Royal Princess Cruise-Day 1


We woke up to a very rainy day. Kauai is the rainiest spot on the planet with over 600 inches a year.  It is a true statement when they call it the Garden Isle – it is truly lush and green.  A point of interest – Kauai is the fourth largest of the Hawaiian Islands, and one of the most isolated.  Kauai was never conquered by King Kamehameha and it retains its unspoiled flavor to this very day!

It was kind of a recovery day for us with ship inspection, workout, a swim in the pool and of course a Jacuzzi.  Went in to Kihoe for some shopping, and back onboard for a cocktail reception, dinner and a show.  This could get pretty redundant.  We’re going to need to up our activity level.

Today we will spend the day in Lahaina, Maui. We tender from the bay as it’s too shallow near the shore.  Weather, sunny and about 84 degrees, sun block for the solar panel!  

Until tomorrow,

Cruising with Herm
