Hawaiian Radiance: Maui

on
October 10, 2025

Good morning! We have a 10am arrival in Maui so I have a few hours on the ship this morning. 
When we get to Maui my plan is to take a Uber or Lyft to the Iao Valley State Monument. Then return to the ship in time to get ready…

Hawaiian Radiance: Day 5

on
September 29, 2025

Good morning from the Carnival Radiance coffee line. It feels like it gets longer every day. It was 20 people yesterday. It’s 25 today at 7:30am.

The atrium bar is the alternative coffee location but it doesn’t open until 8am.

The pool is out of service again.

This is the first time…

Hawaiian Radiance: Day 4

on
September 22, 2025

Good morning! I got eight hours of sleep. I really needed it. The wall is still making a constant noise. I either got used to it or was too tired for it to matter last night. I know this is an old ship but those are not old walls….

I stopped by the room to drop off my bags. It’s close but not ready yet.

My room is just behind the…

Hawaiian Radiance: Embarkation

on
August 29, 2025

I stayed at the Long Beach Hilton last night. They offer a free shuttle to the port but it was looking like it was going to be at least a half hour wait based on the number of people in line for the shuttle. I took a Lyft instead…

Hawaiian Radiance: Planning

on
August 15, 2025

Booking
As I approached my 25th milestone cruise with Carnival, I started planning for my milestone cruise credit which gives you 25% of the cost of the cruise as onboard credit. I wanted that to be an expensive cruise to maximize the onboard credit benefit. Hawaii immediately came to mind.
