We made a cruise excursion mistake in Waikiki — and we're telling you about it so you don't do the same thing! Join Terry and Lidia for our Honolulu day on our 16-night Hawaii cruise, where we share an honest lesson about ship excursions AND take you on a wonderful walk through one of the world's most beautiful destinations. Here's what happened: we paid for an official cruise ship excursion that turned out to be nothing more than a simple shuttle pickup at the ship and a drop-off in Waikiki — with a return pickup later. We could have arranged our own transportation for a fraction of the cost. It's one of those cruise mistakes to avoid, and we want to save you the money!But the day itself? Absolutely beautiful. Here's what we explored: 🚌 The overpriced ship excursion — and exactly what we'd do instead 🌺 Walking through the heart of Waikiki 🦁 The Honolulu Zoo — a hidden gem right in Waikiki 🌊 A beautiful stroll along Waikiki Beach soaking up the sights and sounds of HonoluluThis was one of four island stops on our 16-night roundtrip cruise from Long Beach, California.
