Review summary

15 days seems long, but wasn't nearly long enough. Met a lot of great people on the ship. The food at all the restaurants was incredible. The service was great. The islands were each wonderful in their own way.

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food and service in the main dining room, the steak house, Share, were all top notch. The Chef's Table experience was wonderful and worth the extra cost.

Volcanoes National Park was good. Mauna Loa was fun. Onomea Bay is off the beaten path, but if you get there, it's breathtaking

Pearl Harbor was a must. Luau at Paradise Cove was fun.

made it all the way on the Road to Hana. If your vehicle can take it (several miles are unpaved, and the paved aren't in the best shape), continuing through Hana and around the island back to Lahaina provides a completely different landscape but just as breathtaking views of the ocean. We were able to make it all the way around and make it back in time
