Review summary

This is a wonderful cruise. It could only be better if the ship spent two days in Bora Bora, Moorea, & Tahiti. Unfortunately as with most cruises you just get a small taste of the places visited1! Lots of at sea days, if thats not your cup of tea this particular itinerary would not be for you!

The staff bends over backwards to be helpful and polite!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It's an older ship (built on 2002) so it's not as sleek and glitzy as the new ships. It is well maintained, and very clean!

Kauai is our favorite Hawaiian island! We rented a car and set off to our favorite spots on the island! The rental car places pick you up at the port. So everything is easy and efficient!
