Personal Background Information - My husband has been wanting to take me to Hawaii for several years. After a lot of research, including many reviews here that complained about the POA, we decided to fly to Honolulu to take the cruise which departed on our 17th anniversary.
Travel To Port of Embarkation - The flight was very long and I got a pulled muscle as a result of sitting for almost 9 hours. I would recommend first class seats, if possible.
Embarkation - We went from the flight directly to the ship, which I think was a mistake. We wish we would have had time to adjust before the cruise. The embarkation process seemed very disorganized to us and signs that were not correctly directing you.
Small balcony stateroom, tiny shower, shoddy maintenance (table broken, sliding glass door hard to open, stains on hideabed cover), balcony small, smokers next door.
