Just came back today from the hawaiian cruise. We had a wonderful time. I want
to make some suggestions for futire cruisers, so you don't waste your time
complaining and being in a bad mood, because you are in Hawaii!
My party and myself boarded the ship around 3 pm, there was no line at all.
There was no one in front of us, it took maybe 10 minutes and then we were free
to board. Those people that get there early or right at 1 pm, I can see that
they have to wait.
The waiters and waitresses in the resturants are all very nice, if you talk to
them you will hear that there are a lot of people that left because the work was
too hard for them. The reason it takes a long time to get your food (sometimes
not all the time) is that there are not enough staff. Don't be rude to them if
you watch you can see the are working their butts off.
The ports of call are great! The tours were all arranges very well, no problem
finding the tour locations, and all the tour operators were very friendly and
informative about the islands.
The ship itself was clean, I keep reading about dirty rooms and the public areas
being dirty, I have no idea where these people were, not on the same cruise as
me.
The shows were all very nice, if you go to the late show there will not be a
problem getting a good seat.
The last thing I have to stay is remember you are on vacation, in a very
beautiful place, chill out! I saw so many people getting mad at the stupidest
things, like when they ran out of towels this woman began screaming about never
going on this cruise line again.
We had a great time and this cruise was a great way of seeing the islands and
knowing which one we would like to go and visit again.
