The South Pacific holds an abundance of natural treasures and the islands of Hawaii and Tahiti are just two of their better-known jewels. From the legendary beauty of French Polynesia's Bora Bora to the lush Hawaiian landscape of Kauai and the pristine beaches of Tahiti, immerse yourself in the diverse, yet singular Polynesian culture and experience the warmth of the Aloha Spirit.
These lush tropical sanctuaries are the ideal places to relax, unwind and embrace "Island Time." Discover Hawaii and its South Pacific cousins.
A cruise to Australia, New Zealand, and/or the South Pacific can fulfill almost every exotic adventure that a serious traveler could dream. Cruises and cruisetours start at 14 nights long and sail seasonally between October and April. The beauty of these itineraries is that you can see as much of the South Pacific as you like in one cruise. For example, you might combine Tahiti with New Zealand, or New Zealand with Australia. This means you could begin or end your cruise in a variety of ports including Hawaii or ports in the Orient and Asia.
Please visit our website for more Hot Destination Ideas and great prices:http://cshettlesworth.cruiseone.com
An Australia/South Pacific Cruise can take you to many of these ports, depending upon your ship and sailing date. By the way, some of our Australia and South Pacific cruises may also visit Hawaii, so you may want to read a little bit more about it in our Hawaii section.
Brisbane, Australia
Perth, Australia
Adelaide, Australia
Sydney, Australia

Famous Destinations

More than 2000 miles from the nearest major land mass, the Hawaiian Islands form the most isolated group of islands in the world. Palm-fringed beaches, tropical sunsets, Polynesian luau's, glowing volcanoes . . . there's something for everyone in Hawaii.
Hawaiian cruises are the ultimate "island-hopping" adventures, affordably taking you from one tropical Hawaiian Island to another while experiencing the luxurious features of your cruise ship. 7-night Hawaiian Islands cruises are offered weekly by American Hawaii Cruises. However, most cruise lines offer 10 or 11 night Hawaiian Island cruises in April, September and October on the fringes of their Alaska seasons.
For more Info on destinations, visit: http://www.cruiseone.com/cshettlesworth
The 7-night cruises begin and end in Honolulu and visit a different port everyday, possibly including an overnight stay in some ports. The longer 10 & 11-night seasonal cruises are one way repositioning cruises to or from the North American Mainland or South Pacific and Far East.
Depending on your ship and itinerary, you will more than likely visit these ports:
Honolulu, Oahu
Nawililiwili, Kauai
Kahului, Maui
Hilo, Hawaii
Kona, Hawaii
Each of the islands in the Hawaiian chain has its own personality. Discover them all on your Hawaii cruise. From the Big Island and its active volcano to the lush Garden Isle of Kauai and the immaculate beaches of Maui, this cultural melting pot of peoples and ethnicities keeps the aloha spirit alive and well. The beauty of Hawaii can be seen not only in its lush greenery and beaches, but also in the smiles of its inhabitants.
Hawaiian Islands
Diamond Head
While in port in Honolulu, you can hike up to the crater's ridge for breathtaking panoramic views.
Kaneohe Bay
Protected by a barrier reef, this calm blue lagoon is ideal for both snorkelers and divers on our Hawaii cruise.
Kona (Kailua), Hawaii
Kona, the sunny side of the Big Island, is home to both world-class coffee plantations and golf courses, and you can enjoy both.
Maui, Hawaii
Upscale resorts with low profiles, gourmet restaurants and pristine beaches are plentiful on this Hawaii cruise’s port of call.
The longer cruises can begin or end in:
Vancouver, British Columbia
Acapulco, Mexico
Papeete, Tahiti
Los Angeles
San Diego
Whether you're taking a 4-wheel drive mountain adventure in Kauai; a helicopter ride over the Haleakala Crater in Maui; hiking on the active Kilauea Volcano in Hilo; snorkeling off the sunshine-bathed Gold Coast of Kona; or making a trip to the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, you will find a Hawaiian Cruise to be a trip of a lifetime.

