Pride of Hawai'i Inaugural Voyage, May/June 2006 -- Kaua'i
Picture
Our first Hawaiian stop was Nawiliwili harbor on the island of Kaua'i. The "Garden Isle" is truly beautiful, and offers the very spectacular Na Pali coastline to cruisers on the NCL ships.
The ship was only in port for one long day and overnight. We had to leave to allow the Pride of Aloha to move into the single berth at Nawiliwili on her regular inter-island run. Many of the crew on the Pride of Hawai'i had previously worked on the Aloha and felt a lot of nostalgia for their time on that lovely ship. They even sang a song from the Aloha as she sailed past us into Kaua'i.
This was the first time we saw some port security. The Coast Guard was out to make sure our first stop was safe. After an overnight stay, our second day in Kaua'i was spent cruising the spectacular Na Pali coast, which has its own interactive photo gallery.
