/or end in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu - the most logical in terms of air access. It being the port of embarkation - or debarkation - means passengers often are hurrying from the airport to the ship or hustling away to catch a flight home. But don't forego a pre- or post-cruise stay if you can afford the time because there is so much to see on Oahu. From whale watching and surfing on the stunning beaches of the North Shore to the Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor, the island has attractions to appeal to a wide variety of interests.

The multiple colors and often intense graphics of these garments can often obscure subtle logos. One way to completely sidestep such a hurdle is by commissioning a custom pattern and incorporating the message or logo(s) into the design. Instead of, say, a repeating pattern or palm trees and parrots, why not a pattern of palm trees, parrots and the client's product or logo? While it often requires an order of at least 1,500 shirts, many suppliers do custom Hawaiian patterns designed for their corporate clients. Superior Uniform Group recently did a series of custom shirts for Hawaii Bus Lines that incorporated a bus into a bright floral pattern; Scorpio Apparel has designed prints for both Captain Morgan's Rum and Coors Brewing Company. Custom patterns allow companies yet another avenue for brand enhancement and extension, says Superior's Spies, and a brightly-colored, hard-to-forget avenue at that. "They're the up-and-coming thing, I believe," he beams. These same suppliers who do custom patterns are well aware that the majority of their stock shirts will be embellished, so the stock designs often leave a relatively "quiet space" around the left chest, where an embroidered logo would typically be placed. Fast Lane Clothing Company's Lori Davis suggests a stark contrast between the color of embroidery and the color of a shirt's pattern. That will help the logo stand out on an already loud shirt. While embroidering a sleeve or left chest is a fairly simple task, a pocket usually proves less accessible. To avoid construction-related decorating difficulties, Davis explains, "We will embroider the pocket, then put the garment together." Screenprinting a "white puff" is often a less-expensive option, she adds. Scorpio Apparel's Lew Klein is less zealous when it comes to screenprinting on Hawaiian shirts. "It turns a Cadillac into a Pinto," he says. He recommends embroidering with "a thread that offsets the pattern's color." Such a decorating strategy, at its best, can result in a more distinctive and memorable logo. You do that on a Hawaiian shirt, and you've got one promotional product that's going to get noticed.
