All of us watching the Napali Coast from the back of the ship brought a tears to my eyes. What a great vacation 🤙 with the best travel family ever and we just ❤️ Max.
Always enjoy your videos. I just found this one. Kauai is my FAVORITE island. I have been there 6 times and I always enjoy it, I spent 2 weeks there last year. I have met many special people there over the years who I stay in contact with.
I've been on Pride of America twice 2010 & 2023. Just came back home 2 weeks ago from the cruise. I've made my mind up that anytime I visit Hawaii, I have to island hop. Kauai, to me, was the most beautiful of the 4 islands. But all are unique in there own way. I've been fortunate to visit Hawaii 3 times & cruise two times. Each time, I find something new to explore. I've found my Happy Place 🙂. Great channel btw!!!
When my husband and I went to Oahu back in the end of Feb it was the most amazing place ! The beauty was phenominal! We would definitely like to go back and stay for awhile. Good choice.
I loved the cruise! This was my 3rd time to Hawaii, and it brought back some good memories of my youth!! Can't wait to visit the islands again!! Maybe in a year or two!! Love my EECC Travels group!!!
Kauai is my favorite. You should have gone to Waimea canyon it’s beautiful! Like a mini Grand Canyon. Take a zodiac boat along Napoli coast into sea caves! Next time
Thank you so much for the vlogs out of Hawaii. I spent over two years there over a five year period working at Pearl and had the chance to see all four of the islands you went to. It brought back some fond memories.
I was born and raised on Kauai during the 70’s and 80’, Poipu Beach and Brennekes are great but Lumahai, Hanalei Bay, and Wailua beaches were my all time favorites back in the day.
We have been to Hawaii three times since 2009. My absolute most favourite place I’ve ever been too. Also, the Big Island has so much to offer but takes a lot more time to see and explore.
Yes, That is a great beach as I experienced it about 6 years ago. I read that the hotels cannot build higher than the palm trees so as not to ruin the views. Thought that was Kool. A hotel there has a Webcam of Poipu Beach as well. Thanks for sharing. You guys are so upbeat and fun to watch.
The Napoli Coast was definitely one of the most beautiful sites to see when I sailed on the Pride of America in 2017. I planned to go back to Hawaii some day soon. Glad that you guys enjoyed Hawaii!
We did the Hawaii cruise and fell in love with Maui. We have been back for 2 land vacations on Maui. Last Sept we spent 3 weeks on Maui and it was the best vacation ever! Headed out on a Royal Caribbean southern Caribbean cruise at the end of the month.
I wish you would have rented a car on Kona! When you go up to the Waikoloa area, there are amazing beaches and areas to explore. Big lava tube near the airport. And driving to the north point for the views is worth the time. You can enjoy the view from the top or take a hike down to a black sand beach. Cool little towns along the way and a place to stop and see remains of a village from over 600 years ago. The big island is our absolute favorite place to vacation.
The Big Island has so much to offer. I spent a week there and love it just as much as Maui and Oahu. I don't think spending the day in town gave you the best perspective. Definitely try it again! I swam with the Manta Rays at night and it was unbelievable!
I was in Kauai a month ago. My first time to any Hawaiian island. I suggest you go to Kauai for sure. I absolutely loved the fact there were no big cities - just pretty quaint villages - and how nice it was to be away from any big city feeling. Each beach has its specialty whether it is for the unique fishes or the gorgeous huge sea turtles. We were so busy every day with such fun adventures, such as kayaking, cave tubing, biking along the coastline, snorkeling many beaches, awesome boat tour along the Napoli Coast at sunset, and more. Ya gotta do it! 🌴🌴😎😁🌴🌴
We took our family trip to Kauai in June 2021. It was the trip of a lifetime!! Absolutely beautiful! Poipu Beach was one of our faves too. We did a catamaran tour of the Napoli coast and yes it is stunning. 8 days in paradise and I can’t bc wait to get back 😊
We actually were at Kauai staying on land in a condo at Poipu Beach. Nice little area for swimming and pretty tree-lined drive out there. Saw the Canyon which is spectacular. South Point Blow Hole was so-so. Enjoyed Tropical Taco which at the time was a food truck. Don't know if it still is in business but I think it may be a regular restaurant now and up near Princeville. On the ship when we cruised, the coastline was nothing short of spectacular - one would enjoy a balcony cabin for this as you would on an inside passage Alaska cruise.
I'm new to your channel but really enjoy your down-to-earth videos... very genuine and real. I agree, the islands are so different, it's tough to choose a favorite. The Big Island definitely has a different look/feel, but once you get adjusted to that, it's awesome ! If you go back to the Big Island, I would recommend spending a week there, minimum. Visit the Pu'uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park and then walk over to Two Step to snorkel, snorkel at Captain Cook monument (accessible by tour boat or a steep hike), do a nighttime manta ray snorkel (AMAZING!), join a tour to the summit of Mauna Kea for sunset/stargazing, and go fishing in Kona.. deep blue, calm water right off the coast and great fish. Thanks for the videos!
Like Every time I think that’s so pretty, there’s more pretty landscape or water or sky. And this is a video- I can’t imagine being there in real life. It must have been unreal! ❤️
