Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
great fresh fruits and menu selactions, but long unnecessary waits at restaurants.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
we wish there were quiet places outdoors on the boat - even by the pool...better quality music could have been in some areas...maybe a current movie in the theater...?

Service and Staff

EVERYONE was greatly friendly and talkative - they MADE the cruise!

Don't Miss: see above

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
walking around was great

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
should have taken the Molokai Snorkel excursion...Hana was pretty much a waste of time, except for the cool sites on the way
Don't Miss: watching surkers at Paia and Hookipa Overlook

Pros: Staff - A+!

Cons: BJ's/NCL didn't "keep it as a surprise" to my wife, as I instructed...Paul the opening-hype and pressure/negativity salesmanship...NCL destroyed our suitcase(but did provide another used one after we pressured them)...long waits in restaurants at dinnertimes.