The Renaissance of Falmouth, Jamaica

exquisitewep@yahoo.com
Falmouth, capital of Trelawny has great historical relevance, closely linked to the Sugar and Rum industry of the 17th and 18th centuries. Situated between Montego Bay (20 minute drive) and Ocho Rios (30 minutes), Falmouth is on her way to becoming the fourth Jamaican port, to make a huge contribution to the cruise industry. (The less-used Port Antonio on the eastern end of the island is the third). Tourist infrastructure is somewhat minimal -- a shopping and historical center, an 18th-century Anglican Church, Georgian-style plantation houses, spelunking adventures -- but the new port addition is expected to drive remarkable improvements. In centuries past, Falmouth has served both as a catalyst and a thriving gateway for the export of sugar and rum. It boasts what is believed to be the Caribbean’s largest collection of Classic Georgian buildings. For more information on the hottest spots in Jamaica and the rest of the world, contact us at:

The Port Authority of Jamaica has won government approval to build a Genesis-class cruise facility in Falmouth. The goal is to restructure and refashion the area into a Colonial Williamsburg of the Caribbean, i.e. a place where tourists can capture and recreate the experiences of the "English heritage" of eighteenth and nineteenth-century Jamaica (not too sure all will want to relive this). This project will have a significant impact on the Falmouth economy and vastly supercharge the local shopping center, which will channel their focus on arts and crafts.
When Oasis of the Seas begins sailing its Western Caribbean route in spring 2010, the Jamaican port -- Falmouth -- will be ready to accommodate the massive 220,000-ton 5,400-passenger mega-liner. Royal Caribbean is working in conjunction with the Jamaican government on the multi-million dollar revitalization project.
According to The Port Authority of Jamaica estimates the waterside infrastructure investment will cost in excess of $100m. The pier is poised and well positioned to become fully operational in August 2009 and will be open to all lines.
The cruise terminal and shops will be ‘completely themed on the Georgian architecture. The historic area surrounding the port will be totally rehabilitated and restructured with improved additions and new ideas, including horse carriage rides and other greatly anticipated attractions.
Many people optimistically believe that the development of Falmouth has given ‘a kick start in revitalizing the industry’s view of Jamaica. A new port will reignite and revive the world wide appeal and recreational interest in Jamaica as a whole.

Why hire a Travel or Honeymoon Specialists when you can do it yourself!!!!
Travel Specialists assist travelers sort through vast amounts of information to help them determine the best possible travel arrangements. They offer advice on destinations such as the weather conditions, local ordinances and customs, attractions, and exhibitions and make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rentals, and tours for their clients. They are also the primary source of bookings for most of the major cruise lines. In addition, resorts and specialty travel groups utilise travel specialists to promote cost effective packages to their clients. For those traveling internationally, specialists also provide information on customs regulations, required documents (passports, visas, and certificates of vaccination), travel advisories, and currency exchange rates. In the event of changes in their itinerary whether it is in the middle of a trip, or any such eventuality, travel specialists intercede on the traveler’s behalf to make alternate booking arrangements.
For more info on the ideal places to visit please email us at: cshettlesworth@cruiseone.com or visit us at: www.cruiseone.com/cshettlesworth
Travel agents make use of a variety of published and computer-based sources for information on departure and arrival times, fares, quality of hotel accommodations, and group discounts. They may also make prearranged visits to hotels, resorts, and restaurants themselves to evaluate the comfort, cleanliness, and the quality of specific hotels and restaurants so that they can base recommendations on their own experiences or those of colleagues or clients.
Specialists are increasingly facing competition from travel and airline websites for low-cost fares, but travelers still prefer using travel Specialists who can provide the personal customized touch through planning for complex itineraries to remote or multiple destinations.
Travel Specialists spend most of their time behind a desk conferring with clients, completing paperwork, contacting airlines and hotels to make travel arrangements, and promoting tours. Most of their time is spent either on the telephone or on the computer researching travel itineraries or updating reservations and travel documents. They may be under a great deal of pressure during travel emergencies or when they need to reschedule missed reservations. Peak vacation times, such as summer and holiday travel periods, also tend to be hectic.

Dogs and Travel

The kennel is a genuinely useful service but only dogs and cats are allowed - no parrots or pot-bellied pigs. My question is, would the animals get seasick like humans do? I imagine some of them do.
Those pets who do get left at home do not, however, have to miss out on the cruise experience. One of the onboard shops sells branded leads, collars, doggie overcoats in three sizes and china dog bowls.

Shoes Throwing
Mr . Bush has taken things more lightly than I have and I have to say that I do not think he understands the implications of this.
The fact that I am still in shock is not only because he seems to be so cavalier about this but also because the world has no common respect for each other starting with the war.
