Exploring Luxury Hawaii Cruise
Luxury Cruises aren’t always the best way to see an exotic locale; the single exception to this statement may well be Hawaii. The 50th state has specialized in tourism since before World War II, and its mid-oceanic locale makes it an ideal vacation spot for adventurers, party heads, and amateur scientists alike. If you’re a gambler and you want to visit Hawaii, a cruise ship is probably the ideal way for you to visit. So consider a Luxury Hawaii Cruise.
Gambling in Hawaii is illegal; you can’t hold a bingo game there, let alone a blackjack table. But luxury cruise liners hit international waters, and aboard a ship the captain’s word is law. So if he says Roulette is ok, it’s ok. Hawaiian officials aren’t too happy about it, but until they find a legal loophole, the tradition of gambling on a luxury cruise liners isn’t going to change.
Prepare to get acquainted with the ship. Most luxury cruises to Hawaii start on the West Coast, and you’ll spend more time at sea than you will in Hawaii itself. The average trip is about two weeks, and it takes about six days to reach Hawaii from the mainland by ship. Still, Hawaiian cruises are cheaper than a hotel room, and you’ll get to see a lot more of Hawaii on a cruise, even if you spend less time there total. And with an exotic locale like this, sometimes quantity can outweigh quality. Bring a camera.
On the flip side, Norwegian Cruise Lines has a home port in Honolulu, and they offer regularly scheduled seven day excursions—so you could fly to Hawaii to board your ship and spend seven days sailing around the islands and stopping at various ports, without ever having to spend an entire day in the middle of the ocean. That’s a huge plus if you get sea sick easily, but don’t mind paying for a plane ticket.
A Luxury Hawaii Cruise can range from prices as low as $450 to $5,000—just keep in mind that you get what you pay for
