Well...
I looked into it. I figured at the time I could take the boat to Oahu or back to the big island for a cool trip on a boat. But.....After doing research about it...
You must board On Oahu... And well, if you decided to just come back to the big island and get off than you would miss 1/3 of your trip.
So basically you must board and return on Oahu than you have to add in R/T airline tickets on Hawaiian so if you're already paying 5K what's another 500 bucks in airfare. I am sure there are kamaaina discounts if you have a hawaiian drivers license.
Anyway I was disgusted with the entire process and gave up. I think if you charted someone with a fairly good size sailboat you'd have way more fun as these "cruise" ships are geared more for Oahu residents.
