Review summary

We loved this cruise! Sad this is our last night. Every staff member we interacted with was so nice. We especially loved Brittany from MN! She took care of us at the pool and in the Mardi Gras Lounge. The ship was clean. The staff was fun. We would recommend this to anyone!

The Aloha buffet will b open during boarding time, usually from noon to 4 pm. While they start resetting the buffet for dinner, there is always sandwiches, cookies and soft serve ice cream. Don't worry about getting something to eat when you get on board. Fastest is to get out of the crowded lobby and head up to deck 11 aft to eat.

Regular cruisers know it. Muster station is the required safety and life boat info meeting before the ship leaves the dock. All passengers must attend at the designated location by a certain life boat or meeting room. It is all about what to do in an emergency aand the safety rules. Takes only about fifteen minutes.

It varies as they work up from the lower decks but some time between 2 and 3 pm usually. Goid time to get lunch and plan your tours and places to eat as well as meet fellow travelers. I think muster station is around 5 PM. Then it is the sail away party around the pool deck. You watch the lights off Waikiki as you head towards Diamond Head.

lunch is available when you board in Aloha Cafe buffet and Key West bar while you wait to get access to your room. Announcement s made as rooms ready by deck. Aloha has good selection but is usually packed. Key West just burgers and fries but not crowded.
