Review summary

Great cruise. Much to do on your own off ship. Diamond Head, Arizona Memorial, Volcanos National Park, etc. These were GREAT and very inexpensive! Did arrange a GREAT luau on Lahaina; check AAA to find the best one and save TONS of cash compared to cruise ship price!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Excellent food in main dining both breakfast and dinner. On lido it was good but not up to par with previous Holland experiences.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pickleball was best on board activity but only because arranged and supported by a PASSENGER. Game nights are great; trivia it’s usual good time.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was perhaps best that I have seen in my 24 cruises. Great variety. Not so much song/dance.

Children's Programs

No kids
