## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- The Star of Honolulu does not sail from Waikiki and Pier 8 is not a walk from Waikiki Beach: it is in downtown Honolulu,
  about 15 minutes away by road.
- The buffet cruise does not include lobster; lobster and steak are the served Three Star and Nova tiers on the same ship.
- Hotel pickup is not included in the buffet cruise ticket; it is sold separately by the operator.
- The Friday fireworks are an opportunity, not a guarantee; weather and sea conditions decide.
