Had a good time cruising the Hawaiin Islands. Our flight landed around noon and we prepaid for a shuttle to ship. I suggest you prepay for everything, and make reservations online at home at least a week before your trip. It took a longer time than expected to get on board. I was happy to see that we were upgraded to a large balcony. This was our third cruise with NCL and the biggest room.

The best place to eat for us was at the Aloha Buffet Grill on Deck 11 and the specialty restaurants. I was able to order a personal gluten free pizza from Aloha Buffet grill. Delicious! We prepaid for three. Tappenyaki food was good, the cook was a little over the top. La Cocina was great! They had gluten free pasta that I had with Lobster. They were not stingy with the Lobster either! Cagneys steakhouse was superb! Filet minion cooked to perfection with another mega lobster. Calamari was on point too. I didn't care for the food at Cadillac diner, bland. Skyline was the worst. Food was not warm, service slow. Room service was good.

We went to a Margarita tasting. My first. It was well worth the $20 for 5 margaritas! We went to the Rocking Hula Show. It was great play with singing and dancing. The crew was good. They freely answered any questions we had. The boat was extremlely rocky at night. Read more
