Boarded ship in Honolulu and was onboard within 30 minutes. Went straight to Grand Epernay dining room for lunch. Bags arrived promptly except 1 which went astray but turned up early evening.
Stateroom was Concierge 2102 up on the 12th Floor nearest the lifts. DO NOT choose this cabin as it has a storeroom right next door and then a ladies toilet. Being located close to the lifts was handy, but the lift bells were going throughout the night. All in all a very noisey cabin that should not be classed as Concierge. The afternoon Canapés served in the Stateroom are embarrassingly bad and it would be best they not serve them at all.
Chose 1st seating in the main dining room. Table was located under the stairs and we were separated from the rest of the dining room, no atmosphere at all. We saw the Maitre de and he managed to change us.to anytime dining which was fantastic. Food was of a high standard. Visited the 3 select dining restaurants which were amazing.
Very noisey cabin. Would never choose this cabin again. Fantastic location, but did not get a lot of sleep.
Stayed at The Embassy Suites by Hilton for 3 nights prior. Fantastic hotel in a very good location.
Took the tender but did not get off.
Had a stroll around town. Been here before so did not do a lot.
Went to a private swimming area near the island. Very nice.
Just wandered around town and went for lunch at the viaduct.
