Review summary

I was concerned, my wife was very assuring.. You will enjoy it---she said.... It will be fun---she said. I enjoyed my first cruise---she said.She was right.......

From start to finish, I enjoyed the whole experience. Meeting a few new friends during the cruise, have now become good old friends.I hve been back since then to Lihue. I have also been on another cruise since.....read about that one on the Island Princess

The overall concept of relaxing was new to me and for the first holiday in 30 years, I think we chose well.

There will alsways be those who find anything to complain about anywhere.

After this first experience.....I'm not one of them.
