Humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

Part III.

I almost didn't do this, but I figured might as well since I already mentioned it in the previous post. I'll try and just account for major things happening.

I went with my dad, his girlfriend, and my sister(yes, i have a sister). The first day nothing really happened other than the cruise ship misplaced my dad's luggage but was found later that night. It's a good thing that happened cause it gave my dad a chance to talk to staff about setting something up to propose to his girlfriend, Vivian on board the ship.

The next day we were on one of the islands went to an aquarium, at first I wasn't really stoked on it. I thought that's nothing new, I could go to an aquarium back home. As we started walking through it, no two aquariums are the exact same and I enjoyed myself and bought my first souvenir for my cousin there! This night was THEE night. After I did multiple talks with the Assistant Cruise Director, Tim on the phone it was all set! This was a first for the cruise they were just as excited as we were.

The proposal went down like this. The theater on the ship was having a show about all the different Hawaiian dances on the islands. Near the end of the show they ask for volunteers, that's where we rigged it so they would pick my dad ask him who he came with and call Vivian up on stage. He sang part of a song to her that he always sings to her, then got down on one knee and popped the question. It was so awesome to see my dad so freakin' nervous haha. She said yes by the way :) After that the whole cruise either witnessed or heard about it and we were well known on the ship. This was all caught on video by the way. I also got pulled up on stage very awkward indeed.

Excursions we did was watching the sunrise (got up 3am their time) it was beautiful and well worth it. Okay wait, side track story! My sister, Alex and I were in this room all by ourselves looking at the sunrise so I started playing some Nick Swardson (stand up comedian). Needless to say, right when a bunch of people walked in his joke loudly said, "Suck this dick motherfucker!" I found it funny, my dad not so much.
Other excursions were kayaking, horrible experience, and snorkeling my favorite by far. We took a small tour on one of the islands and that was also a favorite cause it wasn't affected by tourists it was really all local oriented.

This cruise was amazing, I haven't felt that happy and myself in a really long time. I enjoyed the trivia games of Golden Girls, Friends, and SHOUT OUT THAT MOVIE which I'm really good at. I think I made passengers laugh along the way and that felt great. They had an intense dodgeball tournament and great entertainment every night. I loved this cruise so much I will be applying for it tomorrow wish me luck.

P.s. I just remembered, I sang "I Will Survive," on the stage in front of the whole pool deck. Also was hit on by a 14 or 15 year old aussie boy with emo hair, braces, and was into hip hop. FOOD WAS AMAZING.

Thanks for reading! <3
