Sail Date: Aug 2014

We have wanted to go to Hawaii for a number of years, but it never made it to the top of our list. This summer, after other plans fell through, we decided to give it a shot, and even though we were a little concerned over the mixed reviews we had seen for the PoA, thought "How bad could it be?".

We booked it last minute, only about 10 days before sailing, and booked a Balcony Guarantee (BX) Cabin. We were assigned our cabin about 6 days before the cruise - a Mid-Ship Balcony (BA) #9612.

We flew to Honolulu a couple of days early, and from our hotel took a shuttle ($8/pp) to the cruise terminal. We got there around 11:45, since we had to check out of our hotel by 11:00, and we decided we would rather wait at the port than in the hotel lobby.

Cabin Review

Cabin was the usual balcony cabin, with a little less counter space in the cabin, and no shelves at all in the bathroom, except under the sink. On the other ships, there have always been shelves with railings in the bathroom, on either side of the mirror. Not so in our cabin. Thinks had to sit on the counter or in our toiletries bag hanging on the back of the door. Location was convenient, but we could sometimes hear people talking as they waited for the elevators.
