This was my first cruise and as you can imagine I was filled with excitement and anticipation. This was one of my life's ambitions and I was not disappointed with it's fulfillment. A Hawaiian cruise of the Islands was our first choice and the greatest one that Geraldine and I could have made. First of all the Hotel stay was great. Every aspect of the cruise was very well planned. Welcoming was warm and hospitable. The cabin we had was beautiful with a window view. and kept clean. The food was very good and plentiful at all times. The planned choice of the Islands visited and time of travel was great. Activities met our desire with adequate time for excursions for every day. Not a day was idol. Nighttime entertainment was varied and great. Getting onto and off the ship was planned with great precision. But have some ready cash if you love to (have a few) in augmenting your vacation! and not having a big charge account at checkout. THIS WAS A GREAT LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
