Not only were the views beautiful, but the staff was all accommodating and extremely personable! The three course meal was amazing and timed perfectly. I have done other sunset cruises out of Waikiki and this one was by far the most enjoyable and relaxing. We also saw 4 whales on the cruise!
I give this cruise & it’s crew a 6/6!

We went on our cruise last night and it was wonderful despite the fact that I got seasick. My husband and kids absolutely loved it. I was unable to eat my food but again, my hubby and kids said the food was amazing. The fish and short ribs were superb to them.
I regret not buying motion sickness meds. If you think you will get sick,please take meds a day prior and about 2 hours prior to your cruise. Now, about the staff. They are uhhmazinggg. They are very attentive and sweet. Make sure you have cash to tip them very good. Also, you need cash for the photographer if u want to buy your pictures.
It was nice meeting you folks, glad you had a good time.

I went on Prince Kuhio with friends and it was such a nice way to spend our Friday evening. It's the only dinner cruise that is open right now, and we were so happy with everything: service, dinner, boat. The overall vibe was friendly and chill, the crew was so nice, and dinner was served hot and had good portions. Also the generous slice of cheesecake was really good! They have a cute tiki onboard where you can order whatever you'd like. Only thing I'd recommend is to bring sea-sickness preventatives! I get seasick very easily so I made sure to take dramamine prior to the cruise and I am so thankful. We went on a day when the water was pretty rough and there was a lot of swell and although it was hard to walk around the deck, I didn't get seasick. I was very impressed with this dinner cruise and it's a great option if you want a change of scenery!
Glad you enjoyed the trip and the meal we enjoyed having you aboard.

We kept searching for dinner cruises that were open with COVID. We found this one and we were so glad that we did. It was awesome. The mai tai was excellent and the food was delicious. The owner of the boat was very friendly. The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. We would very much recommend taking this cruise if you get the chance. We even sighted a whale even though it was way too early in the season.
Thank you for the nice review, it was nice meeting you folks. And the whales sighting this early I am still talking about it was awesome.

You might be asking yourself if a sunset Cruise is worth it. I asked myself the same thing. I went with my wife and some family and had a great time. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The food was really good and had lots of options. The shows were very entertaining and some where quite funny thanks to the performers. Then the sunset was great. We went on a Wednesday and it was not many people. Felt almost like we had the entire ship to ourselves. Super fun experience overall.

We thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise! The Prince Kuhio is perfect for just sitting back with a good drink, relaxing, and taking in the views. I liked the choice of music; it really enhanced the aloha ambiance.
The servers were exceptionally attentive and friendly, they also doubled as the post-sunset entertainment--very impressive.
The water was a little choppy when we first got underway, but I like the feeling of riding over the waves. If you're prone to seasickness I would highly recommend going with the Prince Kuhio rather than a catamaran as the larger boat gives you a smoother ride.
If you're a sucker for imitating famous movie scenes, the Prince Kuhio is the best boat in Waikiki for reenacting the Titanic "I'm flying" scene where Jack and Rose stand on the bow of the ship. And the friendly crew were very obliging and took the picture for us.
Five stars for sure!
Love the movie scene comment, would like to say you are the only ones to do that BUT!!! Glad you enjoyed the trip

We had a great time on this sunset dinner cruise. The Steak and Shrimp were very good and the drinks were cheap. They also have a vegetarian option available if requested ahead of time. The staff were friendly and put on a little hula/firedancing show which was pretty entertaining. The boat itself was nice, I wouldn't call it luxurious, but nice. Swells weren't very big out there but the boat does rock pretty good so prepare ahead of time if you are prone to sea sickness. If you haven't seen Waikiki/Diamond Head from the water then you must check out the beautiful views. Overall nice cruise, nice views, nice sunset.
Glad you had a good time,

I participated in my first sunset dinner sailing. The meeting place is quite small, so you might overlook it... Be careful not to arrive too early, as there won't be any staff present before the meeting time. Since the maximum number of passengers is limited, I recommend making a reservation early. It's a sunset cruise, so you can see the romantic views of Diamond Head and the streets of Waikiki from the sea. The boat also raises its sails, so there’s no engine noise, allowing for a smooth drift over the water, leading to the evening fireworks.
初めてのサンセット・ディナーセーリングに参加。
集合場所はとてもこじんまりした所なので見落としちゃうかも・・・集合時間よりあまり早めに行くと係員が居ないので注意です。
最高乗船人数が少ないので早めの予約がオススメ。
サンセットクルーズなので夕暮れのダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキの街並みを海側から見れてロマンチック。船も帆を立てるのでエンジン音もなく、スムーズに海を漂い、夜の花火へ

Boarding and seating were accomplished efficiently, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Our wheelchair bound family member was accommodated.
The buffet appetizer table was disappointing over all. The fruit, pineapple, cantaloupe, and honeydew melon, was almost tasteless. The cheeses were non-spectacular.
Our server was efficient, and he worked very hard to serve multiple tables. The entire wait staff is to be commended for their courtesy, hard work, and good service.
The entertainers were very enthusiastic and tried hard to please the guests. The jazz performances were the best part of the entertainment. The "wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Aloha" was very cheesy.
The drinks were good, and the salad, lobster, and steak were all better than I had expected. The food was quite tasty, and servings were plentiful.

