I was a little nervous after reading previous reviews listing problems with the American crew, restaurants and other complaints. I am here to tell you things must have changed!

We booked a pre-cruise package at the Marriott. You can take advantage of advanced ship check in and pre-book excursions and even the speciality restaurants. Be sure to double check the reservations once on board, though. They forgot to forward our dinner reservations and it caused some confusion. The lines at the Marriott's advanced check in were out the door at some times and other times there were no passengers to be seen. If there is line, go back in about an hour.

If you book a pre cruise stay at the Marriott, you are invited to an orientation breakfast at 6:30 a.m. before the cruise. They bus you to Maui Divers Jewelry where you are also given a tour of their factory and showroom and "invited" to buy their jewelry. The breakfast consisted of a banana, medium size muffin, juice and coffee. You could have seconds if you wanted. The main thrust of the breakfast is to sell the excursions. If you are curious about the ship's excursions, you might want to attend. If not, skip it and do something else for 2-1/2 hours.
