Beautiful location- the surf has a lazy river which is perfect for floating the day away. Next door is Marriott ocean which has a casino and both are in walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

I absolutely loved this cruise, we hit several islands booked excursions either thru NCL or on our own. Experienced each island and didn’t have to worry about hotels and luggage. I’d do this again

Kauai- The Smith Garden Family Luau was fantastic. We booked this on our own while on a cruise. They offer pickup and drop off to ports. Food was good- show was great and the scenery breathtaking

This was alot of fun to do with the kids- they were part of a revolution. And there was also a place to get something to eat and served various samples of tea. Some of what they were drinking during that time.
