Review summary

Very relaxing. Great shipmate from all over the globe.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We were prepared, no worries. Good to stretch our legs after the flight from LAX.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Interesting food fare. Australian, Indonesian, British. The steakhouse was wonderful! Ship's coffee leave a lot to be desired. Did I say that the coffee needed help? No cream onboard.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Walk about on board. Meeting and talking to fellow cruisers. Play in the casino.

Entertainment

Did not participate.

Children's Programs

No children...

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Always a smile and a hello from the crew. They went a bit further to make sure that you were comfortable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We like smaller ships like the Luminosa. Biggest complaint was the ice and water dispensers. Crew was constantly scrubbing this and scrubbing that.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was located aft. Great room! Glass shower door, extra attention to decor. A little longer also. No problems here.

Ship tip

Explore... enjoy yourself.

Ports of call

Just where we boarded the ship.

Noumea, New Caledonia

4 out of 5
Rainy, but we explored anyway. Stopped by a French bakery for a good cup of coffee and a caramel eclair.

Suva, Fiji

4 out of 5
Hired a driver and sight seeing from the vehicle. We enjoyed Fiji.

Cross International Dateline

4 out of 5
Heck, the International Dateline was a snoozer. I think that you meant the Crossing of the Equator. There was a ceremony when crossing the Equator. We were initiated into Our Royal and Ancient Order of Shellbacks. Great fun!

Papeete, Tahiti

5 out of 5

Moorea, French Polynesia

5 out of 5

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
China Town, dim sum, Ala Moana Mall. Halekoa.

Seattle, Washington

5 out of 5
Not as bad as I thought that it might be. Went to 1st Starbucks for a coffee.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy-peasy.
