The Star Of Honolulu Cruz delivered on exactly what they said they would do. First off, the atmosphere was on point. After taking off in Collum seas, we were directed to the buffet. The buffet, was delicious with many options. Dessert, sweet and good to eat. Then we had entertainment. It was a good hula show with representation of several Polynesian cultures. Followed by catching a quick sunset and back to Port. We did option to buy the picture that we took during the cruise and found it to be a good addition to our Hawai memories. Highly recommend this event to anyone.

Food was Great! Entertainment was top notch! Especially enjoyed when they played music such as YMCA and everyone from all different cultures sang and danced together. What a wonderful world this could be if we all got along like this everyday! It was a great way to end our trip. Crew was the best--Mahalo!!

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.
