Cruising Hawai'i's waters

If you have driven by Aloha Tower on a Sunday, you have seen it: the giant cruise ship docked at the pier, completely dwarfing many of downtown’s high-rise buildings. Spending a week on NCL’s Norwegian Star is one of the most enjoyable and economical ways to get a taste of Kauai, the Big Island, Maui, and the foreign port of Fanning Island. If you haven’t visited any of the other Hawaiian Islands, cruising may be the way to go. And if you have visited then cruising offers a very different perspective.
