Review summary

The marvelous entertainment greatly enhanced the two five-day periods at sea. The food, service, and other features on the ship compare well with other cruises. On our first visit to Hawaii, the cruise allowed us to sample the highlights of 4 islands. We now have ideas of what we might like to see on future.visits. However, disembarking in the morning and having to return to the ship in the evening limited our activities at each port. By planning ahead, we made the best of the time each place, but the implementation of the plans hit a few snags. We recommend renting cars immediately at each port to allow more options.

I think this is the smallest inside cabin we have enjoyed, but we still enjoyed it.

Ship tip

Anytime dining allowed us to intermingle with several other couples,some of whom we very much enjoyed. At each port, rent a car to make visiting many attractions much more easily done.

Cruising_ken, we only tended in Maui and it goes very quickly. Easy tender.

Thank you for your nice review. We are looking to book the Hawaii trip from Vancouver in 2017 so this was very helpful. I believe you have to tender at a couple islands so wondering if it was a big delay to get off the ship?
