Pride of Aloha (sailing April 1, 2007)

[Finplan]

My wife and I are new to cruising... this will be our first. I have viewed many differnt reviews- some good and some bad. I am looking for any recent people that have crusied this year to give us an opinion and answer a few questions. Basic questions I know, but I am asking anyway.

1) If we rent a car, how do we get the car rental offices?
2) What drinks are actually included on the ship? Is pop, juice, milk extra?
3) What is the menue on the buffets? Any seafood?
4) Any night life? Is it any good?
5) Excursions: We are going to Kipu ranch for ATV Waterfall Tour in Kauai... car rentals in Hilo and Kona (any other suggestions)and going for the Molokai Crater Snorkel (any suggestions for which operator to use).

Any assistance would be appreciated.
