Review summary

Amazing cruise. The ship was smaller and more intimate. Crew some of the best we have experienced. We had the unlimited dining and beverage package along with the key. Not sure if any of this mattered but we were made to feel special at ever encounter.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Horrible. They do not follow any of the normal boarding rules. A guy tell you where to sit and boards by row. No crown and anchor loyalty. No key priority. My bf is blind and I had to fight for them to allow him the priority that was given.

Onboard Activities

We did a lot of the activities. Movies by the pool, put, put late night movies in the theater. We took the sushi making class and that was well worth the money.

Service and Staff

From the moment we got on people were very friendly. By the second day they knew our name. ( we do tip a few extra dollars for coffee, drinks and specialty, not sure if that was why).

Ship Quality

Loved the ship. Only thing I would say is they need more stores for us to spend our money. Lol.

Cabin / Stateroom

Location was amazing. Balcony a little smaller than we are used to. Room was well laid out.

Enjoy the outdoor seating off the windjammer. We only had drinks out there but it was so tranquil.

Nawiliwili, Kauai

We did another snorkeling tour and it was not very good at all. Very rough waters and we were not allowed to hang out on the beach. Almost as though we shouldn’t of been there. After excursion we did some shopping. Had the best non dairy pineapple ice cream ever.

Hilo, Hawaii

We did the hop on hop off bus. Lots of fun.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

We did a sea life snorkeling adventure. Waters were calm. They had a breakfast buffet and a lunch buffet on the ship. Didn’t see a single fish but they made it fun.

Honolulu, Oahu

5 out of 5
We stayed two extra days here at Hale Koa Hotel, it’s right on the beach. We visited Pearl Harbor, the huge out door mall, spent time on the beach and did a luau at paradise cove. It was wonderful.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had the key and we had an escort off. We were off the ship and had our luggage with in minutes.
