Sail Date: May 2015
Cabin: Aft-Facing Large Balcony

Twelve of us went on this cruise to celebrate many things. The ship is in need of dry dock and renewal. Outside of the Cruise Director and his staff, many of the staff encountered were not friendly and inexperienced. Cockroaches on my "upgraded" aft balcony. Sewage smells in the cabin. They were good about sending wine and fruit "if" you complained, so be sure to complain about everything. The food at East Meets West was the best by far. We had issues at Cagney's, but the food was good. DO NOT TAKE THE VOLCANOE TOUR IN HILO! You will not see a volcano. Rent a car and drive yourself to the park. If your money allows you to take another cruise line to Hawaii, I highly recommend it. This is a good cruise for first timers, but if you have cruised before, this will disappoint. The highlight of the cruise were my two massages at the hands of Jessica in the spa. Enjoyed the Segway in Maui, and don't miss Koa's Restaurant. The luau in Kauai was different and fun.

Cabin Review

Aft-Facing Large Balcony

Cabin B1

Deep, not large. The cabin above looks down on your area closest to the rail. If you are not there, you have no view except directly behind the ship. All average, but two mornings there were sewage smells in the cabin and roaches on the deck.

Port Reviews

Honolulu

Stayed at the Outrigger Reef. It was beautiful and right on the beach. Many things to do in town, but we enjoyed the hotel. You are walking distance to great stores and restaurants. Don't miss Eggs and Things for breakfast.
