Review summary

We have done Hawaii cruise out of Vancouver in the past and had a great time. This was our first time cruising over holiday season. Unfortunately I got sinusitis infection about 6 days in to our 15 day cruise. First time I had this and it really took me out - we stopped going to shows and main dining room so we wouldn’t be too close to people. Having interior cabin was a mistake as I needed lots of fresh air to be able to breathe properly so couldn’t stay in cabin too long. Hung out on outside decks and occasionally Adagio and Skywalkers lounge during the day. Lesson learned - we will never book interior cabin on future cruises just in case.

Ports of call

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Our favorite port as you can walk 10-15 minutes to Kalapki beach which is beautiful. Nice grassy area to sit under trees if preferred and Duke’s restaurant beachside. Fun to watch the surf riders.

Hilo, Hawaii

Not impressed with Hilo although enjoyed the walk along Banyan Way

What a bummer that you got sick. Nothing worse than feeling like that on a cruise ship when all you're looking for is a nice relaxing vacation. Hope you have better luck and a better time next cruise!

Our friends had covid last cruise and had an inside cabin…they too have booked a balcony for their next cruise! Glad you were able to enjoy anyway!
