Any issues flying in Hawaiian Islands?

[Asset4air]

Hi, I wondered if anyone from the states could help me here. Next Easter I'm going on a cruise and part of it is the Hawaiian Islands. I would love to fly there but wondered if anyone knows of restrictions?
I don't need help re the cruise - have that down to a fine art now- I get on board.....I declare it, they seize it, I sign for it and they store it until each port day when they give it back. ( I keep the batteries to charge in the cabin).
I'm not too familiar with FAA regs so any help would be much appreciated re Hawaii. Thanks.

I've had a look. Forgot could search on Forecast!

They seize your drone? Which cruise line?

Princess Cruises. Drones are classed as prohibited items by a lot of cruise companies. They don't want them flying off the ship. Why would you????. They take them from you but store them and you get a receipt. Just collect on way off ship each time. I didn't mind really, one less bag in the cabin. I did keep batteries though to charge. Funniest part was looking at the prohibited last at end of trip and seeing there were several drones as well as Irons, a knife and a couple of swords!!!!

I was on a cruise recently. Had my Spark in my camera bag with the props off. I didn't make a big deal about it. I wasn't the "Look at me I have a drone guy" on the ship or in port. I got through security every single day I took it off the ship. I didn't advertise that I had it. If they had asked me I would have told them and followed their security procedures. The key is don't bring a giant case for the spark.

Yes this was on a line where it was a "Prohibited item". No I did not fly it off the ship.

I didn't advertise mine either. The first cruise I was getting on and off no problem up until about 4th day when they saw a shape they wanted to look at through x-ray. I have no interest in causing a scene in a gueue boarding the ship. Either way it's no real issue whether they take it or not. Unlike the stories I have heard before

I live in Hawai'i on O'ahu. I've been flying for about six months. Only restrictions I've come across are the normal air restrictions around airports and military bases. I double check the airspace drone maps before I leave the house if I'm going to fly somewhere new just to make sure I don't drive all the way there for nothing.

Thanks for that! Really useful. I will do all the checks, just wanted to ask in the hope someone was lucky enough to live there! Looking forward to it
