My family had our best trip in 18 years when we went to St. John in March. Having said that and being a member of the forum for about 5 months I feel awkward for traveling to Hawaii for my next vacation. Not only am I not going to St. John but I will be on a Cruise ship. Hope I haven't offended anyone.

No problem from me - I am a "cruiser" as well and lived on Oahu for almost 2 years 
Just know when cruising the Hawaiian Islands no gambling allowed on ship 
(unless they have changed the rules recently)
You will have a great time - what ship are you on??

We will be on Spirit of America with NCL. We did the same cruise 3 years ago. We will be staying on Oahu for three days first. Do you have any Suggestions?

You don't have to apologize to anyone for your vacation choice...
Honolulu is a bustling city..Waikiki Beach was very disappointing..very crowded. Pearl Harbor is a must-see. We did an awesome Sunset Dinner Cruise past Diamond Head . Try to get to the North Shore area. That's where all of the surfing is and that side of Oahu is nice.

Well truth be told everything we do including our trips to St John has/is been/being paid for on a Royal Caribbean credit card. And you can bet we will enjoy the heck out of the "free" cruise when we cash in those points. Enjoy your vacation my friend no matter where you go. Or as one of those commercials say "get out there". Just send me the links to the photos when you get back. Have a great time.

I second BevM on the North Shore; it's very laid back and a completely different vibe from Honolulu/Waikiki. I personally liked Waikiki too, but I'm from a tiny town, so I like the craziness of a tourist area. Depending on when you're cruising the North Shore can be wild waves. We were there in February a couple years ago and they were having surf competitions-very fun to watch.
Cruising is a fun way to see a lot of different places and economically right now they're running great sales on a lot of cruises. The prices are fantastic.
Enjoy!

Thanks for allowing me to stay. We did the same cruise three years ago and it was fabulous.
We definitley want to get to the North Shore.
I think I may take some surfing lessons so I can use them the next time I am on Cinnimon.

I was looking at your avitar (well parts of it) and at first thought that may be interesting.
Then my eyes looked higher and I thought differently.

What time of the year are you traveling? Recommend just stopping by the Mai Tai bar at the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki beach. It's the original Mai Tai bar of Oahu. Beautiful location.
