Disney adds 2nd L.A.-to-Hawaii cruise next year

[September 24, 2011]  HONOLULU (AP) -- Disney is sailing a second cruise to Hawaii next year.

The first cruise is due to leave Los Angeles on April 29 and last 15 days. The ship will visit Maui, Kauai, Oahu and Hilo on the Big Island. The trip also includes a stop in Ensenada, Mexico.

The second cruise stops in the same places but lasts 14 nights. It leaves Los Angeles on Oct. 14.

Disney Cruise Line said Thursday it added the second cruise after receiving an "overwhelming response" to the first. President Karl Holz says it's clear guests want more options to visit Hawaii.

The company says rates start at $1,800 per person for a standard inside stateroom, based on double occupancy.
