We chose this particular cruise because we wanted to experience 4 of the Hawaiian Islands within a 7-day time period. We had a wonderful time. The ship was beautiful, the staff was so friendly and attentive and the food was very good. Everyone on the ship was friendly and we got to explore 3 islands. We were unable to go to Hilo due to the weather, but the staff went to plan B when we found out we had to stay on the ship for the day, making sure there were many activities that we could participate in. Our room was really nice and cleaned every day by a terrific staff. The entertainment was topnotch. We did excursions at each port and enjoyed them all. We didn't want to come home, that's how much fun we had. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to experience a part of each island. Before we got on the cruise, we went to Pearl Harbor - everyone needs to go there. The day we got back from the cruise, we hiked up to Diamond Head. Beautiful.
