We chose this cruise because in our opinion it is an economic, easy way to see more than one Hawaiian island in a week. (We had done this cruise several years ago as well as previously having done a "land" trip around the Hawaiian Islands). On the land trip we found that we wasted a lot of time at airports and changing hotels and finding places to eat. The cruise eliminates a lot of wasted time. It's a great way to "sample" the various islands to determine which one to go back to for a more "concentrated" vacation.
The cruise:
Embarkation and Disembarkation were efficient - we were on the ship less than 20 minutes after we arrived at the port.
Adequate for 3 adults. Not highly obstructed. Kept VERY clean by our excellent steward.
A few strange noises (not just the usual creaking) when the seas were a little rough at night.
