Review summary

I would recommend researching all excursions. Feel free to take off on your own on days with no All Aboard, use your time wisely

Embarkation

5 out of 5
4th cruise and by far the easiest embarkment, from Uber to gang way 45 minutes

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Everything was pretty average

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We liked the adults only pool area but it is also the smoking area so that was disappointing

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Luau dance show was nice. Vivian the MC for games was a lot of fun, you can tell she loves her job

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
This is the first cruise we barely saw our room steward, couldn’t even tell you his name. Never turned down the bed and no towel animals. We did have good service at restaurants and bars. The ladies that bused tables at the buffet area were super friendly and fun

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
It was clean, but it is an older ship and rooms are very small

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
This is a very small older style cabin

Ship tip

The drink package is very confusing, and I watched 3 YouTube videos explaining it. They charge you tax on drinks if you are in port. And the pricing is very minimal as too what is included.

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
Pearl Harbor is a must see

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Sunrise at Haleakala Crater - worth the early departure time. Port is not in an area I would consider “touristy”

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
There is an easily accessible “Hop on Hop off “ shuttle we learned about from ship employees

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

5 out of 5
This is a port with lots of options within walking distance, and is picture perfect like you would imagine Hawaii

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
The most beautiful island of them all. Uber to airport for car rental very close and easy to drive around island. We did the Best of Kauai excursion and felt like it was a great value

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super easy and quick
