Your thoughts re aulani stay/cruise

[eeyorefanuk]

Thinking of booking few nights at aulani before getting cruise from honolulu

If I want to stay three nights and the cruise is 17th would YOU get there very early on 13th for three nights so get four full days there, then on 16th check in to hotel closer to port? Or just stay three nights from 14th and not have much last day there as go to port early?

(How early can I arrive at aulani and use facilities even if cannot check in to room)

Thanks for reading )

You can begin using the facilities at Aulani as soon as you check in, even if that's 8am. Your room might not be ready then but you can use the other facilities.

Also, I wouldn't worry about moving to a hotel near the port for the night before the cruise. Aulani isn't really a long ride to the ship so why not stay that night too and get some extra Aulani time?

We are booked at Aulani from the 12th-17th before our cruise.
We booked transportation thru DCL to get to the port from Aulani, it was $40 each.
