Whole family enjoyed this experience. Small crowd so made it even more enjoyable. Food, alcohol drinks, drinks for the kids, food, watching the sunset out at sea, and the fireworks. The crew were welcoming and friendly, glad we made this part of our trip.

We had an incredible experience on the Star of Honolulu Waikiki Sunset Cruise - Steak and Lobster Dinner & Hula excursion. Not a dull moment. The fireworks show from the boat was awesome. The food was amazing. The service, exceptional. And the entertainment while cruising back to the pier was a bonus.
We will definitely recommend you to our friends.
Book the Premium package. It is well worth it.

As soon as we arrived we notified several members of the serving staff that we were missing our bottle of champagne that we ordered. However bottled chilled champagne was out already at other tables for guests who hadn’t arrived. The staff kept saying they were working on the problem, however it took over an hour into our cruise when they came out with 2 chilled bottles of champagne for two other couples who arrived 18 & 24 mins after we were seated!! They finally brought us a warm bottle of champagne even though we arrived before the other 2 couples. When we complained about the warm bottle of champagne the staff didn’t seem to know what to do. They took the warm bottle away and the champagne glasses they had poured. We asked why they gave the other couples chilled bottles and served them before us even though we boarded and were seated before them. The staff apologized but had no excuse! Finally a hour and 40 mins into the cruise the server comes out without with the same bottle they had taken away earlier. So they had put it into the fridge and now we are short champagne because they thrown out the warm champagne they had poured earlier. And to make things worse they brought us some empty dirty champagne glasses which they claim were ours from
earlier!!! They said they stuck our glasses into the fridge to cool them after they tossed out the warm champagne that was in them ! We demanded clean glasses and a full bottle of chilled. After another 18 minutes we FINALLY received our bottle of chilled champagne that should have been waiting for us when we boarded the ship! This just put a damper on the whole cruise. We literally had to quickly drink the champagne because we were returning to port soon after finally receiving our champagne. Couples had to share 1 lobster cracker ! That’s like sharing a knife or a fork! Unacceptable for the cost!
Don’t book this cruise ! Staff is incompetent! No we don’t recommend!

We booked this for our last evening on the island, and it was an amazing way to end our trip. The crew were all so nice, the entertainment was fun and interactive, and seeing the fireworks from the water on our final night was a great way to say farewell to the island.

At Five Star Dinner, there used to be a hula dance show, but now it's gone, and it's just jazz and piano, which was different from what I expected, so I was disappointed. The price is high, so I couldn't help but think, "Is this worth this price?" Also, the shuttle bus was playing old videos, and it hasn't been updated.
ファイブスターディナーでは、基本的にフラダンスのショーマ行っていたのに、今は無くなっていてジャズ?とピアノだけで、思ったのとは違ったので残念でした。お値段も高いので、これでこの価格かぉと思ってしまいました。また、シャトルバスも、昔のもののビデオを流していて、リニューアルができておりませんでした。ex)Twitter表記など。
Thank you very much for joining us on the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise with your spouse. We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the overall sunset cruise on the Nova Five Star. We are confident that you enjoyed the beautiful Hawaiian sunset, the fireworks on Friday, and the night view from the ship. Thank you for your feedback.

I chose the five-star experience as a reward for myself. The wonderful staff and their smiles made it special. Although I attended alone, the staff were considerate, and the other participants reached out to me, allowing me to have a very enjoyable time.
The drink tickets, which allowed me to choose from a variety of beverages starting with a toast of sparkling wine, were very smart and convenient. I initially ordered the Lava Flow, which I always enjoy in Hawaii. Next, I had red wine to pair with the prime steak.
The dishes were creatively prepared, starting with the appetizers, which were fantastic, and the meat was very delicious. The sunset, fireworks, and wonderful music all contributed to a truly memorable experience. I definitely want to come back with my family next time. Thank you very much.
自分へのご褒美に5スターを選びました。素晴らしいスタッフと笑顔。1人で参加でしたが、スタッフの方々がご配慮いただいたり、同じご参加されている方々がお声がけをしてくださり、とても楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
飲み物もスパークリングワインでの乾杯からたくさんの飲み物から選べる飲み物のチケット2枚はとてもスマートでわかりやすく便利でした。私はハワイで毎回いただくラヴァフローを最初オーダーしました。次は、プライムステーキに合わせて赤ワインをいただきました。
お料理も工夫されていて、アペタイザーから素晴らしく、お肉もとても美味しかったです。サンセット。花火。素晴らしい音楽。どれをとっても楽しい素晴らしい思い出となりました。次回は家族と是非伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました。

To start, Parking was really easy to find. We arrived early as we were staying about 25 miles from Honolulu. GPS took us right down to the ship. There is a parking lot right across the street from the Marketplace where the ship is docked. That was handy as there were 2 of us with mobility issues. I guess my daughter was the first to check in as our group of 5 were the first ones to be taken on board. The environment was festive and from casual to dressy. The food was delicious! The staff were very friendly and professional. We were celebrating our 50th Anniversary, so we had decided to have pictures taken. The photographer did a really good job and took quite a few pictures, including one on the upper deck which turned out well. The evening's entertainment was very enjoyable including the fireworks display set off over the water at Waikiki Beach.
We would definitely do it again.
I do suggest getting there at least a half hour early if you want to find a close place to park.

