Hawaii Cruise Reviews

I only have a few observations: Overall, the staff was genial and helpful My room steward was excellent, well trained and responsive. Bar service in the Chartroom was expert, cheerful and well trained; they ran out of my preferred brand. The competence of the Wine Waiters in Britannia was very uneven; some were excellent and others needed more training.I also perceived a shortage of ...

I have been on over 20 cruises with many different companies. I use to put Princess up there with the best of them but not any more. I am a coeliac and the choice of food for us was so bad, there was nothing after the dinning room closed in the evening. The bakery had 1 thing everyday which was a rice pudding or yogurt mousse sort of thing. They displayed a lovely choice of filled sarnies, home ...

This was part 2 of a back to back. We had transit passes and took off early morning for a long walk in San Francisco. After significant improvement on Mexico sailing things really fell apart again on this Hawaii sailing. Firstly the noise level on ship in every venue is so amped up that there is barely a quiet area anywhere just to have a conversation. IT IS DEAFENING. You can clearly hear ships ...

Have been on a number of cruises, this is the second time on Norwegian. My friend and I had Hawaii on our bucket list for awhile and planned to cruise and then spend some time on Oahu. The check in was a little slower than anticpated, and we didn't get all the maps and planners. Which was a challenge as the app is not great. We boarded the boat and enjoyed exploring the few areas that ...

This was our fifth time on the Koningsdam. We are four star mariners and have always enjoyed Holland America. Not this time. The embarkation was a nightmare. I've never experienced such long lines and extended wait times. The cabin was fine, the entertainment OK, but dining was very difficult. They only have a few fixed time dining slots which go very quickly. We were left with ...

We chose this particular voyage to sail out of San Diego (first time) and escape the winter cold to Hawaii. Having been on 16 prior Princess ships, we had learned to expect the normal of "Princess perfect" for this voyage, also. Alas, this wasn't to be the case. Embarkation: Both the Diamond Princess and Disney Wonder were simultaneously in port. We discovered that the Port of San Diego is ...

We choose this particular cruise to Hawaii for the itinerary, after trying for the past two years to sail there and being cancelled due to Covid restrictions. While the sail was not a disaster sailing out of San Diego is a disaster. While being issued a boarding time by Princess an d arriving g a the scheduled time we waited 1 hour in line to drop off our luggage and then another 1 1/2 hours to go ...

This is my first attempt at writing a review so I hope it helps future cruisers. This was our fist Princess cruise and probably last, for us, the dining experience is 30% of the cruise, and honesty very important. Embarkation : We got lucky and rolled right through with a little unsolicited help from one of the ladies working the lines, but it looked like a free for all, caused mostly by ...

We were disappointed in this cruise. The entertainment was sorely lacking, the food was horrible. Everything tasted like curry or the flavoring from the link sausage. Embarkation and debarkation was a nightmare. Not the Princess we've cruised on before. Lack of crew, if you wanted a drink, go to the bar and get it. Princess wasn't ready to sail and they winged it the whole way. It's the ...

We chose the cruise because of the itinerary, travelled with two friends. We were all platinum members. We were looking forward to a relaxing time and excited for the planned stops. Stops at Bora Bora and Pago Pago were cancelled prior to the ships departure, very disappointing for many of the passengers. Understand this was out of Princess control. Embarkation at San Pedro was the easiest and ...
