ALL ABOARD!!! 12 day Hawaiian Cruise $599 per person (May 8)

So we have to get to Vancouver ? witch means we have to pay extra money out of pokets how much will that add up?
 
Looks like you have to fly back out of Honolulu. Considering you spend the first 6 days at sea and then the next 5 in Hawaii you aren't ending back at Vancouver on a 12 day cruise. Nice ship and higher end cruise line too.

Usually cruises return to where they departed from.

The main reason for this is the Jones Act. It is illegal for a For a non US flagged vessel to carry cargo between two US ports, and a passenger is considered cargo. This is why this particular vessel departs Canada and terminates in Hawaii. A foreign flagged ship can return to the same departure port under the Jones act, but not to another port. The Jones Act is great for cargo in containers because we must protect the US shipping industry, but it is lame when it is applied to passenger vessels. A US flagged cruise line does not exist. We are protecting something that doesn't exist. Exempting passengers from the Jones Act would open many US ports to the financial gains that turism brings, and revitalize run down port areas.

Otherwise, this seems like a good deal. I'm gonna tell my parent of this deal.

Did I say that it did? Add another Five+ days to the trip and I am sure that it will. Five days at sea is teadious. Nobody has the time or patience to pay for a cruise that spends 10 days at sea. Market forces dictate that this ship does not return to Canada.
