Occasionally I have been asked “how tall are those cruise ships?” Well, here is part of the answer. I am currently on deck 11 of 17 and am 165 feet above the sea. I’ll let you estimate the rest.
From our balcony we can see the port of Lahaina, Maui and the island of Molokai to the north.
About 11 AM we boarded one of the ships tenders to go ashore since the Star Princess is much too large for the port of Lahaina. Because of the heavy traffic our 12 minute tender ride took about twice that time.
While wandering around encountered a group of Edmontonians vacationing in Maui. More accurately, they noticed Gail’s Canada T-shirt.
Our whale watching tour was late starting, again because of the heavy port traffic. The wait was rewarded with lots of whales all around the boat. The final scene was played by hundreds of spinner dolphin. I didn’t even try to photograph the show. I’ve failed in several previous attempts.
The return to the ship was very quick. A tender was waiting as we stepped off the whale watching boat.
Now, hot tub, shower, dinner and dancing will finish the day.
