Cruise ships used to stop once a week at Kailua Kona, but these days they seem to be present three or four days a week. There’s no dock so the ships anchor offshore and ferry passengers ashore by boat.
On Tuesday I saw the Norwegian Spirit heading in. In the photo, the Honokohau Small Boat Harbor is in the foreground illustrating the difference in size!

Sorry, not 2016, just 2019! Anyway…

I think I’ve seen this ship in Helsinki (or more likey just very similar ones). (Of course I had to check, and yes it was here in 2016 and 2019, apparently! Can you imagine, it has sailed all around the world to get to you?)

Not for me either, Graham xx

Not my idea of a way to vacation, either. The only cruise I am interested in is one up the Alaskan coast, as we’re unlikely to ever to on a driving trip all that way.

Me too, I confess. I was on one for a week and spent most of it figuring ways to get away from everyone!
