The Aloha Tower
In its heyday, 10-story Aloha Tower was the tallest structure in all of Hawaii. And even though it’s now dwarfed by downtown Honolulu’s small jungle of office buildings, the tower still stands tall as one of the state’s most recognizable symbols of Hawaiian hospitality.
The tower was built in 1926 as a fitting welcome for the boatloads of tourists arriving at Honolulu Harbor.
In the 1920s and ’30s, passenger arrivals, dubbed "Boat Days," were lively celebrations that often involved the entire community. Many locals even left work early to take part in the festivities.
Security Was Tight!
Security is serious business these days as the QM2 was guarded the entire time we were in port. Our table in the Princess Grill as seen through the glass.
Diamond head through our veranda and what did we see the minute we got off the ship? Sue's Grill!
