When you go to Hawaii, it is an incredible vacation destination packed with pristine beaches, lush tropical rain forests, gorgeous waterfalls and spectacular volcanoes. For the average person, planning an unforgettable Hawaiian vacation can be a challenge since there is so much to see and so little time to see it on their one or two week vacation. For that reason and others, Hawaiian cruises have become one of the more popular Hawaii vacations, especially for those who have not yet experienced the islands.

We have outlined some of the pros and cons that you should consider in order to help you decide whether or not a cruise is the best choice for your Hawaiian vacation.

Pros.

Cruises take all of the hard work out of planning for your Hawaii vacations. As with all cruises, planning meals, entertainment, and logistics become somebody else's concern- not yours! Getting yourself to the ship is the only thing that you have to worry about.

One of the most time-efficient and cost-effective ways to explore all of the major islands in one trip is a cruise. Most cruise companies make sure that at least three islands are built into your cruise itinerary. You get to save valuable beach time as well as the airfare you would have spent to fly between islands since the ship generally travels while you are asleep.

Hawaii cruise vacations ensure that you'll get the opportunity to sample the local cuisine and participate in a traditional Hawaiian Luau. To most Hawaiian cruises, the downside is that you eat the majority of your meals on the boat.

Generally, nightlife on Hawaiian cruises tends to trump the quiet scene onshore. If you just like to live it up at night or if you are bringing the kids, then a cruise could be the way to go.

Here are the cons.

When you go sightseeing on cruise ships, it is limited to the time you spend on shore each day. At least a full day trip is required at some of the best sight seeing which, most of the time, is not possible from cruise ship.

Although Hawaii is beautiful, its ports unfortunately are not. In case first impressions tend to color your impression of a place, then it might be a good idea to avoid a cruise on your Hawaii vacations.

You will miss out on some of Hawaii's great dining options if you go on a cruise. Not to mention that food on most Hawaiian cruises is not too shabby.

Now that you've got some of the pros and cons behind taking a cruise for future Hawaii vacations, you can choose whether or night a Hawaiian cruise would give you the best Hawaiian vacation experience.

Here's what we suggest you do.

Whether or not you're a first timer to the islands, combine a cruise package with a few nights on land. By doing this, you will be able to experience the best of both worlds with your Hawaii vacations.
