My commercial was for Viking cruises.

Luau's are tourist traps. I recommend going to restaurants off the beaten path to get a better taste of local food.

Good Morning, wishing you a Super Sunday

Can Malaysians book directly with Viva Cruises ?

dont miss the great gay bars on your next trip. easy to spend 4 hours and have a super time

I’ve spent more in Murfreesboro, TN than that & we don’t drink alcohol.

I lived on Oahu, why would you stay in the Tourist trap known as Waikiki...if you wanted real authentic food and see the best beaches on Oahu you go to The North Shore such as Sunset Beach...that is a beach not Waikiki....

We spend Much more you did a Great Job and it sounds like you got a Fantastic Deal on the Hotel.

The hotel for my nephew's wedding in very not-exotic Rockaway, NJ is $263 a night so yeah, the hotel rate is pretty darned good for Hawaii! And really, the food prices don't seem outrageous, either, especially for Hawaii. I'd say y'all did really well.

I would definitely love to take this trip and also do the cruise! You made some great memories!❤

Morgan, I have been wanting to mention to you, your hair is looking great!

"It should not be $30 for two acai bowls" Me looking at my Uber eats receipt

That seems really reasonable. Your Hawaii videos make me want to go there, but I'm so conflicted with the colonialism political issues!

Thanks Morgan great video looking forward to the tubing video.

I agree loud people are obnoxious. You owe no apologies to anyone

Thanks...I was in Hawaii for two weeks prior to my cruise last year on Celebrity. I went with my husband. In September I am going back t Waikiki to spend three days before my cruise to Australia. This one I am doing solo...should be fun..

Booked 2 months in advance a return ticket Toronto to Delhi, they canceled 5 days before the flight. Say away from LOT.

Thank you for this detailed breakdown! All I ever hear is "oh my gosh Hawaii is so expensive," but you never hear what the prices actually are. 😊 I think you did a great job of treating yourselves but not going overboard.

Alot cheaper than I thought it would be

My Dad who wasn't much of a traveller, loved Waikiki because "it was just like home"...meaning they drove on the same side, money was the same, food was "normal"...

Congratulations on hitting 70K...

This was a great video. Hawaii is on my bucket list. I definitely thought the total would be much higher. While yes, the prices are a little higher than other places, this video made me think it is definitely doable if you budget accordingly. Kind of like going to Disney, you know every is going to cost a little extra.

My budget would not allow for this. We have an upcoming Hawaii cruise on Princess and the shore excursions are more expensive than the Caribbean.

Piublic buses from the airport don’t take you to your hotel, so a cab or uber/lyft is always a good idea on a first visit

Great information. Congratulations on the 70K!!

Yes it is very expensive in Waikiki. We rented an appartement that was good, but supermarkt prices were so high like 10 dollars for bread, 14 dollars for 10 eggs. If you drive a little further away it gets cheaper also for restaurants that are not on the main street or in the food courts. Had to pay 30 dollars for 2 burgers at Burger King on the main street and they were horrible. Did you had a Hula pie? We had a big one at Hula Grill and they also offered good Mexican food. Lahaina Shave ice was very tasty for us.

You did well, about what I spent 16 years ago with a week there with my 12 year old grandson. Our hotel was in the same area, we too went to Pearl Harbor. However rather than a luau, we did the VIP day at the Cultural Village (money well spent). Also took a tour bus to another location on the island known for its snorkeling . ABC was a budget saver, even bought a boogie board there. 😂 Ate far more than our share of shave ice, would suggest the mango with milk. I know it sounds strange, but is delicious. Spent a fair amount of time and money at the international market, 12 year old boys eat a lot! I enjoyed my share of the local adult drinks. After all of this we took a quick flight to the big island and spent a week there. Took a helicopter tour, hired a boat to take us up to the lava flow and did every legal thing there was to do at the volcano. Hawaii is definitely worth the money! BTW the year before that trip I did a solo trip much like yours and did the 7 day NCL cruise.

I think it was a great budget for this time in Waikiki,,,and you did so much right in the middle of it!!

You should try "Banan Waikiki Shore - Fort Derussy" for the shave ice. It was excellent. We had the strawberry coconut ( it was of course strawberry and coconut bit also pineapple...) and it was set on banana ice cream (made with only bananas)

Loved this video. Brought back fond memories. We stayed at Moana Surfrider and ate breakfast mostly at Dukes. I love Spam so would have enjoyed the Spam Jam. Was amazed how many ABC stores there were in close proximity.

We were in Maui last summer - food is very expensive.

