Itinerary: Hawaii
It should have been a lot cleaner, with more to do, and the food on the buffet was at times better than when we dined but, their were some surprising and unexpected amenities.
No Casino very disappointing even for a small time gambler. There was a very comfortable lounge very inviting I liked it a lot as did others. Pool was good, but a chore to get in.
Food was ok, buffet better than in the dining room sometimes, should of course not be that way. Service from some was good.
Cabin was inside first time, a little small, 3 closets, very small shower. our neighbors across from us like to slam doors.
Yes we did attend all shows, and they were all pretty good. some cruise staff were very multi-talented and very professional, others the extreme.
Take classes, hula, lei making, shell jewelry making, nice keepsakes to bring home also. W e went to all islands and did many excursions there are many there was a gym, no babysitting.
All passengers, were friendly and cordial,yes I would, they were interesting an from many different places.
