Onboard Activities

Not a lot of things to do on the ship. I understand that this cruise was geared for Hawaii but the ship was lack luster and so was the activities.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Unfortunately since most of the staff was from America they were not as accommodating and were some of the rudest staff. We had a great staff member in Stephanie and we made sure to see her daily. She was amazing

I was on same cruise at that time and had an excellent time. Not a paryy cruise and it is smaller than all these fliating cities. We went again in 209 and are booked for same time this year. Love this more than other cruises we have done. Love the staff, people we meet and the views and variety of visits to the island ports. But that is the kind of cruise we enjoy.

For anyone considering this cruise, just realize it is all about the itinerary and seeing Hawaii roundtrip without having to sail for days to get there and return. If you look at the ship as transportation and a place to stay / eat, and aren’t expecting the latest / greatest amenities, then you will have a wonderful time.

Yep, same comments about this ship over and over. If anyone read any reviews about this cruise before going on it, they would not be surprised. Their review would simply say, "Just like everyone said, the ship experience was sub-par but the itinerary was amazing." I actually was surprised the crew wasn't as bad as expected. It was similar to most service in America. Not like the incredible experience we are used to from an international crew but mostly positive.
