Hawaii Cruise Reviews

I've sailed with Viking before and honestly, won't cruise with anyone else. The ship is marvelous. The support before and during the cruise is professional and total. The staff are unfailingly helpful and pleasant. The excursions well planned and organized. A well written daily newsletter (Viking Daily) provided information about all the goings on for the next day so you have time to decide what ...

We chose this itinerary because we had done a Viking river cruise and thought having a journey with more relaxing time onboard would be very luxurious and relaxing. The accommodations are nice, spotless and relaxing. There are many areas to spread out on the Star. Many places to socialize, have a drink or seek privacy and read a book. Housekeeping services were exceptional, our room steward did a ...

This was my first cruise with NCL. I was impressed. The highlight of the cruise was my daily interaction with the fantastic bar staff at the John Adams Bar. Cymone, Jennifer, Sam, et al could not have been friendlier. My buddy and I started every day at the JA Bar, and the service was consistently excellent. The dining options were very good as well. The buffets were stocked with a ...

Laundry: Yep, I am not paying 1.99 for 1 piece of underwear. On day 2 in Maui go to Kahului Laundromat. They only take cash so be prepared (1 roll of quarters did a large load of laundry and 30 minutes of drying time). It was an hour out of the trip and the right call for us. If you flew in early, then that should be enough to get you through the rest of the cruise. Taxis: You are better off ...

We were on the Discovery for 15 days. A wonderful time. The cruise director Cole was the very best So friendly and funny. His boss the entertainment officer was so nice. His hole entertainment people were nice and funny The food was plentiful and good/ Great lemon cookies. Cabin was nice and had balcony door open all the time.The fellow passengers seemed also to to be having great ...

As a cruiser who has cruised with Princess for years now, I was not happy with recent changes they have made to their cruises which downgrade the experience (like turning the excellent casual restaurant Gigis/Alfredos into a added cost venue) so I was bracing myself on my recent cruise to Hawaii, thinking that I might have to find another go-to cruise line. I was happy to find that although there ...

We are a family experienced in cruising. Since we reside in Fl we are frequently taking cruises ( 5-6 times a year) on any vacation / school break opportunity. All our previous cruises destinations were out of the USA: Mexico, all parts of Caribbean, Central America, Panama, etc. It's been our dream to visit Hawaii for years, and we finally booked this trip without reading any reviews or having ...

My husband and I enjoyed our cruise on the Spirit. We embarked in Honolulu with minimum wait times. It was less than 30 minutes from the time we were dropped off at the dock until we were sitting on the ship. The Hawaiian islands were beautiful. We toured the Waikiki Aquarium and ate at Duke's the day before we got on the ship in Honolulu. We walked around town by the cruise port in Kauai and ...

We thought this would be a wonderful, relaxing cruise. Embarcation took hours, even with a designated time to arrive. I had expected that it might be a little cold or rough going out of the Golden Gate, which it was, but it only got worse. I had tried to find out what a Pacific crossing would be like, but I couldn't find any information. It was cold and very rough, day after day. The ship ...

16 day Hawaiian cruse. We have cruised with other cruise lines multiple times. Complete disappointment on almost every aspect.. food entertainment, staff, customer service, and the boat itself. Our first time with princess, but others in our group has sailed with Princess 8 times in past and they were also highly disappointed and stated it was completely different then years past. Something has ...
