This was our 31st cruise, the 4th with NCL, and first time in Hawaii.
Let me first say this was one of our favorite cruises, but THE worst ship we've ever been on. Ports were amazing, ship was a shame. Generally we look forward to returing to the ship as it's a floating resort. On the POA, we dreaded every time we had to reboard!
Pre-cruise we stayed at Embassy Suite Waikiki. Post-cruise we stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Highly recommend both hotels, just minutes from the port.
