Thinking About A Cruise?

Aloha!

I have just returned from a glorious nine days in Hawaii! It's just the "medicine" for our stressful lives today!

I arrived in Honolulu, and took a transfer van to the "all new" Outrigger Reef on the Beach! This hotel is truly, once again, worthy of it's spectacular location on Waikiki Beach! Anyone who has not visited Waikiki lately, or this hotel in the past six months, should give it a try. Outrigger has done something very special here, and you will experience "aloha" once again at the Reef!

On Saturday morning I took a taxi to the magnificent "Pride of America"! My check-in at the pier went smoothly, and I was accepting a cold glass of "bubbly" before I knew it! Norwegian Cruise Line has in fact changed cruising forever! I for one... am very glad they did!

This ship is genuinely your "home" for the next week! With shops, restaurants, lounges, and entertainment galore! A beautiful Mandara Spa and gym (for staying ahead of those pounds!). Oh... they have the traditional dining rooms too! But with the specialty restaurants, and so many to choose from... why not?! The staff aboard this ship is awesome! Attentive, happy, caring, and the hardest working people I have ever met! I had a balcony stateroom, and would never want anything less!

Now for me, this was a "business trip". I have to tell you, I can't think of a better place, or way to "do" business! The Pride of America is the only cruise ship registered to the United States. That makes doing business on board... a tax write off! The meeting space on this ship is amazing! The staff was absolutely spectacular! If any of you have a group, or just want to create one? This would be the best of all worlds! All the equipment and space you need. Then when your meetings are done... instant resort!

Right now today, even in this economy... and maybe because of it! Now is the time for a vacation like this one! The rates are crazy low, and will not be this low ever again! The value of this experience, when compared to the actual cost... priceless! Whether you have been to Hawaii, or thinking about it? This is a great way to do it! Plus for those who are able, and I highly recommend it, the packages for before or after your cruise, really completes your time in Hawaii!

When value and experience... AND price are all this good at the same time? What are you waiting for, contact me today and let's talk about it? This vacation... is how you really can be "taken care of"...

Just a few of my thoughts... from a Travel Professional!

  1. Aloha piha, Teri. AWESOME write up; very well done! And you are sooooo correct about the NEW Outrigger Reef. Was there last Thursday/Friday and it IS everything you say. And your clients should DEFINITELY check out the evening entertainment at their poolside bar -- Kanikapila's! Currently a great musician, and dear friend, is playing -- Kawaika Kahiapo-- along with Gabby Pahinui's son. AMAZING duo...true Hawaiian songs AND you'll meet local folk there because the duo has such a great local following!
    Don't miss it!
    And Ms Teri....keep up the positive blogging! The world NEEDS to hear fron "An Insider"!

    A hui hou aku malama pono ~~ take care until we meet (see each other) again!
    Hugs and honi...
