Great way to island hop. However, the ship is old with continual problems with the toilets that would not work despite the best efforts of the maintenance crew. In attempts to address the problem the ship was held in port an extra day which robbed us of a day in Maui which was for us a primary reason to travel halfway around the globe on this trip. This problem was not isolated to just a part of the ship, it was everywhere leading to fowl smells, midnight searches for a working public toilet, and ultimately a UTI.

Food was mediocre. Specialty restuarants were not worth the money.

Beds were very comfortable. The ship has special activities for the kids during Christmas. The entertainment was not that bad. The excursions are very much a variety as there something for everyone, but you do have to book early as they sell out. Be aware that it rains a lot on the islands which will impact the excursions. Rain on volcano makes it impossible to see anything. Water run off from the mountains to the sea makes snorkeling spots have murky water making it impossible to see anything. We had 3 days of rain impacted excursions. Make sure you have something else to do.
