My husband and I went on this wonderful cruise.
We arrived a few days early and staying at the Vive Hotel in Honolulu. a taxi from the airport to the downtown area was about $50. On the Saturday morning we did The Pearl Harbour tour through Hawaii tours. We took a taxi from the hotel to pier for about $20. After we had a quick embarkation and enjoyed a good lunch aboard the ship. We did a few hours to wait before we were able to go to our stateroom. So we walked around the ship & sat by the pool.
We had an outside cable bin. It was a decent size-great for us. We found it comparable to other staterooms we have had. It was clean & the beds were comfortable. Yes the shower is small but manageable.
