Review summary

This was our 18th cruise (fourth on NCL). They really have it down to a science getting people on & off. In all of our previous cruises, this one wins! There was NO crowding, NO confusion, No jamming people on decks and in stairwells to get off for port calls or disembarkation. Very impressive. The comedian and the comic-magician were hysterically funny. Of the minor "irks", I had bought 250 minutes of Wi-Fi, arrived on Sat. but couldn't see the person needed to show me how to use it until Mon. , so I lost minutes. The food was varied and the usual fare on ships. The Cadillac Diner was good. Several others we met agreed with us that we had cabin stewards but didn't see them for several days. They kept the rooms clean somehow. Take as many shore excursions as you can. We would have liked an area with music for older couples' dancing and not the loud stuff late at night. There is so much to see, and so much variety. You'll sure need rest before & after!

Arrive at least one day early, three days would be better. See as much of each island as possible.

Thanks for the great review! I wish I would have booked this cruise last December instead of the Mexican Riviera while I could still enjoy the Big Island (pre-volcano eruption). We will definitely book next year if NCL rearranges their itinerary by incorporating a stop in Lanai to replace the Big Island or by shortening the cruise to a 4 day with just Kaui, Maui and Oahu stops...It'll be interesting to see:)

Could I ask which shore excursions you did? And did you book them through Norwegian?
