Review summary

I strongly recommend the POA Hawaiian cruise with Norwegian.  We left Honolulu on June 24th, 2017 returning on July 1st, 2017.  From start to finish it was a wonderful trip.  The staff were all very helpful and professional. Our cabin was lovely and was very clean.  Our cabin steward, Eston, was always available in case we needed anything.  The ports of call are perfect.  You have plenty of time to go ashore and do so many great activities.  The food was great!  We only ate at the buffet once; we preferred the "sit-down" restaurants.  They were quieter and you get personalized service.  We also upgraded our dining for 3 nights, eating at 3 of the restaurants available.  They were all wonderful.  We could not possibly eat all of the food available to us at the Brazilian restaurant.  The steakhouse was really good; we were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary.  We were pleasantly surprised with a serenade from our wait staff!  The entire trip was great.  We loved the ability to just "walk off" with our luggage the day of disembarkation-no need to wait for colored tags, etc.  There is no "alcohol/beverage" package available, so drinks can be pricey.  We did pre-order bottled water to be delivered to our cabin, so that was a great benefit to us.

The balcony was especially nice. It made the somewhat small cabin feel larger. There are lots of places to store things. The shower/bathroom is really tight. Overall, it was good.

Ship tip

We loved the Skyline restaurant for breakfast. Great service, good food and much quieter than the buffet.
