First time in Hawaii! Took the pre cruise 3 nights at the Marriott Waikiki. Cody was a great pre cruise guide - saw Pearl Harbor Polynesian Cultural center, etc. wonderful 3 days. Upgraded to a penthouse suite w2 weeks prior to the cruise. Well worth it. Loved the suite. Specialty restaurants was included with our original deal. Loved the entire cruise. Food was excellent in most cases. Ship was very clean. Suite was excellent. Had a wonderful time. Would like to do this again . All employees on ship very friendly.
