Hi Doydie!

Joyce and I just got back from a 14 day Princess cruise to Hawaii in November. We went out of LA to the islands, visited 4 islands, to Encenada, Mexico and back to LA. My agent got us the best rates in all areas out of 5 different agencies I was comparing, AAA included.

I invite you to my personal blog where you can see the Princess Photo Journal and our pictures on Picasa through the links. Go to: www.aboutcraigmattice.com. I would be happy to answer any questions you have about what's available for a Hawaiian cruises as I spent almost 2 full months researching all angles. I would be willing to share that information with you if you are interested.

Expensive is relative when you consider, as we did, it is a trip of a lifetime. It is best to compare several (5 minimum) agencies/agents who are professionally certified and cruise specialist certified. You would be amazed at the difference in costs.

I hope this is helpful to you.
