It was a little dated in decor as was the rest of the ship. But it was clean and roomy and we loved our balcony. The bath was large and clean. We loved the chocolates on our pillows every night.

We stopped at boring places. We were told we'd see lava flows and only saw a distant plume of smoke having hiked a mile over rough terrain to get to a rocky black sand beach. We saw the Lava Tree State Park which was only so-so. Next time I would book the helicopter ride over the lava flow.

There is simply no other way to see an island than by helicopter. I'm afraid to fly and I did it! If I can do it, anyone can. They make allowances for plus-sized people who have to pay extra if you're over 250 lbs, but it's still worth it. Don't  waste your money on lesser tours go for the pinnacle experience! Fly!

Great fun. Interesting cultural experiences with native song, dance and costumes. It had audience involvement which was fun for kids. It's hot guys, hula girls, family fun,  paddling an outrigger canoe and enjoying Hawaiian BBQ and Dole Pineapple Whip cones. Perfection.

It's fine if you like aquariums. They had a cool 54' glass tube with fish and sharks swimming all around you. Kids seemed  to have fun at this tour.

The Crown Grill steak is the best I've ever eaten.The best chairs were in the Piazza.
