Best encounter with Captain Stefan!!! - Captain Stefan guided us around the ship. I was very good at Japanese and liked it. I was so happy to be shown the outside of the 4th floor, to see the stars, and to be treated to juice. He was very kind and funny and had a good time. I was glad that he learned it by attending twice during his trip. The rice was very good, and the dancing, singing and music were wonderful.

Nice way to start the New Year - The server Mia was excellent and the food was very good. The only regret is that the boat should have given us a glass of champagne to ring in the new year. The lack of music when the fireworks were going off was a bummer. Otherwise the boat was very nice

Too crowded and not worth the money - This sounded like a great way to spend New Year’s Eve for our first trip to Hawaii. Not so. The staff was great but there were way too many tables set up that no one, even the staff, could comfortably get around. We basically had to stay in our seats from the time we got on the boat until dinner was over. The tables were so squished together we could not even see the show that was put on. We had our salad at 9:30 when we boarded but didn’t get our main course until 11:15. The food was cold. We were served our dessert after midnight when we returned to our seats from watching the fireworks but our table was still full of all our dinner plates. It was really cool seeing the fireworks with the lights of Honolulu in the backdrop, but not worth the price we paid for the dinner cruise.

Dump of a boat don’t waste your time - Worst ever. I should have known by the over abundance of people this would be bad. This ship was way too crowded and majorly understaffed. The food was terrible cold and unappetizing. Also the service was terrible. I do not recommend this cruise.
