Review summary

It was more than we even hoped for...lots of sea days so be prepared...Lee Mason Cruise Director has to be tve best ever...Splendor is a very nise ship..even though it was sold out cruise there never seemed to be any long lines..the food is also very good...and all the staff were helpful...Ubers were available at each port in Hawaii and were very dependable and each driver we got was pleasant and helpful..Embarkation and debarkation in Long Beach was easy and fast.

The trip to Hawaii is always great ! And Lee is also great . The four days at sea is a long voyage but worth it . The the ausum mall in Oahu is beautiful also , find some great bargains and beautiful tropical clothes .

We really like this same cruise in December 2018. No joke lee mason is the best cruise director in the cruise industry. The Captain sorry I’m butchering his name LaFauce is also the most personable captain we had. Hawaii was a dream vacation for me and my wife and we were not disappointed.