We did this dinner cruise on a Friday for the fireworks. They served lobster and steak for dinner, the lobster was a whole lobster, the meat was a little tough to chew, the steak was done to much. The show they put on after the fireworks was absolutely phenomenal, they got everyone involved. Even with the mediocre meal I still would recommend this dinner cruise.
Bring a light jacket, can get a little chilly.

I had participated in the 3-Star cruise several times before, so this was my first time on the 5-Star cruise. There was no welcome party on board, and the food was disappointing; in the end, they didn't even serve coffee. I felt that the atmosphere and food were better on the 3-Star cruise, so I will choose the 3-Star next time.
This was my first trip to Hawaii after COVID, but I noticed that the number of participants on the Star of Honolulu has decreased significantly. It felt like there was no longer the same vibrancy as before.
今まで何回か3スターに参加していたので初めての5スターの参加でした、船上でのウエルカムパーティー等もなく料理も期待外れ最後はコーヒーも出してくれませんでした。3スターの方が雰囲気も料理もよく感じました、次回から3スターにします。
コロナ後で初めてのハワイでしたがスターオブホノルルの参加人数がとても少なくなっていました、以前のような活気もなくなっていたように感じます。
Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it's good.
お金が高いから良いというものではないです

For our first overseas trip, I took my father and mother with me to Hawaii. We made reservations because there are fireworks on Friday, and I wanted to end our last night with delicious food.
As a result, we created the most wonderful memories and got great photos! We enjoyed delicious meat and seafood in an amazing location. With jazz music playing and the sunset right in front of us, we went outside to enjoy the photos and the sunset while waiting for our food. We were also able to see the fireworks perfectly.
Both of my parents were delighted, and when I asked them what was the best thing they ate in Hawaii, they said it was the meat and lobster we had on the last day!
Thank you very much! 😊
初めての海外旅行である、父と母を連れて3人でハワイへ。

The scenery is very beautiful, and you can experience a sensation that can only be enjoyed from a boat. The fireworks last about five minutes, but they were still quite moving.
You can choose between fish or meat dishes for your meal, but both were a bit dry and the taste was average. If you ask the staff, you can also take food home. Additionally, there are salads, drinks (no beer), and desserts included.
If you're someone who doesn't easily get seasick, you'll likely enjoy it. I tend to get motion sickness, so I took some medication, but I still felt a bit nauseous. There are two levels on the boat, and since I was on the second level, I think the breeze helped reduce my nausea a bit.
Before boarding, they take a photo of you in front of the boat. When you disembark, they print the photo for you, and you can buy it for $20.
There were no Asian people around, but the staff was kind, so I was able to enjoy myself without any particular discomfort.
景色はとても良く、船でしか楽しめない感覚を味わうことが出来ます。花火は5分程度ですが、それでも感動するものがありました。
食事は魚料理か肉料理が選べますが、どちらもパサつきがあり、味は普通です。スタッフにお願いすれば持ち帰りも可能でした。その他にはサラダ、ドリンク(ビールは無し)、デザートも付いてきます。
船酔いに強い人であれば楽しめます。私は元々乗り物酔いがしやすい方で、酔い止めを飲みましたがそれでも少し酔いました。1階と2階があり、私は2階であったため風に当たって少し酔いはマシだった気がします。
乗船前に船の前で写真を撮ってくれます。降りると写真を印刷してくれており、20$払えば買うことが出来ます。
周りにアジア系の人はいませんでしたが、スタッフが優しいため特に抵抗感なく楽しむことが出来ました。
It's better to take motion sickness medication. I think it's best to enjoy the scenery and not expect much from the food.
酔い止めは飲んだ方が良いです。
食事の味は期待せずに、景色を楽しむ船だと思っておいた方がいいと思います。

If you want to see the sunset before your meal, head towards the sunset side. If you want to watch the fireworks, move towards the fireworks side. I recommend moving early.
食事前の夕日が見える時は夕日側へ、花火を見る時は花火側へ、早めの移動をお勧めします。
