Review summary

Overall a very nice cruise for the length of the trip. My wife was disappointed that there was not that my classes to do on board, The food was excellent at breakfast with eggs and quality bacon cooked and served nicely at  the buffet. Lunch buffet was excellent salads and fruit but the cooked veggies were watery..Dinner was as good as the better cruises that we went on but not the best. The shows were excellent. The shore excursions that we wanted to go on filled up  fast so it is best to book in advance. We did take a third party in Hilo which as cheaper and was very informed about the lava sites.in  Mexico went to the blow hole on a third party bus (which over heated twice ) that I heard was common so beware. I ship was nice for its age, but it sure did pop and creak when the seas were rough..