And the best thing about it is you were in the good old U.S. of A. You barely scratched the surface of it's natural beauty . And FYI, the best fish tacos I ever had were Mahi Mahi tacos at " Island Taco" in Kauai.
Spent two weeks there in 1996, rented a Saburu Brat and covered every inch,,,had a wonderful time. High lite was a helicopter tour, did not have a drone back then, but in person was the best. Looks about the same with more people, would like to return one day but I live on a similar island in the Philippines, Camiuin.
We did Kauai & Maui last month. Hands down, Kauai is the prettiest place I’ve ever been too. Shipwreck and Poipu beaches are gorgeous. North side also very nice
Thanks guys we’ve been to Hawaii twice and both times just short stints near and around Waikiki. I’m Definitely considering the NCL cruise as a good way to taste the rest. Plus we need to explore more of Oahu..Greetings from New Zealand. I would love to see you both exploring down this way one day..
Kauai was my favorite 25 years ago, which by the way was a two weeks inter-island introduction to Hawaii independent tour. Flights were like taking a bus.. short and sweet by either Aloha or Hawaiian Air. Car rentals were cheap. You missed the canyon on Kauai. The views of the coast from above are spectacular too.
I really enjoy watching y’all! You both describe everything so well from the ship to the food & seem to have such a good time together. This Hawaii trip would be awesome. I’m like you, give me the least busy places! I have never been on a cruise & my husband either - we are both 65. Do seniors get any kind of discount?? I doubt it but if I book one I’ll go through you Elise. Happy sailing!
Love it, I hit the islands at least twice a year and Kauai is my best island, like you I like to chill. I’m booked on a 16 day Hawaiian cruise Jan 6th 2023 from San Diego on Diamond Princess. Great Restaurant in Kauai are Bull Shed and Lava Lava Beach Club is a nice place to eat and drink right on the beach. I also did Turo in Kauai and picked up the car at the Airport. Fred San Diego Ca.
If you like to People watch then Waikiki Oahu, if you like to chill and relax with less crowds then Kauai. Helo flight or the dinner cruise off the Napoli coastline is a must.
I live in Canada but have been to Hawaii 6 times in the last 9 years. I love it there 🌺, and my in laws go there every year for a month since the 80’s.
I saw Nepali coast from a helicopter in 2019 on a cruise excursion. Stunning! In November of this year cruising to Hawaii again this time with Tahiti for 28 nights. Can’t wait
Born & raised, but never been to the spots u folks been to🤷♂️ , love your folks vibe, u'all Beautiful Ohana!👍🤙......btw , what model the Oakley's, u was runnin in Kauai😎👌
My husband and I are seriously considering this cruise. It would be helpful if you had the videos arranged in a playlist in the order of the days of the trip. Thanks
A friend of mine who was in the Air Force about 40 years ago and stationed in Hawaii, told me that back then KAUAI was off limits to tourists and Haole. A native did sneak him onto Kauai once. Now KAUAI is open to all. Thus probably why Kauai is not as touristy (yet) as the other islands.
Me being a former travel agent. I have been on several cruises. I have done all the Caribbean New England Alaska Baja Peninsula. Norwegian Pride of America Hawaii cruise was the best even with my issues at the beginning
We booked for 2024 (already have 3 cruises before then). Wondering what camera you used for underwater. I have a go-pro and a little Panasonic that's ok but older. This trip looks amazing!
Sometime you need to take a small boat right up to the cliffs on the Napali coast. We were in a boat that can go into the caves. Unfortunately the swells were too high for us to go in
When I was 15 years old, my parents rented an RV and we camped on poipu beach. As my kids would say this took place generations ago. It was awesome back in the early 70’s, not as commercial.
Gorgeous video and your son is model gorgeous what a handsome young man. This island is the island my nephew got married on, i was unable to attend the wedding but i sure was disappointed.
Hard to make that decision if you don't stay at each island for a week and really get to know the place. We've been 6 times and each island has its high points but Kauai is our favorite - laid back, less touristy and the beauty is incomparable! Must do the Na Pali Coast by catamaran in order to appreciate it fully. Also drive up and see Waimea canyon then up to the top to see the Na Pali Coast from the top - the Kalalau Valley is breathtaking! Def put it on your calendar for a return trip! Aloha!
Kaua'i is where people come to relax and get away from the city lifestyle. If you want to relax and enjoy your vacation, you should come to Kaua'i. If you plan on coming here, go and check out Waimea Cottage. You will definitely love it. It's old cottages that they remodeled. You have ocean and mountain views. Infact, you're right on the ocean.
I have never seen so many stars in the sky as when we were on the big island sitting on our balcony at our Hilton Grand vacation Club hotel! Unbelievable
Everything is just beautiful. Breath taking!
All of us watching the Napali Coast from the back of the ship brought a tears to my eyes. What a great vacation 🤙 with the best travel family ever and we just ❤️ Max.
I think I'm with Jason .Kauai looks lovely! Thanks for sharing your experience on board ship as well!! Looks like a great taste of what's in Hawaii 👍
Max is going to be so excited to see himself! What a cruise with my friends! 😎🤙🏻♥️
So cute. He did so good!
We hope he sees it!! Max is a natural! 😁👍

