Sorry, I have not posted a review on my Hawaii cruise. There was some posting regarding Heidi the dog that sailed on that cruise and later I ask Joe to post a few pictures of a Coast Guard air-sea rescue that took place on that sailing. Use the search engine and type in Heidi the dog and air-sea resuce and you should find them. Very interesting stuff. I'll post a review later as I am leaving this Sunday for a Panama Canal cruise on Mercury. I'll post a review on that cruise also.Richard
Good to see your posts as always. You andI almost agree. My favorite is Rotterdam VIand my second is Maasdam.....third is theStatendam.

I need an opinion. You and others have spoken highly of Statendam. My wife and I would be interested in the Hawaii cruise, IF
The passage is not a panoply of aloha shirts and ukeleles! I can see the "theme" beingestablished early on!
There is reasonable opportunity to wear tuxes and long dresses. I have a mental image of what "formal night" - Hawaiian style might be - shoes come to mind!
I like the schedule of the many days and nights at sea, but I am not that wild about an ongoing Hawaiin theme. And "poi" at all meals? [just kidding]

Thanks for the evaluation.

I've been there before many years ago, but would love to go by ship. It would feel just like the trans-Atlantic era to me...the ship is actually transporting me to someplace rather than just going around and around on the same old itinerary.
TAKE YOUR WIFE TO HAWAII BARRYBOAT. THIS CRUISE IS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE CARIBBEAN. THOSE 5-6 DAYS AT SEA ARE SO RELAXING AND AS YOU SAID LIKE A TRANS-ATLANTIC CROSSING AND JUST THINK YOU DO IT TWICE - THERE AND BACK

I would also add that to my tastes, Hawaii is infinitely nicer than the Caribbean
