We came to Hawaii with some of our friends and their family, I had my wife and mother who is almost 93 years old. Yes we had the best time on the dinner cruise. Everyone was very pleasant and heartwarming to us. The food was outstanding as usual and we loved the drinks even though my mother does not drink she was a beacon of sunshine. Looking forward to our next visit to Hawaii and a repeat of 4 times on this wonderful Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by Hawaian dancers and showed to our seats in the dining area. We were entertained by a talented guitar player/singer and near the end of the evening by a full hula and dance with singing. The food was delicious, the evening wonderful as we cruised along the ocean seeing the lights of Waikiki light up as darkness fell. Overall, our best experience on the island!

So much fun! After viewing a great hula sow on dock, the crew welcomed us aboard and seated us at a beautifully set table with an awesome view of the ocean! Along with a maitai we had a delicious buffet dinner and tasty desserts. The sunset was all we could wish for and the entertainment was so just right. Can't wait to go again🌺
