Review summary

We really enjoyed being able to visit many of the Hawaiian Islands on our first visit to Hawaii.  It was nice to unpack your suitcase for the week, travel at night and be in a different location the next morning! The ship was cold, so a wrap or sweater is suggested for shows and dinner.  The food was good - breakfast at the Aloha Cafe was our favorite meal! The dining rooms are nice. If you have never been to Hawaii, the cruise was a great way to explore and find the place you want to come back to! We booked shore excursions through the ship and through outside excursions and had a fantastic time!

 

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Most of the food was very good! Some of the desserts were a little strange. Most of the fish dishes we had were mad with frozen fish and not what one would expect in the Hawaiian Islands

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Many good activities took place during the afternoon when we were away from the ship on excursions. It would have been nice to do some of the Hawaiian activities!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed most of the shows - the Hollywood Theater was very cold!! We especially enjoyed "Oh What a Night"

Children's Programs

Had no kid involved

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Never been on any other cruise ship so I have nothing to compare it to. Pool was small. Balcony Stateroom was nice and comfortable.

Was our first cruise - the bed was comfortable, the view from the balcony was great. Not used to such a small bathroom/shower.

Honolulu, Oahu

Honolulu is a very busy place! A big city. Loved being able to go to Pearl Harbor
