Polynesian Cast

My wife and I had our picture taken with two members of the Matagi Polynesian Cast after their second show. This group of dancers performed three shows during the cruise. The second was in the evening after we had spent the day on Fanning Island.

The cast is made up of three men and four ladies. They presented native dances from the various islands of the Pacific, with several costume changes during each show. Each show was different and each show was entertaining.

The day after leaving Fanning Island, we learned that one of the four engines on the ship had broken down. Because of this, the speed of the ship dropped from 20 to 15 knots. As a result, the Capitan was forced to change our itinerary. Rather than going to Nawiliwili, we were going to Kona. Then because we could not get into the Nawiliwili port on Friday, we ended up staying in Lahaina for two days.

When things like this happen on vacation, you should just adjust. Complaining does not change circumstances. Many times in my travels, events occur that change my plans.
