We booked this cruise like most do, I think, for the itinerary. And the itinerary was top-notch. We were able to see the best of the islands without packing and repacking a suitcase..and that was great. We splurged and stayed in a Penthouse suite and were very glad we did. The suites are fairly updated on this ship and the haven service is nice. There weren't many public areas to roam around in or hang out..so it was nice to have a luxury place to land.

The food on this ship was pretty subpar. We ate in Moderno and Cagneys alot. Luckily, Cagneys is open for haven guests to eat for breakfast and lunch. This was a really nice perk for us. We really enjoy food when we are vacationing. We were bummed that POA didn't offer a chef's table. The sports bar on the cruise was great. We watched some NFL and playoff MLB games there. We also participated in a margarita tasting event that was super fun. There is an outside bar at the far aft of the ship that is also very nice...windy..but nice.

The Aloha buffet was an avoid at all costs place for us. It didn't come close to matching buffet areas on other ships we've been on. The dining rooms were ok. Read more
