All Reviews for Sunset Dinner Cruises

The show was very good. The meal was OK, with the crab legs being excellent, while the steak left something to be desired. The dance afterwards was a genuine "hoot"!!!

We came here on our honeymoon and we had an awesome experience with Ocean Joy Cruises. We scheduled for the shuttle service and the bus was right on time to pick us up from our hotel. There was a little traffic to Ko-Olina but wasn't too bad. The bus driver kindly guided us through the entire ride and it was comfortable. The cruise staff were friendly and generous. They provided everyone with ginger pills to avoid motion sickness. Snorkeling was great too. Too bad that we didn't get to see the turtles but it was fun! The food wasn't fancy or anything but it was delicious and that first sip of an icy cold beer after snorkeling was heavenly. While we were having dinner, we got to see the group of dolphins swimming right next to our cruise which was phenomenal. The sunset, of course, it was breathtaking moment. My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise and we will definitely come back with our family in the future.

first of all, people working on the boat was awesome, they were very very friendly, especially guy name mason was funny and very active and he was there every moment when we needed him
the boat was not too big and luckily we only had less than twenty people so a lot of room normally around forty people on the board. I suggest to take a pill before you go on because it really help you not to through up.
snorkeling was fun experience and they teach you everything you need to know and fun part was when you go into the water they feed the fish so the fish can come to you I'm talking about a lot of fish and it was so amazing and beautiful when can I get to see that many of fish.
after snorkeling it's cold right but this boat has warm water so you can take salt water out in warm water, that was pretty good idea for help from cold and windy weather.
the boat had every drink you could think of like from hot coffee to cold soda to alcohol beverage and people working on the boat took turn to be a bartender and they actually make good tasty drinks but just let you know that alcohol is only served after snorkeling.
I gotta talk and tell you about the food. it's most delicious Hawaiian pork bbq burger and charcoal grilled chicken was so so good and fresh Hawaiian fruits was one of my favorite
during the diner time captain called out to come out and we went out and guess what?!! dolphins were swimming by, not just one couple of Dolphins
it was my first time watching Dolphins swimming around and that was amazing time.
captain was very generous he didn't want us to miss every moment so he was keep looking out and around the ocean if anything it might be interesting for us.
overall this was the best experience for us and I truly and definitely recommend to try, love to go on the board and meet them again.

Dinner and show was great. Boat is too crowded: too many people. Employees really worked hard and did a great job. Show was very entertaining and the dancers were fun. All in all a good experience.

The dinner was amazing, the filet was cooked perfectly and the crab legs kept on coming. We got a complimentary mai tai that was actually a very good drink (not that pre-mixed yucky stuff) and also ordered the $40 bottle of champagne. When dinner was finished, they put on a Polynesian show within the cabin that was loads of fun. Unfortunately the sunset was blocked by cloud cover but the show made up for it. The waitress was fantastic and the room supervisor was very attentive. Would definitely do this again! An additional note: they took the usual souvenir photo and charged $27 which we thought was way over the top...but it was framed beautifully (book-bound style) and ended up being the best photo of our entire honeymoon!! Worth every penny!

This was the most romantic experience.. Will do again at 50 year anniversary...

Food ia not that good!! The dinner tables are not that gate

My girlfriend and I went on a Star of Honolulu dinner cruise one Friday and we had a blast!
We arrived early and had some drinks before boarding the ship and were greeted with a performance of beautiful Hawaiian dancers. They kept dancing all the time while people were boarding, it was so pretty.
On board everybody was very friendly and welcoming, it felt great. They had to manage a lot of people getting on the ship but the staff seemed relaxed and genuinely happy that we were on board. Our server was particularly sweet, she worked so hard all evening. Although she was incredibly busy she even took the time to chat with us (we both share the same name and were joking around about it). The welcome drink was great (Mai Tai)! And dinner as well. It was so much to eat I was totally stuffed at the end. Steak, veggies, mashed potatoes, and crab legs as much as we could eat (warning: you will think you can eat more but it's already so much you cannot!). All finished off with yummy ice cream desert and coffee. The welcome drink was included, additional drinks had to be paid for but the prices were absolutely reasonable for the type of cruise! The route was beautiful and took us out towards Diamond Head. Even though there were a lot of people on board there is enough room to walk around and get a good spot to watch the sunset or take pictures. Later they started an evening show with lots of different costumes which was fun! We sat very close to the performance and they were again beautiful to watch. After the show they even encouraged everybody to stand up and dance! That was so much fun. Some people were shy but the crew had so much energy themselves they danced and danced and got many people up. Time just flew by! It was so beautiful to see the island and Waikiki/Honolulu from the distance, the lights, night setting in. Definitely recommended as a special trip for your vacation or a very romantic special date with your loved one :)

