Recommended by friends and we were not disappointed. We found the ship to be brilliant with superb accommodation in a balcony stateroom. The food was outstanding and a wide choice. Entertainment was brilliant with top acts and dancers. We were entertained with comedians, dance acts and a variety of musical acts. The ship sails at night and arrives in port every morning ready for disembarkation. This is a brilliant way to see all the Hawaiian islands with shore excursions ready to choose from on board, or make your own plans onshore. This is by far the best cruise we have taken. The big island was a favourite with a visit to Volcanoes National Park the highlight of the trip. This day was followed by a night time cruise by the coast where active lava flows into the sea. From embarkation on day 1 in Honolulu to the various ports the security was necessary but quick.
