Overall, a great experience and an excellent to see many parts of Hawaii with the luxury of returning to the each day, rather than packing up and moving locations!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Fast and efficient
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Tried 3 specialty restaurants (Teppanyaki, Brazilian, Tuscan). All were good! Although, the “show” at the Teppanyaki was not what we expected based on other experiences and the broken air conditioning in the Brazilian made for more than just meat sweats!!!
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Really didn’t use the facilities. The back pool was nice and quiet!
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Comedian was quite funny. Didn’t get to many shows. The time change and extreme heat really had an impact on how tired we were at night!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our room steward “G” was excellent. Always accessible, but never intrusive. Spent a lot of time at the pool bar where Josh and Olivia made our week!!!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Older ship, but well maintained
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin itself was quite small, but we had an aft facing balcony on deck 10 which was amazing! Great views particularly when passing the Nepali Coast and loved the long deck with loungers and sitting chairs.
Ship tip
Be aware that if you have drink package you will still be charged the taxes when the boat is in port and that the John Adams coffee bar was NOT included unlike many other cruise lines.
Rented speedsters from Maui Roadsters. Awesome cars, but no air conditioning, power steering and stick shift made for a long, hot drive on the road to Hana. Very few places to safely stop and park on the winding roads!
Sunrise crater excursion was breathtaking!!! You need to leave the boat at 2:45am to see it though 😴
Most beautiful part of the trip! Played golf at Poipu Bay, went to a luau and took the helicopter tour over the island which was expensive, but by far the best part of our trip!
