Everything was better than expected. The ship is lovely and well maintained. Cabins are small, but have lots of storage - we had empty drawers! The food was better than expected, though if not in a hurry I'd skip the Aloha Cafe as it is a glorified cafeteria. We didn't encounter one crew member that wasn't friendly or helpful. On more than one occasion when we were lost they escorted us in the right direction! The waitstaff in the Skyline and Liberty restaurants went out of their way to make sure we were happy and volunteered to replace food if we seemed to not like it (sometimes we were just overfed!). Room Service was prompt and better than some nice hotels I've stayed in. We went to a few shows and classes and all were fun. If you read up in advance you would know about the extra charges and that excursions were better off made privately. Hawaii is gorgeous, but expensive - again we went knowing that. If I could I'd go again soon.
