Review summary

Our room was smaller than on other cruise lines like Princess and Celebrity. There were no classes in the gym, yoga, Zumba, etc. Very disappointing. There was no champagne cocktail party with the captain for return guests. The casino was closed, the towels were rough, and the trout was dry. The staff was very accommodating and efficient,

POA is frestyle dining and infirmal for the casual cruiser. They do not have captIn tabke or formal dining. It is a lower cost cruise compared others vecuse if this. We leave the formal wesr at home to relax and enjiy Hawaii onPOA because it us about Hawaii. You are in port everyday znd zt sea at night. The gym has some early morning cycling and workout sessio s but with almost everyone enjoying going zshore each day, not enough interest in other classes. Only five more days until our fifth POA cruise.

I'm sure there was info on the company's website. It's always helpful to read FAQ, will learn a lot and will know what to expect.

The casino is closed because Hawaii does not allow gambling and you never leave their waters. When we sailed on the pride a few years ago we attended the cocktail party with the officers and their qere classes in the gyms. I'm not sure why there weren't any for this trip.
