Review summary

We have been recommending this to local Hawaii residents. Going thru Hawaiian Airlines got us specialty dinners which we really enjoyed.. When I tried to do the Wifi package, the gal said I'd have to go to a Starbuck's to sign in. So we never used it. There could be more Hawaiian culture activities. I would recommend paper toilet seats in the public areas.

Food was wonderful. Only negative experience was Moderna, the Brazilian food was chewy and overcooked.

Pool and hot tubs were good. There could have been more Hawaiian learning activities.

Entertainment

Shows were good, magician and music were best.

Not traveling with kids. However, it was good to see that kids had their own hot tub.

Had a family guide for the Akaka and Rainbow Falls. The new road over the new lava flow was fascinating. Should be on the ship's agenda.
