Review summary

This was the Cruisetour and it was wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of it and was happy to finally see Hawaii. I was very glad that the ship's Captain darkened part of the ship when we passed erupting Kilauea volcano at night. We were able to clearly see the lava and the sky was full of stars!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We visited two specialty restaurants. Bistro was good but LaCucina was very disappointing. The portions could have been a bit larger, too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Movie, library. I just didn't use the activities much this time.

Service and Staff

Two people in the Aloha cafe were excellent. Anthony from Baltimore and Ashley from New York were both very friendly and an asset to your ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was average size. I wish I had known that the balcony overlooked the lifeboats, but that was my mistake because I didn't ask.

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5

We were on the Cruisetour, so we spent 3 days in Oahu before leaving the port. It was excellent. Really enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor.
