Review summary

I was way disappointed in loosing two Hawaii days port of call on Maui. I understand why but I thing RC should have tried a little bit harder to make that up in Hawaii. We live near both Seattle and Victoria so they were not a interest to us.

Ship tip

This ship uses its internet satellite service to allow some cellular providers to broadcast their cellular service. This information was denied by the guest services staff but I confirmed with AT&T. I had to me a hidden cost for cellular that ran in the background. They need to detail what is available not just push their ship internet plans.

Had to go through customs here. Took over 3 hours to do this, just messed up our planned shore trip.

Cruise Napali Coast, Kauai

Ok, but it was the disembarking port so nothing fancy.
