Regarding tour 736-669, are we able to take our luggage on the bus when picked up from the pier? Also, how close is the Aloha Marketplace from where the Pride of America docks at port? Finally , is there guarantee ticket entry to the Arizona memorial? Thanks

I am sorry you will not be able to take your luggage because they use mini buses on this tour & they are to small. So you will need to leave your luggage at the hotel. The ticket will guarantee entrance to Arizona Memorial. Lastly, in order to answer your other question we would need to know if you are Flying inn or arriving by boat.
