Review summary

We found the cruise a unique experience, nothing wrong with it. We would not choose a cruise again, would rather fly to Maui and rent a condo with kitchen for vacation.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff all very polite and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The only complaint is how far it was to walk from room to shopping, food or coffee areas. There was usually nowhere for my mom to sit. All areas appeared clean and maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable room. Liked the sitting area, two tv’s, balcony. Room starting to look tired. Did not like the hand held shower. Steward kept it clean!

Ship tip

Be prepared to stand in line and wait. Long wait for elevators.

The water transport was very hot and far too cramped. The 20 min to shore was too long for my Mom. Would not do this again.

Sad you didn't feel like participating in activities or see the shows. We love cruising, but it's not for everyone. Thank you for sharing your thoughts in this review.

That's fair. Not everyone will like cruising and that's a good thing. If everyone wanted to cruise, the cruise lines could charge whatever they want. Although I wouldn't base my decision not to cruise on this Hawaii cruise. That cruise is not typical -read the reviews to get the idea. Also I would not base everything on how hard it is for a handicapped person to get around, unless you always go on vacation with a handicapped person.
