We love aft facing balconies and 9 out of 10 times you will find us in one. The ship is quaint. Not too big or small, easy to learn. Bed was not at all comfortable. Shower small but water pressure and temp was great. Colors were soothing. Found the staff to be very nice and attentive. Food was adequate. Nothing really special but not terrible. Entertainment was ok. They need to get rid of the minibar items like most of the other cruise lines. Best blackout curtains on the seas! Water packages were crazy pricey. And the drink packages are priced terribly high. We were not fortunate to receive those free. Specialty dining is a must in our opinion. Since the Iridescent if America is the only game in town for sailing from and back to Honolulu you have to be willing to pay a premium for this cruise. It's not a cruise I wish to repeat for that price.
