Review summary

Great way to see the islands. Amazing views from the ship. Did excursions but didn’t like the herding in and out of bus and too commercialized. Would do more fun stuff!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We arrived mid embarkation and it was quick and simple with no lines!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Biggest complaint was staff! They got meals wrong, were not very friendly, and didn’t want to be there! Also limited areas to get water, pushing more for everyone to buy water at a ridiculous price!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool ok, rather small. Ping pong tables not the greatest. Had 2 competitions and 1st one no one showed up but my husband. 2nd one only 2 showed up. Other activities always seemed to have the same 2-3 couples

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows were great!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward nice but she didn’t do much. As stated earlier, staff in general not the friendliest. Overheard a few times how they couldn’t wait for their time to be over. The Hawaiian Ambassador was great!!! So was the assistant cruise director!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size of room was small but balcony was a good size! Mattress connector not so comfortable. 1/2 way through night I keep feeling something uncomfortable, turns out the zipper connecting mattresses was not all the way down.
