We chose this cruise as it involved no flying - LA to Hawaii and back. Embarkation very smooth. Seas very rough the first two days (20 ft waves said the Captain) but then spotted out and warmed up for the rest of the trip. Overall staff was excellent, very animated and eager to please. The Star Princess was not overcrowded even though sold out. They kept it very clean. For a ship just out of dry dock though, it had a number of faults. In particular, one elevator dead the whole cruise and a second would not go to the buffet deck. On a cruise with a lot of elderly folks who could not use the stairs this is not excusable. The wife and I did not like the new mattresses - we like a firm one and the new one was like a cotton ball, no back support at all.

Food on the whole was good - the two pub lunches were great. But the food seemed a notch down from our last cruise in 2016.

The destination experts and speakers were very good. Activities were many and varied going to the islands, seemed to slack off some on the way back. But not nearly as much arm twisting to buy stuff as on our Panama Canal cruise. Shows were good but not great - except for the really fantastic magician.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BC

Cabin was spotless. Much larger balcony than I had ever seen. Having USB ports in the bedside lamps was a very appreciated feature. Our refrigerator never would make the water cold. Shower microscopic as always but I used the ones near the spa - much bigger.
