Hawaii Cruise Reviews

Loved this cruise.. 6 wonderful days at sea and cruising around Hawaii the first 4 days. Suite class absolutely amazing, as was coastal kitchen, the specialty restaurants and spa

We were not happy on this cruise, just wanted to leave the ship

Great way to see and experience Hawaii, but I would choose a different cruise line if possible. We were disappointed with NCL and it this was our 1st cruise with them, it would definitely be the last.

This is a good way to see a little bit of each island

If you want to visit and see some highlights of all the islands this is a great way to do it. Approaching from the sea is lovely. The cruise is fine but not spectacular. For the price it should be better. But it is Hawaii!!

Hawaii was beautiful. Liked this itinerary because it sailed right from Honolulu. Although the ship had mechanical issues they did make our day at sea nice by traveling the coastlines to see the views.

Amazing time! Carnival can’t control the “outside” weather but provided excellent activities and performances to keep us entertained “inside”.

This was our first cruise on Holland America Lines and we very much enjoyed it. We chose the cruise for the eclipse, but Hawaii was a great bonus. HAL has a nice product, though perhaps a little laid back for the more energetic traveler.

While the ship staff was amazing, the service desk and general lack of communication from Princess make it highly unlikely that we would sail with Princess again.

Did enjoy the cruise . Enjoyed the days at sea. Food was awesome. Was disappointed that we did not see the Hawaiian islands because we sailed at night and woke up to “ports” . I was so looking forward to sketching the islands as we sailed as I did going by Mexico.

The cruise itinerary was good. but going in April this year was not good. I was planning to use the pool with sun on sea days, but weather did not cooperate. A nice older ship with excellent staff.

Great cruise as long as you realize it's 16 nights and the age average is around 65 so activities and entertainment seemed to be set up mostly around this age group.

Most of the excursions were interesting. Two were just “where can we drive you before we bring you back to boat”. Total waste of days in Hawaii. The extra treats put in our room was a very nice touch. But the fact that service people were trying to get into our room after 8pm was bothersome.

Did it once, good time however airfare to get there from mainland costs more than cruise! If I lived there would do it again maybe

Excellent trip and a great way to see most of the top Hawaiian attractions.

Only advantage was that it was Hawaii. Everyone was nice on board. Everyone tried to accommodate you in a timely manner. Food at sit down restaurants were not up to par with other cruises.

Frequent cruisers, first time on Princess. Medallions work better than sea pass cards. Lots of variety on meals and snacks. Easy access USB ports, power outlets and light switches. Laundromats inaccessible for us.

Overall, our advisors provided excellent coordination of primary trip activities on the cruise ship, transportation to and from airport, etc. In spite of a few confusing communication moments, they successfully navigated a trip of 78 travelers with everyone able to participate and complete safe travel to and from destination.

Unfortunately we got sick with cold on the second day of our cruise, ( too many people were coughing and sneezing) we stayed in our cabin for most of the cruise.
