Review summary

The 4 island iterenary is the best and most affordable way to see 4 islands in just a week. The golf Shop Manager was outstanding and the shore excursion staff was very helpfull without being over agressive which is very important on this cruise. Housekeeping was below average and the food and foodstaff were poor at best. This is not your typical cruise as very little time is spent at sea and most and what is is done overnight so you wake up in a new port with the whole day ahead of you. We would not take this cruise again due to the poor service and even worse food.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was overcooked on a regular basis. The buffent line ran out of food on a regular basis and a lot of "Hot" foods were cold. Went to the Itailian specialty restaurant and my dauhters sword fish was so over done we had a hard time cuttin it with a knife.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Not much varity(there is no gambling in Hawaii0 and the entertainers were not any were near what we have comt to expect in our 3 previous cruises, The cruise diectoer tried to hold it sll together but was given little to work with.

See comments above. Some outstanding areas are dragged down by the restaurant staff and poor food.

Ship Quality

older ship has been updated but there were no oustanding features that you could not find in any other ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
State rooms do not have all the amenities you would find on a new ship but it does not matter. We spent so little time there we realy didn't miss anything.

We want on tubing the ditch the first day. Is was a laid back very enjoyable trip with a wonderfull staff. Went to the canyon the second day and the long (almost2 hour) bus ride was well worth it.
