...best to choose? Going to fly to the big island and start the 4 or 5 day Hawaiian cruise there. We also want to renew our wedding vows. A promise I made to her 35 years ago. Would be wonderful if we can find a place where a beautiful waterfall is in front or behind of us. Has anyone any suggestions as to which Island this place would be? Also which Cruise Ship would be the best to sail around all the other smaller Islands?

Norwegian Cruise Lines is the main cruiseline operating out of Honolulu and Maui, and they stop at all of the islands. I don't believe any start on the big island, although I know they do stop there. Look online for Regal Travel and Nonstop travel - those two travel agencies sell tickets for the cruiselines. There are two lines - the Norwegian Wind - a 10 day cruise to all the islands and one island south of Hawaii - so you will need your passport. The other ship is the Pride of America (or pride of aloha - sometimes it changes) - that is a 7 day cruise, and only operates between the islands, so you don't need your passport. The Pride of Hawaii should be starting soon as well. Check http://www.ncl.com for details.
