Picked this cruise because we didn't want to fly all the way to Hawaii. We had been there several times before--this is not the cruise to take if you have never been there.

CONS: Small cabin, with no end tables. Small and inefficient shower. Breakfasts were mostly the same each day--we only ate in the dining room one day. Poor signage around the ship--it was hard to find your way around. Dinners in dining room could have been more imaginative, and there was no steak on the everyday menu. Daily menus were not posted on the cruise website. Too many sea days. Ship could have gone faster and spent more time in the Islands. Excursions too expensive. Not enough channels on the TV. Seats in theater very uncomfortable.

PROS: The entire crew and staff were wonderful. Everyone did their best to see passengers had a good time. Good variety of entertainment and lectures. Plenty of seating in buffet area. Nice lunch buffet. Comfortable new beds. Large elevators. NFL games on TV. New internet much faster--package was for unlimited minutes per day. Soda package included other drinks. Good pizza. Snacks available 24 hrs. Easy embarkation and debarkation.
