We loved the ports. It was an excellent way to visit four Hawaiian Islands. We loved the new ship. Pool area was nice. Plenty of room on decks. The service in our cabin was very good.
We hated Freestyle Dining. To us, their slogan "Eat Where You Want, When you Want" is false advertising. The only place we could eat when we wanted was in the Aloha Buffet. Even in there, they were challenged to keep certain items always available...like silverware and bowls. The soft ice cream was the best thing on the ship, but even though they had two machines they only kept one going...and the area was never stocked.
The menus in the main dining rooms were boring and limited. To get the good stuff like Filet Mignon you had to pay extra in the 'specialty restaurants'...however we couldn't get a reservation even once the entire week!!!
