We were on the 5/10 sailing and had a wonderful time. This was my 10th cruise. I have cruised 4 times on the Queen Elizabeth II (QE2), other Cunard ships and Princess.

Here is a run down of our vacation. We are 4 British women, 3 of us are now living in America and we all met up in LA, before traveling to Hawaii. We arrived in Hawaii 2 days before our cruise and stayed at the Hale Koa Hotel. On our first night we attended the Luau at the hotel and it was terrific. The next morning we went on the Royal Circle Island Tour which was very enjoyable. The following morning we did the Pearl Harbor Excursion before heading to the ship. We arrived at the docks around 3:00pm and were on board the ship within 10 minutes. We entered into the main lobby of the ship and the crew was handing out glasses of champagne. Our cabins on deck 7 were ready so we dropped of our hand luggage and had a stroll around the ship. We found the POAm to be a very pretty ship and easy to find your way around. All over the ship were hand sanitizers, more so than I had ever seen on any other ship.

Crew: We found the crew to be very friendly and helpful. Being Brits we do like our afternoon cup of tea and we would go to the Aloha Cafe and even though it was in between set up times for meals, some crew member would always find us a few cookies to have with our tea. Read more
