Review summary

Fantastic, viewing all the islands was breathtaking views Paradise for sure, experience it, live it, you only live once so go for the gusto, do it. Best way to see all the islands the affordable way and the overnight docking was a real treat because you are not rushed getting back on board, at ease and true relaxing island enjoyment ! Our cruise agent Kudos to her for a wonderful job Ariana King you rock, Mahalo

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

buffets were great, didn't dine at specialty restaurants, main dining room service was slow and coffee was never really hot during night dining, morning yes coffee is readily available but if you are a all day coffee drinker good luck getting a hot cup in main dining room

we were really pleased with our inside cabin, no complaints, when we wanted the balcony effect we would just go to top deck and lay in the private cabanas that are offered for free, never had a problem getting one because on this ship 80 % of the cabins are balconies so if you want more bang for your buck just get an inside cabin and choose to carry your beach bag to deck to get the balcony paradise

Ship tip

dont miss out on any of the islands they are all so beautiful, always try to lay out on deck island view pay attention if you are portside or starboard. Be sure to go to the Cadillac Diner they have chicken wings there and tuna sandwiches, so awesome at no charge, the milkshakes you have to pay for by all means get one I had strawberry cheesecake, OMG wish I had one now

Done this excellent cruise nine times. We love seeing and visiting each of the islands. We enjoy having a balcony now but this ship has lots of great places on the inside and outsidevdeck areas to sit and enjoy the view. Buffet is good but we usually will dona tgree specialty dining package just to mix up our meal choices. Onlt a few montgs until the next one.

Agreed about the balcony. We had one on this same Hawaii cruise. It was good for seeing from one side but if you wanted to see the other directions (front, back, or other side) you need to go to the deck. Or if you were watching a whale, you couldn't follow it for long just looking out the balcony... Unless it was cheap, I wouldn't pay for a balcony.
