This was our first cruise with lots of sea days. I was pleasantly surprised to find many activities that interested me. The staff was great, the food pretty great. I’m a vegetarian and the choices were rather limited at times, but my waiter would bring me Indian curries from a different dining room if I didn’t like the menu choices. Very, very accommodating! The entertainment was exceptionally good...usually two different shows each night and the lounges also had excellent musicians. Even with not so good weather it was still very enjoyable.
The shore excursion in Hilo was really good...only about 14 people. It was the crater hike; I was a little worried that it would be too hard but that was definitely not the case. Anyone in reasonable shape could do it. The other two excursions we took were just middle of the road. Way too many people to really be able to enjoy them.
I wouldn’t recommend this cruise as a way to see Hawaii...time at each island was only long enough for a taste. But for a relaxing, lovely time I would definitely say go!
Very comfortable...plenty of room. Not enough little nooks for things though.
