Had 4 days in Honolulu before the cruise. We had Leo as our tour guide. He was wonderful, very knowledgeable & funny. The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort Hotel was breathtakingly beautiful. We had the ocean view but limited view as other hotel was blocking most of it.

Embarkation onto the ship was fast & easy as our luggage was taken from Hotel to the ship while we were on tour. We did not get the free transfer, they said I did not call for it early enough, so be sure & do this. It cost us $35. to get out own through Roberts Hawaii Express Shuttle. On board the ship, All the staff was wonderful, the ship was beautiful. The food was really a good selection & tasty. The excursions exceeded my expectations. All of the guides were very knowledgeable & funny. The staff on board made us feel like VIP's. We had wine, champagne, water, snack, delivered to our cabin daily. Invitations to the VIP receptions, & Sail away party. Overall a GREAT experience.
