FAQ
Q. Will I be back in time before my ship departs from the pier?
A. Yes. Shore Excursions Tours are created specifically to cater to popular tours for cruise line passengers and designed around your cruise ship’s itinerary. For most of the Shore Excursions, the driver will pick you up from the pier and return you to the pier before your ship leaves the dock. All you need to do is book the tour and look for the Roberts Hawaii Staff when you arrive at the pier.
Q. What if the cruise ship changed the port and we missed the port.
A. If the cruise ship’s itinerary changes for any reason (i.e. force majeure, weather cancellations), you will be provided a full refund for the specific tour that was missed.
