Review summary

This was our 3rd Cruise, each with a different Cruise Line. While the ship was clean , it's old and not very exciting. On "at sea" days we missed lounge chairs in a covered/shaded area, by the pool(s). The accommodations were fine, the food could have been kicked up a notch. The crew was friendly and helpful.

Ports of call

Lahaina, Maui

3 out of 5
Very tourist oriented with too many T-Shirt shops. We made a trip (on our own) off the beaten path which was spectacular.
Don't Miss: Luau at the Beach

Again, tourist trap around the Pier area with too many T-shirt shops. We loved the snorkeling (on our own trip), though! The historical aspects were interesting.
Don't Miss: Snorkeling and swimming with the Turtles.

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
We liked Hilo, the countryside and foilage, waterfalls.

Fanning Island, Kiribati

5 out of 5
This was the highlight of the entire trip!!! The island, the natives, their lifestyle.
Don't Miss: The white sandy Beach and the clear blue water. Watch out for the sunburn, though!

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
We like the 'quieter' atmosphere. Again went (on our own) on side trips which were memorable.
Don't Miss: Waimea Canyon and Beaches
