Friday night was awesome because you could see the fireworks from Waikiki. The food was amazing and the staff were very accommodating. The show during dinner was very entertaining as well. All around five stars. I would definitely recommend and go back.

It started smoothly when we arrived at the harbor. Check in was easy since they have our packet on the table right next to the entrance. When we boarded the ship, the crew helped us by showing us where to go. Next, the crew name Tina came and walked us to our table. Another crew member came and asked us what we want for the drinks after we settled down. Tina came back and introduced herself to us. The photographer came and took our pictures and looked for us at the end of the cruise. He walked everywhere to look for the people he took the pictures. They showed us where the life vests are before the ship leaving the harbor. Tina walked us to the food. She also participated in the dance at the end. It was quite an amazing experience. The view of Honolulu and Waikiki is spectacular from the ship. The sunset is worth every penny.

We enjoyed the most the Dancing Show. It will be nice to clear the tables to provide more spaces for dancers. We are planning to do it again as Hawaii resident. Aloha
