Review summary

One thing to consider on this cruise. It's all about the islands not the ship. That being said, PoA is not a bad looking ship. She was built in 2005 and refurbished in 2016. There are no casinos on board. Because, gambling is illegal in the Hawaiian Islands. All of the ports, except Kona, are in industrial areas. And, they had shuttle access to all major car rental companies. Kona is accessed by tendering using the life boats. The ship is really a moving hotel with meals included. The crew were wonderful. Activities on the ship were limited. Again, this cruise is about the islands. So, if you would enjoy visiting four island and five cities in Hawaii, then this cruise is for you. If you want the glitz and glamour of other cruise ships, then sail on those ships.

Right on comments and why we have taken the POA cruise 6 times and going again next year. For casinos we go each year to Vegas as that is their focus. POA is at sea only over night so no real casino time avaibke if even offered to relieve days of boredom on open ocean travel. We love visiting all the Hawaii ports and the scenic views.

Did our Honeymoon in 2006 great way to see the Islands. There was a bar that was very hard to fine like on the top floor we had to get off at like the 13th deck walk upstairs the 14th. And the bartenders and waitresses were part of the band
