This cruise was to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Neither one of us had ever been to Hawaii and we figured it would be the best way to see as much of Hawaii as we could in one trip. We were not wrong. This cruise was a truly amazing adventure.
We had done a lot of research about this cruise and frankly found a lot of negative reviews about the ship and the crew/staff. We found these reviews to be totally without merit in our experience.
We stayed two nights pre-cruise at the Hilton Hawaiian Village resort set up through NCL. This place is amazing!!! On embarkation day everything went as planned. We left our luggage in our room, went downstairs and met the bus to take us to the pier. We checked in for the cruise and boarded the ship. Later on that day our luggage showed up in our stateroom. We liked that we did not have to handle our luggage at all that day!!!
The cabin was small but had plenty of storage space. It worked well for just the two of us. The large balcony was wonderful.
