Post deployment honeymoon

Aloha all,

My wife and I will be spending our honeymoon on Kaanapali in May, and I%26#39;ve been researching various things that would be appealing to us. We originally wanted to attend a dinner cruise, but ruled that out shortly after doing a couple of searches through this forum. Our question is for the cocktail cruises, are they similar in that they are crowded and not worth the money, or are they a pretty good deal. Also, if there are some that are recommended, do any leave from the Kaanapali beach area.

At this point we%26#39;re willing to put up with anything that is less than perfect due to our extensive seperation. I am currently on deployment in Africa and our honeymoon was originally planned for last August, but the activation was a day prior to the wedding, so needless to say, we%26#39;re having to plan it for May, after I return. We will be staying in my parents Condo at the Marriott and since the Marriott Luau has been discontinued, what could be recommended. Also we would prefer something on Kaanapali, as we will want to enjoy spirits and not worry about driving. This will be my 3rd time to HI, but my wifes first, so I would love for it to be special. Thanks to all,

Semper Fi

Jon

You will love the Marriott right on Kaanapali. Make sure and let them know ahead of time that it is your honeymoon. I would call the front desk.

We like the Hyatt Luau. It is right next door so you can walk home!

We%26#39;ve seen many sunset sails that come in right by Whaler%26#39;s Village. It looks like a lot of fun.

Enjoy your honeymoon!

Thanks Mauidreamr, I appreciate your help.

Old Lahaina Luau. Definitely. Good food, reasonbly strong drinks, and authentic dancing.

While the Old Lahaina Luau is something you probably only want to do once (how many times can you see that show, for crying out loud?) you must do it at least once!

If you%26#39;re under 40 pick the traditional seating. You sit on comfortable cushions. But it gets you down by the stage, and away from the clutter of people.

I thought the pig was a bit dry ... really, I didn%26#39;t get what was so special about pork cooked in sand. But it%26#39;s the show you%26#39;re there for, not the food. You won%26#39;t be completely disappointed in either.

If you two kids are looking for someplace cozy to ... you know ... reacquaint yourselves? ... check out some of the ';scenic lookouts'; on the way to Lahaina. Catch it at the right time of day when the traffic is low, and you can find a sunny hillside with no one around but the whales in the distance, and a perfect view of Lanai.