The overall experience was excellent, the people were friendly and the food was great, better than expected and they really fill you up with crab legs. Dislikes were bathroom locations being unclear and during fireworks people are everywhere to see the fireworks on one side of the boat and they smoke cigs in your face at the very top deck, gross.

I was able to smoothly change my reservation from a regular cruise to the vow renewal plan. I took a taxi to the port with plenty of time to spare. If I had arrived earlier, I might have been able to wait in a cooler spot, but it wasn't too hot waiting in the shade. My family coordinated our outfits, which felt a bit embarrassing at first, but once we boarded, everyone was dressed up, so it felt normal after a while. The ship is divided into levels based on the plan you booked, and you attach a sticker from the ticket you receive during check-in to your clothing. Before departure, we enjoyed a hula performance at the port. The boarding process was smooth, and our table was already assigned. The staff member in charge of our table introduced themselves in a friendly manner. The meal was a crab plan, and they brought the dishes to our table in order, starting with the appetizers. We could freely order sparkling wine and juice. We were guided for photo opportunities at our seats, and they took commemorative photos that were delivered to us before disembarking.
Since it was a vow renewal plan, the staff member guided us to a location closer to the ship's owner via the elevator. They were considerate even during the short waiting times. The ceremony was held with the busy captain, and although it was a small ceremony, it was quite lively. They even took photos with my smartphone, resulting in many embarrassing pictures. While some may choose to have their vow renewal in a wedding venue, I feel that choosing this option was a great decision, considering the cost performance.
After the ceremony, when we returned to our seats, there was a mountain of crab on the table. The hula show performed right in front of us in the aisle was breathtaking. On Fridays, you can watch fireworks from the deck. Everyone is there for that, so the deck gets very crowded. It's a good idea to prepare your mobile phone (with Wi-Fi) to avoid getting separated from your group.
Disembarkation was late, and the bus stop operated by the travel agency was far away, so I definitely recommend taking a taxi. Walking downtown by mistake is good for sobering up, but...
It became a wonderful memory.
普通のクルーズから、バウリニューアルプランへの申し込み変更もスムーズにできました。
時間に余裕をもってタクシーで港へ。もっと早ければ涼しい場所で待機できたかもしれませんが、日陰で待機でもそんなに暑くありません。家族で衣装をそろえて、少し照れくさい感じでしたが、乗船すると皆さんドレッシーなので途中からは違和感なしでした。船は、申し込んだプランごとに階層が分かれており、乗船手続きの時にもらえるチケットのシールを衣服に貼り付けます。出向前に港でフラ。乗船の案内もスムーズで、船内のテーブルは決まっています。テーブル担当の方が気さくに自己紹介。食事はカニのプランでしたが、前菜から順にテーブルに持ってきてくれます。発泡ワインやジュースを自由に頼めます。席での写真撮影を案内され、記念写真を撮影してもらえ、それは下船前に届けてくます。
バウリニューアルプランなので、ご案内の担当の方と一緒にエレベーターで船主に近い場所へ。ちょっとした待ち時間も案内係の方が気遣ってくれます。忙しいキャプテンとともにセレモニー。こぢんまりとしたセレモニーですが、十分盛り上がります。こちらのスマホで写真撮影もしてくださり、恥ずかしい写真がたくさんできあがりました。結婚式場みたいなところでバウリニューアルをなさる方もあるかと思いますが、コストパフォーマンスも含めて、これを選んでよかったと感じています。
セレモニーが終わって、席に戻るとテーブルにカニがテンコ盛り。席の通路、すぐ間近で次々と披露されるフラショーは圧巻です。金曜日は甲板で花火を見ることができます。みんなそれ目当てなので甲板はとても混雑します。仲間とはぐれないように携帯電話(Wi-Fi)がつながるように準備しておくといいです。
下船は遅い時間となり、旅行会社運営のバスの停留所までは遠いので、絶対タクシー利用をお勧めします。間違ってダウンタウンを歩くのは酔い覚ましにはいいですが。。。
とてもいい思い出になりました。
Thank you for using Star of Honolulu. We are truly delighted that you enjoyed the vow renewal plan. We also appreciate the helpful feedback and suggestions you provided. Our entire staff is committed to continuous improvement. Thank you very much.
この度はスターオフホノルルをご利用いただきありがとうござました。ヴァウリニューアルプランを満喫して頂き、心から嬉しく感じております。また、役に立つご意見や参考を沢山頂きありがとうございます。今後も改善に向けスタッフ一同努力を惜しまない所存です。本当にありがとうございました。
