Honolulu Cruise Reviews

We enjoyed it, in particular visit to The Polynesian Cultural Centre. ...

Stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village both before and after the cruise. Nice property but way too many people. Check in both times took over an hour or more (crazy lines and slow check in). I would book my own hotel and transfers if I had it to do over. ...

Took a Princess excursion to shore and then the Pali. Had been raining hard but ceased when we got there. Went into Diamond Head. Did not know this was possible. Always wanted to hike up to top. Would have been disappointed to see a parking lot, vehicles and buildings inside at bottom of crater. Returned to ship for lunch and then took a cab to Waikiki.

Two day made for an excellent stop. ...

Spent the day at Waikiki beach. So much to do you can’t begin to see it all. ...

Fantastic city. Traffic is terrible. Plan extra time for any excursion. ...
