Review summary

We chose this cruise line only because we wanted to see the various Hawaiian Islands, the port of embarkation was great as it was Honolulu and it saved time traveling across the ocean to Hawaii. We used the ship as a hotel and transportation from one island to the other. Our agent, Harry, told us not to expect much in the way of service as this was our seventh cruise and have found the other cruise lines to be very service oriented. The food was mediocre at best and the entertainment average.

Ports of call

Nawiliwili, Kauai

Took a trip on the Blue Hawaiian Helicopters touring the island of Kauai, the scenery was terrific and the pilot did a great job of pointing out things of interest and some of the history.
Don't Miss: Helicopter tour of Kauai.

Hilo, Hawaii

Spent the day at the National Volcanoe Park and found it to be quite fascinating

Kahului, Maui

3 out of 5
After the cruise we spent five days in Napili, Maui which is just north of Lahaina on the west side of the island and found it to be a marvelous place to stay. While there we sailed on the Trilogy and spent several hours snorkeling. The crew and the trip was just great.
