Review summary

This was our first NCL cruise. We'd heard bad things about the food, but overall it was pretty good. We found the warm desserts in the buffet were usually way better than in the dining room. But that's not to say the dining room ones were bad. Just not our choice. Our cabin was very nice, but seemed smaller than most balcony cabins we've had. When we looked out at the balcony, all was made clear. The balcony was twice as long as we've ever seen. There was room for two chaise loungers, two chairs with footstools and two small tables. Our only real disappointment with the ship was our cabin steward. Usually, our stewards know our names and call us by name every time they see us. This steward was friendly, when we did see her. But we rarely saw her. We had to ask for robes, room service menus, laundry bags, and an extra blanket, twice. About excursions. We do our own. Highly recommend Ocean Lava Tours in Hilo to boat to watch the lava flow into the sea. We rented a car. Did the 1100 tour and made it back in time to have a cocktail before the ship sailed. The Backcountry Tubing tour in Kauai was great. We took a cab and saved about $40 each off ship price.
