Excursion dilemma

Just a note to the other 5 couples joining us:
You need to sign on to http://www.royalcaribbean.com/ and fill in your seapass information.

https://secure.royalcaribbean.com/mycruises/login.do;jsessionid=0000P7Eatia2zi3E7n6BB9kN4Kh:12hbiocus?cS=MHDR

and, if you haven't already done so, you'll need to create a member login account. You can do this by clicking on the 'create a My Cruises Account.

You may also have to specify your cruise reservation number in order to be able to find where you enter the sea pass. If you're having any trouble, give me a call and I'll walk you through it. You know where to call me...

In addition, in case you're thinking of renting a car: During my searches (and you know I've been doing a lot of that :), I've discovered several warnings about reserving a car BEFORE you get there. Let's face it. You don't want to get there and find out that all the cars are rented...

And don't forget to indicate your correct country of residence. I couldn't believe it but it made a difference.

Well, Pride of Maui has just informed me we can't get on an excursion on October 6th. Funny, it's the same message I received from Fair Winds II a couple of months ago. Something smells fishy...

Anyhow, I have my eyes peeled on another potential excursion that starts at 7:30 right from lahaina port - so we don't have to worry about a drive since it departs from the port of Lahaina. Drop by http://www.islandstarexcursions.com/rafting.html I found it on the Hawaii goldcard site. But since I've had bad luck trying to book anything on October 6th, I'm waiting for an email back from them. It leaves from the Lahaina port at 7:30.

I initially had my eye on this website http://www.bluewaterrafting.com/ it appears to be a very awesome choice except that we'd have to be off the boat before 6:00 am in order to make it to checkin at 6:30. I know I wouldn't have a problem but hubby and the tenders might...

If there isn't any availability for excursions, I have a map of some neat beaches and snorkeling sites that we can drive around and check out. Yes, some of them indicate hiking could be involved so if you don't want to get wet, you don't need to.
