Mainly to see the islands on the the way to Hawaii. Ports of call were uninteresting and third world islands - nothing there. Also schedule was wrong as most ports visited were on public holidays, shops bars and restaurant were closed. Too much time spent at sea and nothing to do.

Swimming pools 3 in all were too shallow, too small and too crowded. Lawn bowling green was under repair, the gym overcrowded and walking deck too short to stretch a leg. Evening entertainment fairly good but ship lacked atmosphere and ship captain and officers had no personality.

Drinks package overpriced particularly the wine selection which was not good.

Food overall very basic everything tasted the same from curry to lobster... either tasteless stew ( not even curry in a hurry) or dried overcooked lobster. So too was the overcooked fish, roast pork, beef and steak which was always tough and totally inedible. The worst of this ship and cruise is that every other passenger after one week's cruising got sick and after five weeks still suffering from a virus that cannot be yet be identified. Read more