I bought a resale timeshare to save on Waikiki, so can stay 10 nights for about $1,500. With a kitchen, we can buy food from Costco or Target. We actually spend half the trip in Kona, then switch to Waikiki, using airline miles for all flights involved. Our favorite place is a block or two away from the International Marketplace, a big hit for dinner (and Japanese snacks).

That’s not too bad , before our cruise last year to Alaska, we stayed at the Old Fairmont in Vancover for 4 days hotel it was 2400 Australian dlrs it did include breakfast thank goodness by the time we did sightseeing eating lunch dinner it did raise substantially but we did do things that we probably won’t get to do again , travelling from Australia is so expensive that trip for just two weeks was over 15thousand Aust dlrs, , but I don’t regret any of it it was truly spectacular🇦🇺🇦🇺 but that was a good insight if we do a relocation cruise from Hawaii to Sydney which is a bucket list trip hopefully this year in October

Go to the Polynesian Center and buy a ticket that includes the buffett/luau Learn about all thr Polynesian countries & culture then the luau. Look for coupons or discounts.

I keep all receipts for any expenditures because I love knowing what I've spent to the penny. Bookkeeping is my career and my jam 😂

Don't do the Food Court way overpriced. Look for Local places to eat ( much less costlt). 7-11 stores are a great option for tasty food at a reasonable price. Also Foodland has some really great deals like Poke bowls for $8.99;( top notch) and a buffett.

Take the Metro Bus into Waikiki for $3 unless you have a ton of luggage. Honolulu's bus system is one of the best in the world. Weekly passes are $7 unlimited. Bus is fine from the airport.

As an Aussie with our current crappy exchange rate its frightening! lol! We're there for a cruise from Hawaii to Australia in Oct 2025.

That shave ice looked like the kind you get in Japan. Only half the size, LOL

Congratulations on 70K Morgan.

Have you heard of French company CroisiEurope who also do river cruises at a budget friendly price? It might be worth reviewing them too.

That same luau used to be 89.95 for adults and 59.95 for kids when my daughters family lived there 10 years ago. And they got a military discount, which made it even less expensive. And there was a roasted pig in the ground and an endless Buffett of sides. You didn’t include the price of your flight to get there.

Great video, yes , Hawaii has always been very expensive, we went for the first time in 1983, spent a week in Waikiki and another week in Maui, fell in love with Maui , have been back a few times, has always been very expensive!!!

Got that 70k subs! Just 30k More till that 100k.. Oh and seeing how much a land vacation cost now makes me love cruising even more! Just the price of food alone at any tourist location makes me sad.

Not "if", but when you and Marcus come back to Honolulu, hit me up! I will take you guys around to some amazing places you won't get to see as tourists! When you come back to Waikiki, check out Royal Lobster in the heart of Waikiki. If you love lobster rolls, this is the place! The owner flies fresh lobster in daily from Maine. They only have 2 things on their menu - lobster roll and lobster Cobb salad, and when he runs out, he closes shop. IT IS SO GOOD!! For food in Waikiki, we locals like to hang out Giovanni Pastrami for Happy Hour - their Korean KFC deep fried cauliflower is superb! We also go to ABC Stores for Dole Whip. We live here on Oahu but love to go to Waikiki for a special treat now and then. As far as the prices go, I work on the other side of the island and pay $13 for Tofu Poke Bowl (I'm vegetarian), so the prices of food are expensive in Hawaii. It's better if you get a kitchenette and cook things yourself if you stay longer. Just head to your local Safeway and pick up some poke, avocado, green onions, sauce and make your own bowl. Another thing not to miss is the USS Mighty Mo (Missouri). I've never been a history lover but I've been on this ship and followed the tourists and listened in, and I wish I paid for the tour, it was fascinating! Glad you all had a (somewhat) good time in Honolulu (without the thug family drama of course). I wanted to go to Spam Jam but got lazy and stayed home. Wish I would have went, I may have seen you all down there!

Spent $7.50 on a loaf of bread in an ABC store in Waikiki in Feb 2024.

Yes so great that you mentioned Ravenna is very far from Venice and that transportation needs to be carefully planned! I noticed this when I was planning my upcoming royal Caribbean Greek isles cruise in September. However the cultural delights in Venice outweigh the downfall of the Ravenna port; and thus is not really that bad of a port…RCI did alert us guests about the need to plan transfers and while it is an extra expense, it is a pretty overt and manageable inconvenience!

It's really sad that you have to defend yourself from a bunch of online trolls calling you a complainer and asshat parents raising the next generation of thugs.
