Honolulu Senior Cruises Reviews

From the moment we boarded we knew this would be an experience like no other, and talking to other passengers everyone felt exactly the same. We had a junior suite with none of the extras as discussed on the website - eventually asking for dressing gowns. Cruise information on excursions was non existent and we were told to look it up on the internet if we wanted basic information (eg. how far to ...

Having had a wonderful cruise two years ago on Eclipse thought we would go to Hawaii have to say the Solstice is not a patch on Eclipse in every way. We knew we were in for a wait when we arrived and were told to go and take a seat and have a drink and snack, 3 hours later we were called on board only to be told that the rooms would be ready at 5.30, OK we know why they were doing this, due tot ...

We've sailed on Princess, Rhapsody and some P&O cruises so I'm comparing the ship to them. Overall I wouldn't sail with Carnival again as they don't compete. We had 3 kids 16, 13,11. There always some good points and bad so I will explain on each. An exhaustive embarkation about one and half hrs. The cabins were good and quite large. The cabin and restaurant staff good. Food in the ...

this was my first cruise ever , my fiance has also posted a review on here but i thought i would submit one from my point of view as well as i feel compelled to do so based on the experience i had . the pros : fast boarding ,decent food , superb service from our cabin steward conrado (it's been a very long time since i had excellent service with a smile). hawaii and our time spent off the ship was ...

Our 12 day cruise started in Honolulu, toured the Hawaiian islands for 7 days, 5 days at sea and ended in Ensenada, Mexico. We had cruised often before but not for 12 years, we had retired young and moved to Mexico so always seemed to be on holidays. Anyway after 10 years we decided to take a one month holiday, 2 weeks touring islands in Hawaii and end with this 12 day cruise on the Carnival ship ...

We were a party of 7 spread through 3 cabins. 2 with balconies, 1 inside cabin (it was the tiniest of any of the 5 cruiselines we have been on -- though it was well-organized and kept neat by our stewards). We flew straight to HNL and arranged for our own transfer to the embarkation area. Which entrance to use? No signs or markings on various entranceways -- tried asking a surly Carnival-attired ...

This was our 12th cruise, our first (and last) on NCL. One fellow cruiser called it "the cruise from Hell". I wouldn't go that far, but the level of service was certainly not up to par. We stayed pre-cruise at the Marriott Waikiki, a very nice facility. Our travel agent had told us we could book shore excursions and dinner times at the NCL office at the hotel, but since we didn't book the cruise ...

I was expecting a small cabin but I was not expecting a cabin with the last traveler's garbage, three burned out light bulbs, damaged vanity, a bed that would not stay together, hair dryer that would not work, plug in that would not and oh yes a moldy shower curtain. So it was off to the basket ball / volley ball court / shuffle board to work off the displeasure. It would seem the sports equipment ...

this is not our first cruise with ncl but by far the worst the raw sewage smell throughout the ship especially in apt section was at times enough to make you sick. service was nonexistent the only way we found good service was once we found a waiter in the main dining room we requested him every night this make dining in the evening excellent the food was good for the most part. breakfast was a ...

This was my 6th cruise, my first with NCL. We sailed on Pride of Aloha with 3 young children. After reading all the reviews, we were a bit nervous about traveling with NCL. The check-in process was great!! From the time we arrived at the pier, to the time we got on the boat was only about 15 minutes. From that, it went downhill. We spent almost 2 hours waiting for our room to be ready. ...
