Review summary

Overall, the ship was very nice. The American theme is different, and the ship is attractive. The atrium was disappointing. It was not an open look so you did not have the spacious feeling in the center of the ship.Newbury Street Shops were well laid out and spacious.

We went on a dolphin and "nature" cruise which was a waste of time (although we saw dolphins you could see them from the ship tenders)

The hip cruised past the lava flowing at night and there was narration by one of the staff members who is a native Hawaiian. We watched from our balcony but were not able to hear the narration. Better to go to the public areas of the ship for this.
