This is my second time on this ship. Loved it the first time and was not disappointed the second time! I have been through Hawaii many time over the past 25 years, so only did one shore excursion over the week. Consequently I spent most of my time onboard. We Got to the port around 11:00 and were on the ship by noon. Had lunch at the Skyline rather than fight the crowd at the buffet. Service was prompt and food was delicious. I purchased my soda package at the John Adams Coffee Bar as soon as we boarded and the bartender remembered my name for the rest of the cruise!
I went to some of the craft activities and the activities crew were very pleasant and helpful at all of the.
The Hawaiian Ambassador, Kaulala, was awesome! I went to the lei making classes and the Hawaiian language class and enjoyed them all a lot. He even went out of his way and spent 45 minutes of his own time to teach me how to do a different kind of lei that I had mentioned that I had seen!
Very clean and plenty of room to put your stuff.
The tour guide was knowledgable and fun. The view from the top was awesome. Didn't take the sunrise or sunset excursion, went in the middle of the day. Had a great time!
Took the free shopping shuttle to the Anchor Cove shopping area. Had a nice time poking around in the shops. Recommend the Creamy Macadamia Nut Pancake at the little restaurant in the shopping area near the ABC store. It is awesome!
