Hawaiian cruise

My mum and Dad are looking to go on a cruise around Hawaii in October. Not being internet savvy they have asked me to search the web to see if there is anyone that does better deals than the high street. Anyone have any sites like expedia that do cruises? Do expedia do cruises? I have looked on their site and couldnt see anything.

Most grateful for any help anyone can give. My mum says any time in October is fine and she wants to go for 14 nights with the cruise being from 10-14 nights. the only condition is my Dad wants to get to see Pearl Harbour.

Thanks in advance...

    There are a few places on the web which you contact for a price on cruises, other poeple will add websites, but we booked with BOLSOVER CRUISE CLUB but I know a couple of people who say that they are not competitive anymore but it will be worth doing to get a "base" price which you can aim for and see how that compares to the "high street".

    Hawaii is such a long way, but it is worth every penny, the scenery is lovely, they will really enjoy it.

    I must agree Pearl Harbour is a must for anyone. We are not really into museums, galleries etc but we both really enjoyed it. It was really informative and the Arizona Memorial is really touching and eary. We thought we would be there a couple of hours but it turned into a full day of looking round. They must go onto the USS Missouri next door, which was unbelievable. Your dad will really enjoy it.

    I suspect the cruise will run tours from the ship but there will obviously be a time limit on how long they will be there, I am wondering wether catching a taxi from the harbour to the boat and back again would be better as then they can come and go as they please without "clock watching" all day.

    Hope you get a better price and tell your parents they will love it.
