This is hands down the best way to experience Hawaii if you've never been & want to get an idea of which islands you might like to visit in the future. It's hard to beat any of the islands, but you sure can get a taste for what you might want to spend more time on in the future.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Super easy & smooth
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We did not do any specialty dining, but the food was decent. The main dining room & buffet selections were pretty good. It would have been nice to see more locally sourced choices.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Our 8-year-old especially liked the kid's club. We didn't spend much time onboard other than dinner & sleeping.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
She loved it & was excited to go every night. The staff is enthusiastic & engaging.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Every single staff member was hustling, keeping everyone happy & the ship tidy.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
A testament to the staff that the ship was kept very clean
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cleanliness was exceptional. I don't remember the cabin feeling so small (we sailed on this ship in 2011-same basic stateroom.) Mattress was acceptable.
Ship tip
Enjoy the islands and keep in mind that the ship is really just a floating hotel.
Kauai is our favorite island. We drove to Waimea canyon the first day & all that entails. Second day we made it all the way to Hanalei, but then had to hurry back. I wish they would give you more time in Kauai.
We missed the Napali Coast as we were in the dining room. We didn't realize it until it was too late. Kind of disappointed that they didn't announce what time they would be "driving' by.
