Review summary

Most of the excursions were interesting. Two were just “where can we drive you before we bring you back to boat”. Total waste of days in Hawaii. The extra treats put in our room was a very nice touch. But the fact that service people were trying to get into our room after 8pm was bothersome.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Absolutely great. Very attentive and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Had the same exact buffet every day. It had no presentation what-so-ever. The line for specialty restaurants lasted for hours. Gave up trying.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did some lei making classes, and did lots of excursions.

Entertainment

Did not go to any shows.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Majority of staff was professional, kind, and helpful. For three days, we were bothered by the room steward, until we learned how to use the Do Not Disturb placard on the outside wall.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes the common areas were well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The suite was lovely! Very clean.

The seas can get very rough, bring Dramamine.

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

4 out of 5
Did not do an excursion. Just boarded and Unboarded.

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Did the sunset excursion on dormant volcano. It was amazing. The Best of Maui was done the following day and it was mediocre at best.

Hilo, Hawaii

4 out of 5
Did the Best of Hilo tour and it was not at all as we had expected. No way the places we went to was the Best of Hilo.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

4 out of 5
Took the volcano national park excursion. The park was nice, but then we were brought back to Hilo to visit Rainbow Falls, after everyone on tour bus said they had seen it in Hilo tour.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Went to Waimea Canyon. Lovely excursion!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy and fast. Getting on a bus to the airport took forever. Should tell people to take cabs.
