our Pride of America, Hawaii cruise is confirmed

An email of confirmation just came for our Hawaii cruise in December on the Pride of America. After much consideration, I have decided to book an oceanview balcony cabin for our family instead of the family suite which double of the stateroom. Since I’m determined to stay in an oceanfront accommodation in Waikiki, I’m happy to save some money on the cruise. For those of you who have been to Honolulu, you know that Waikiki oceanfront accommodation can be exorbitant in their rates. Actually, many travelers especially those traveling in big groups can save by staying in a Hawaii rental house. Many of these rental homes are oceanfront or situated in locations with mountain or delightful garden views. From the Hawaii Travel Info, you can read about the reviews of some of these properties, located in different islands, whether it’s in Maui, Big Island, Hilo or Kauai. But a vacation home may be too costly or spacious if you are traveling as a couple or a small family, unless it’s a condo. I’m more or less narrowed down my searches for our Waikiki accommodation. Let me go work on the budget first
