Small, cabin wasn't ever cleaned as far as dirty dishes, glasses, etc. Not dependable

Ship tip

Don't...cost too much for no more than you get. Can't watch normal TV, have to make reservations for open dining, was not offered more food when eating in restaurants/dining rooms.

You don’t sound like a very nice person.... way to ruin your own vacation by looking for the negative....

We had to make reservation for open dining on other ships with other lines. I don't quite get "were not offered more food". First, you can order as much as you want. Second, from my experience, if servers like you and feel you like and appreciate them they will bring you extra appetizers or dessert or lobster tail. Two-way street.

Yes, 80 percent US crew and US labor laws plus all provisions from fuel to food have to be shipped to Hawaii, 2500 from CA, so prices higher. But always have a great time and in port each day. No wasted days at sea and fantastic island coastline views.

I have not cruised on this particular ship, But from what I have read, this is an older ship and the only large cruise ship sailing under an American Flag so That it does not have to visit a foreign port before returning to a US port. It seems this ship is more about the ports and itinerary than the actual ship.
