There's a little pub called the Pioneer Inn right on the waterfront by where you got on your submarine, right by the Banyan Tree, did ya happen to stop in there for lunch or refreshment? A really nice wooden bar from alot a years ago. Lahaina is a very laid back little town with lots of local color. Gets a bit busy though when the big ships come to town.........
There is only one large cruise ship now.... NCL's Pride of America. The economy got the others. We were there on Sunday... the next big day is , OK!, you guessed it... next Sunday. (Hilo was on Monday and so on)
Many of the people in the tourist industry only have work that one day per week. We always "tip" well... many of the other tourists didn't tip at all.
The Pride of America carries more than 2000 passengers and more than 900 crew.
I don't think that we saw anyone buy anything from the artists under the "Worlds Largest" banyon tree.
When we had meals away from the ship we tried to have something as different as possible from the fantastic ship food.
For example: One evening we went to a very nice Lu'au (as a shore excursion). The show was very good... the food wasn't as good as we got at the buffet on the ship.
