Seattle Boat Show
Hawaiian Cruise
We boarded on a Tuesday in San Pedro. Saturday morning, “LAND HO”, we spotted the big island and began paralleling it as we aimed for a southern port, Hilo.
We spotted the port of Hilo as our ship slowed to a crawl. The smart port planners of Hawaii had created a water breaker and our ship bent around this one and poked ahead. A shore patrol came whizzing by and made sure that all fishing boats kept their distance!
From Hilo, we were set to visit a crater and an almond factory s store.

A Hawaii Fishing Vacation
I really didn t need a cup of coffee. Yet I find myself here, at Starbucks, across the University of Seattle, with coffee in hand wondering if there s anything fun that can come out of today.
It seems ironic that we left the high-eighties in Hawaii thinking we were headed to the cooler, maybe even rainy, Pacific northwest! Instead we are greeted by temperatures that made what we left seem cool! With some time to kill while the students I accompanied here attend their workshops, it would seem a great opportunity to break away and enjoy the city. Seattle is a wonderful place and the quick drive into town from the airport last night reinforced my

North Up the Pacific Coast - Vision of the Seas Review
So call me a Negative Nelly or whatever they call someone who sees the negative in things, but I cannot ignore the negatives, and to be fair, I shouldn t. So Let me state up front that this review will have some negative points in it, but let me also state that we did enjoy our cruise and would do it again.
Our first cruises were on the Royal Caribbean Monarch of the Seas and the Carnival Paradise. Both of these ships did cruises out of Los Angeles (Long Beach) to Catalina and Ensenada. Both are smaller ships of their respective lines and are the basis of any comparisons that I made when looking at this cruise.

When we booked this cruise our expectations were a little lower then if we were booking a regular itinerary for a ship because it was a repositioning cruise.
