This was my 4th cruise and the second with my kids. Ok. Disney was our first as a family two years ago and you can't really beat them. My overall complaint is that the ship was boring esp. for my kids!

The ship's look was decent. It is not in dire need of a make-over, but the Hawaii theme is pretty lame! The most that you are able to see the wear and tear was on the deck IMHO. The colors were fading the kiddie slide is mediocre at best. The family pool was NOT kid friendly. Who has a family pool where the lowest water level is 4'11"? And it was really higher than that as my husband was on his tip toes in it and he is 5'11"!!

The service was extremely slow in the restaurants. Almost to the point to make you not want to go. The lines are Looooong especially around dinner time. If we went, we just started going late like 8:30-9pm.. This made me strongly dislike the freestyle option. We ate mostly in the buffet because our kids were hungry and waiting 45 min to an hour to be seated was a joke! The breakfast area in the buffet had NO kid cereal. The fresh squeezed juice or specialty coffee is not a part of the beverage pkg. By day 3 or 4 the Buffet food just got old! I mean they tried to change it up a bit...but it was old. We never ate in any of the specialty restaurants. My favorite "free" restaurant was the Jasmine Garden. Try the green tea icecream! Yummy! Read more
