My husband and I flew to Honolulu from Sydney with another couple. None of us had been on a cruise before. We stayed at the Prince Kuhio for three days prior to the cruise. It was still undergoing renovations and was very noisy. A little bit sorry we stayed there. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Caught a shuttle bus to port. Embarkation was fast, friendly and very easy. Greeting and information provided once on board was excellent. The ship is absolutely beautiful. Our cabin was laid out perfectly and was spotlessly clean. My husband is 6'3" and was never uncomfortable. Our bed looked like king size by Australian standards.
SERVICE The service was very good and each restaurant had a supervisor walking around asking if everything was to our liking. Cleaning staff were excellent. We tipped our cabin cleaner each day in cash. Only American $1 but she seemed happy to be appreciated. Bar staff were excellent too. Laundry was very well done as well and not too expensive.
