Review summary

Would definitely go back on the ship again if we were to visit Hawaii but this time with our family as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary

Embarkation

5 out of 5

So smooth and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Was not impressed with the specialty dinners for the money that we paid for this trip but the main dining room’s head above average dinners and service as well as the buffets

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not that many to choose from so we really didn’t participate in any of them

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Was OK if they’re looking to improve then they know what they need to do

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

All of them were so pleasing and happy to converse with you!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It is an older ship but was very clean and well-maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rarely saw our room cabin attendant but everything was always left in tiptop shape and the size of the cabin was larger than anticipated

Ship tip

Remember it is an older ship so it doesn’t have many of the modern day amenities as newer ships but what it has to offer than any other ship is being able to travel to all the islands without the additional expense or added days at sea.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

3 out of 5

The city was OK but severely overpopulated Saw Pearl Harbor and upset to find out that a year later the memorial still has not been fixed

Thumbs Up 2

Kahului, Maui

3 out of 5

This pier was OK was up sad to find out that we didn’t see a lot of turquoise water

Thumbs Up 1

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5

We really like the city a lot great markets as well as restaurants and waterfalls

Thumbs Up 3

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

4 out of 5

This city definitely needs a Pier as most cruises that visit a city frequently have a pier built instead of tendering the boat. Too much time is spent waiting online for a boat to pick you up and bring you back to the crew ship. Besides this factor this was one of our favorite islands

Thumbs Up 1

Nawiliwili, Kauai

4 out of 5

A beautiful island surrounded by many turquoise beaches also another one of our favorite islands

Thumbs Up 3

Cruise Napali Coast, Kauai

5 out of 5

What an incredible sight to see from the boat and what a great job they did by going so slow by it so that you can take it all in.