My dad lived right down the rode from the waterfall. It’s so gorgeous there.
I just watched most of the Hawaii videos. I will definitely be booking this cruise with the extra 4 days thanks to your videos!

Another great video, been a spectacular series. Love Jason's t-shirts. Thanks for sharing and happy cruising.
My partner and I are going to spend 8 nights in Kauai and 4 nights in Maui later this month. Your videos are getting me excited!
Lovely Alissa and Jason! We are on a Hawaiian Islands cruise next year….looks fantastic! 😊❤️

Turo is my favorite! Prices are generally lower and you can't beat the convenience! I used it for the first time in Nashville and it was the best!

The Big Island has so much to see and do. You just need more time there to explore.
I really enjoy watching y’all!

We did the river. We Kayaked to the falls! We did it twice. It was beautiful
We’ve actually stayed on Kauai for like 4 days! We stayed right across the road from the beach! It is amazing! There’s turtles at night too!
We didn’t get the Napali coast tour ..but we did end up seeing Molokai ,which was gorgeous as well…
My husband and I are seriously considering this cruise. It would be helpful if you had the videos arranged in a playlist in the order of the days of the trip. Thanks

Loved watching you both visit all the islands! Hawaii is on my bucket list. Just curious, was this cruise discounted because of so many closures?
NCL has a cruise that does Hawaii and then goes to Tahiti and other islands. We were going until covid
We went to the Big Island in May for 8 days, by far the best island!! You didn't get the full big island experience if it was your least favorite.
So beautiful
Love Kauai!!!

HaPpY AnNiVerSaRy, you two cute kids!🎉🎈🎊🥂
We took a small boat stout the Napoli coast and went in a couple caves and did snorkeling
Kauai Hawaii has the most beautiful beaches. The waves are very rough.
We stayed at condo right near popu beach
Also in condo on north side in princeville
When I was 15 years old, my parents rented an RV and we camped on poipu beach. As my kids would say this took place generations ago. It was awesome back in the early 70’s, not as commercial.
Must hike in to see the real beauty...
@@Jer-Jitsu agreed, Waimea Canyon was beautiful.
Other islands are the way Hawaii IS...Kauai is the way I want Hawaii to be! :)

So beautiful you two.... Where to next
OMG I WAS JUST THERE
The blow hole down the road from where you are at the beach is .
Condos are great to stay
North shore onNni beach has great snorkeling
I have never seen so many stars in the sky as when we were on the big island sitting on our balcony at our Hilton Grand vacation Club hotel! Unbelievable
You missed out if you thought the big island wasn’t worth it you need more time then like a day there
We stayed on big island and went to Kauai for a weekend to see family. So much to do on both.
Since when did they start fining? That’s new to me
Is there a beach within walking distance from the port here? We will be there on the Carnival Radiance in October.
I saw a drone shot!?! I thought you got that confiscated??
Didn't you guys go to the volcano national Park where you was abke to walk under the active volcano in one video
Not Monk seals, but lots of sea lions at the harbor in Oceanside
Good morning good morning good morning did you guys ever do a ship tour of the American pride or did I just miss it
