NCL’s second ship to sail round Hawaii, this ship started Hawaii itineraries in summer 2005. The ambience is laid-back and American in style. Excellent kids’ club, although the vast majority of users are from North America. Service is friendly and efficient.
Suitability
Because of its itinerary – the ship sails from and round Hawaii – this cruise will suit a particular clientele looking for a different cruise experience.
This is probably not the cruise for first-timers from the UK, and there are lots of Americans. Most people from the UK are couples.
Passengers who like to visit the casino while on a cruise should look at other options – there is no casino on board as gambling is not allowed in Hawaii.
Hints & Tips
There is no casino on board.
Gratuities are added as standard to your on-board account – these can be removed upon request.
Most UK passengers add on a week’s stay in a hotel in Hawaii.
