Awesome time, great food, great music, learned a lot of Hawaiian history, spectacular sunset and saw raw pilot whales as a bonus!
Jennifer_N, May 2024
Everything was excellent about this cruise and I'd highly recommend the experience to anyone. The food was delicious, the crew and service was top notch and the live music was wonderful. Love that after dinner he moved into more dance songs. We had so much fun and the sunset was romantic and stunning.

When we booked this cruise, we expected to have a table to eat your dinner. However when we arrived on time to our destination all table seating was already taken. We had to eat our meal on our laps on very rough seas. Some of our party got motion sickness and could not eat their meal at all. The staff was very friendly and tried to help us but were limited by the size and style of this boat as it did not seem designed as a dinner cruise boat. We would not recommend this cruise.

We feel for you and it is unfortunate to read that you experienced motion sickness.
For our valued readers if you know you have the propensity for motion sickness an over the counter motion sickness remedy is recommended at least an hour before boarding.
