Review summary

Overall we enjoyed being with friends while visiting Hawaii. The cruise was just okay. The food wasn't particularly special. On one occasion there was a pig being carved but the pork that was being served was cut from pork loins previously cooked. The shave ice machine was not working when we looked for it and the ice cream machine was not working for a while.

This was a nice stop but the excursion seemed drawn out. The large group/bus made this boring. We visited 2 stores which were similar. We felt that we could have explored better on our own