It was an enjoyable, memorable, unforgettable, and breathtaking Dinner Cruise celebrating my 60th birthday on August 31, 2014 with "Three Star Classic Steak & Lobster Dinner" all the way from Toronto, Canada. Me and 13 guests were very pleased from Customer Service (very friendly staff), food and beverages, and atmosphere. I will surely strongly recommend to all Canadians and non-Canadians. The greatest thing... I felt I was the "STAR" of Honolulu Dinner Cruise guest at the time, as I got lots of attention from STAFF and GUESTS greeting me "Happy birthday." In addition, one of the Polynesian dancers, Emmy C. my cousin daughter watching her dancing, added my day celebrating another Milestone. She and all her co-dancers and all the entertainers did a great job! Kudos!

I will also to thank VELTRA tours and activities Company especially my niece Emily Coloma who booked our reservation. I will surely recommend to all my friends, family, relatives and acquaintances globally. Mahalo!

Was everything that we expected and much more. Good food, great entertainment and a lot of fun. My husband and I went on this fabulous cruise not only for dinner and entertainment but for the beautiful sunset that occurs off the shores of Oahu. Would highly recommend this for everyone...couples, families, and singles!

Great boat, Great food we had the steak and lobster. Beautiful dancing and entertainment.If your in the area I recommend this for any one.

As you check in and arrive to the pier, you will be entertained with a Hula performance. You will then be directed with a pleasantly helpful staff to seat you with your tossed salad ready to be consumed. Also you will then receive a welcome Mai Tai which is very addicting and may cause you to purchase more. I had 4 of them. The all you can eat crab legs, steak, and macadamia nut ice cream was amazing. As the sun started to set, I found myself in a very relaxing area of the top deck. I was taking in the views of the ocean, land, and skies as I was just about ready to call it a night. Until we just about to reach the dock, all their employees started a party and danced like crazy. My date is not much of a dancer, but she enjoyed watching me entertain everyone. This night was a night to remember especially the service provided the staff on board. They will make sure you are always satisfied.

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

Very fun. Dinner was amazing. Show was amazing, crew was amazing. Very fun and I will do this again when I come back to Oahu.

Highly recommend! I've been to Hawaii multiple times and this was my first time on this dinner cruise. The views of Waikiki from the boat are a must. The show was great and so was the food.

The food was great, but the service was fantastic! Brina really made out night special! Thank you so much!

Had a great time! Would recommend to everyone! Show was way better than we expected! Dinner was great! Views were incredible!

Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service. The entertainment after dinner was fantastic. Truly, truly mesmerizing.
Would recommend without hesitation.

great entertainment and food. it was very enjoyable. the kids loved it.

Such a fun evening. Great food, drinks, entertainment, and service! Would highly recommend.

We alway do the star of Honolulu. Dinner is awesome. Lobster mmmm. Drinks. A little dancing at the end. With a great view

My wife and I had a great time! The food was good and the staff were all extremely polite and enthusiastic. The show was a treat and the dancers were all very gracious and patient about taking pictures with the guests. The views from the boat of the city and Diamond Head alone were worth the money. We'll surely do it again on our next trip back.

3 Star was really all-time famous.

seat was really tight due to many passangers.

food was not that great. I guess 5 star only would provide great taste.

other that that, the trip was safe, view - great. Thanks.

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

The cruise was very enjoyable for me and my wife. The atmosphere was welcoming and fun. Being on a ship in itself was exciting. The meal was well prepared and delicious. The staff were entertaining yet very professional. Many of my friends has take this cruise and I would recommend it for anyone.

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ～って感じでした。
