The sunset was one of the...

Matthew_A, Sept 2023

The sunset was one of the best I’ve seen. The food was great, but the server seemed inexperienced, and forgot to give my spouse her drink on her birthday.

Okay experience

Maria_U, Sept 2023

The show was very nice! The jazz and Polynesian dancers were outstanding. The steak was very chewy and not good. Drinks were also mostly juice.

Incredible experience

Henrietta_D, Sept 2023

What a beautiful experience, the staff were so friendly and attentive, the entertainment was fun and lively, the food was sooòo good. The only thing I would change is the meat, my husband or I do not eat rare meat. But I would definitely come back!!!!

Amazingly beautiful!!

Mike_K, Sept 2023

We loved the food and the service. The show was amazing. The dinner was way more than expected. We loved the sunset and city scape views. This is one we would highly recommend

A taste of Hawaii

Rosiland_N, Sept 2023

We loved the dance show, and the jazz musicians and singer. The staff was wonderful and courteous. Dinner was delicious.

Nice Experience with great Fireworks bonus

Tawna_H, Aug 2023

The boat is very spacious. You can travel in between the decks but you are assigned to a designated area for food and show. Viator did not give us choices of which deck to purchase. There are different levels of service and food options. We had the 5 course dinner (it’s actually 4. They have a cheese and fruit tray laid out as appetizers on a side table ). Service is very friendly but bar/drink service is insanely slow. Took 30 minutes to get two drinks. We would have bought more but we couldn’t get served. There is a room with a buffet and a much larger show. I would have rather had that but not sure if Viator allows that option to purchase when we booked. Definitely go on a Friday night if you can. The Hilton does a fireworks show and you can see it from the boat. Really nice extra perk.

Perfect memory

Crammed in so tightly...

Oscar_E, Aug 2023

Crammed in so tightly that people kept knocking into the back of my wife, and there was so little room at the table, you couldn't squeeze another plate on it without knocking something off. Not that liquor is what makes a trip great, but it was clear from every other person i spoke with on the cruise, that the "premium" drinks were anything but that. Everything made with bottom shelf liquor and so little of it in fact, that nobody at our table even caught a buzz. The lobster was overcooked and i couldn't get the "low tide" smell off my hands afterwards. The tenderloin had good color at least, but the dry package beef gravy on top hearkened back to my public school lunch days. Overall, spend your money elsewhere.

Enjoyed the night

Mal_J, Aug 2023

Great night. Food was excellent. Show was ver good. Fireworks were an added highlight. We had a full boat. Service was a little show, which was to be expected. Definitely a must do on Honolulu

Champagne?

Michele_H, Aug 2023

The food was ok, but it's delivery was very disjointed and haphazard. There was at least one person at the table who had to wait far longer than everyone else to receive different courses. When booking, "champagne toast" is listed as part of the experience, but there is neither a toast, nor champagne! It's sparkling apple cider! A gentleman at our table ordered a margarita and was informed they didn't actually have the ingredients for that. The cruise itself was nice. Great views of Waikiki Beach.

Entertainment was good....

Lynn_C, Aug 2023

Entertainment was good. Food was average. Close seating was awful. Not nearly worth the price. Would not recommend to others.

A lot of money for what it is

Gabrielle_J, Aug 2023

Too expensive Food was ok The boat just stopped a few klms from the shore Disappointed with what was provided for such a large a amount of money

The truth.

Freya_H, Aug 2023

The food and entertainment was great, however, the drinks and service were sad. Even the portion for shots were terribly disappointing.

Awesome cruise

Jackie_V, Aug 2023

It’s entertaining and food was excellent. I definitely recommend this cruise to everyone! The check in was smooth!

Sunset and fireworks were...

Anna_V, Aug 2023

Sunset and fireworks were fun and memorable to see. The dinner wasn’t that great and the show the performers tried but def didn’t really need to be done. Would not repeat.

Wonderful dinner cruise

Dreaux_B, Aug 2023

The experience was absolutely incredible, from the food, the entertainment and the excellent service we received. Very well organized. All the employees were so nice and helpful. To top off the evening, the weather was perfect and we had an amazing sunset!! Would definitely recommend!!!

bland

william_g, Aug 2023

not good at all . bland food from walmart cheap foood. did not seem like a 4 star. better off eating off the floor

Don’t seat in small room on second deck!!

ConsueloConnie_S, Aug 2023

Paid $149 per person to sit in a back of the deck with a wall dividing the customers. Do not allow them to put you on the second deck in the back where they put the overflow! I booked a month in advance for 3 adults! Horrible! The food was semi ok! The lobster was good the rest was Beckie average. The jazz band was a one man band who played 5 minutes and left to play in the big ballroom next door. Hula dances next door and none in ours until 7 am show. Show was aww! Had to ask three times for a glass of water to tell me they ran out of glasses. Never got the water. These staff workers are overworked! They could not figure out where we were supposed to be seated and made us go up and down stairs until they put us in the hole!! Do not recommend to anyone!!

Sunset cruise

Robert_B, Aug 2023

The cruise was wonderful food was beautiful and the staff and service was great. The reason it lost 1 star was the entertainment the hula show was brilliant bit our room singer was a real disappointment. Other than that brilliant Friday is the best night for the fireworks

Wonderful cruise and show!

Marlyn_T, July 2023
