Review summary

Norwegian is the only cruise line offering trips around Hawaiian islands. Considering this fact it was not bad. We liked the itinerary. Shore excursions offered by Norwegian carry quite steep price. So. we just rented a car or used HOP-ON-HOP-OFF local tour services. As for food. Breakfast & lunch menu was always the same. Dinner had some variety. But, whatever was cooked was very tasty & good quality. There were no fresh berries on offer during the entire cruise safe for a special treat from our waiter on the last dinner, strawberries. We had never seen smocked salmon either.

Entertainment: some of it was supper, some just tolerable. Also, we were to tired after the day of exploring the islands to fully appreciate it.

Music in bars was rather boring, putting to slip. And we were too tired by that time anyway. If that music were more conducive to dancing we would probably stay longer & ordered some drinks as well to go with it.

Small but, very well appointed. Unfortunately was very little information available about day activities & happenings on cabin TV.

Ship tip

Take a balcony cabin with unobstructed view. We enjoyed it.

We climbed Diamond Head. If someone is hail enough, it is worth it. The museums are excellent, more than we expected.
