Oahu
Very chill evening. The crew was very laid back. We hada clear view of the fireworks, all while enjoying the a few adult beverages and making new friends and memories.
Everything was smooth sailing from our pick up at the Hyatt to being delivered back to the Hyatt after. Boarding was quick and easy. We had a member with mobility issues and even though the boat was rocking a little bit while going through the buffet she made it safely back to her seat with all her food still on the plate. Our waiter was Ryan and he was great. Very efficient and he loves to dance. He led us on a music train around the room, then got up and danced on the stage.
Food was decent, what I will say is it is typical buffet food. Nothing stood out as a WOW. The entertainment was good and lively. Also typical Polynesian dances if you've been to a Luau. Fireworks at the end of the night were spectacular and watching them from the water was a highlight.
If bus pick up is near where you are staying I would say it is worth the money.
Really wonderful to upgrade to this awesome dinner schedule
Sunset views from the deck were absolutely stunning, and the buffet had a great variety of delish foods!
Overall a fun night out with great food, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable show.
Wonderful evening!
Delicious dinner, polite efficient staff
My companion boarded for the first time. Unfortunately, we couldn't see the sunset due to the weather, but the live music, food, and the night view of Waikiki were wonderful and felt extraordinary. There were also many newlyweds on board. There was a photo service (limited to Japanese customers?), and we received our pictures in a nice frame. I think it will be a great keepsake.
同伴者が初の乗船。生憎の天候でサンセットは見られてませんでしたが、生演奏や食事、夜景のワイキキなどの非日常が良かったです。新婚旅行の方も大勢おりました。写真もサービス(日本人限定？)があり、台紙に入れて貰えました。良い記念になると思います。
Once you head offshore, the boat tends to sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to seasickness, it would be wise to take some motion sickness medication in advance.
沖合に出ると割とゆらゆら揺れますので、船酔いされる方は酔い止めを予め飲んでおいた方が無難かと思います。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu as a couple. We are very pleased that you both enjoyed the five-star cruise. It is an honor for all of our staff to have been able to help create wonderful memories for you in Hawaii. We also appreciate your very positive review. We look forward to welcoming you again.
この度は私共のスターオブホノルル号にご夫婦でお越し頂き誠に有難うございました。ファイブスターでのクルーズをお二人で満足して頂き大変嬉しく思っております。そして、ハワイでの素敵な思い出作りのお手伝いができた事をスタッフ一同光栄に思っております。大変ポジティブな口コミも有難う御座います。又のお越しをお待ちしております。

The waves were really strong, and I got seasick... I definitely regret not watching from the beach. Also, both the reception and the boat staff only spoke English, so I couldn't understand anything.
波が凄く 船酔いしました...,
浜で見てる方が絶対
良かったと 後悔です
また 受付も船の人も英語しか話せず
わからなかったです

We have been to Hawaii several times and I kind of wanted to do a luau again, but also love getting on the water… This cruise is both… Quite a good deal! Also always fun!
I would recommend doing this dinner cruise, one of your first nights in Hawaii.
The food was good and plentiful the entertainment was awesome
Room was a bit chilly
We were so disappointed with our Sunset Dinner Cruise this week.
Why oh why, when a company has it just right, do they get greedy and take away the finesse?
Having taken the steak & lobster package last year, we were so looking forward to repeating the experience - but it failed to live up to expectations.
The singer couldn't sing; we had to queue for our starter (only lettuce plated at the table; the lobster was not prepared, we were provided with lobster crackers and a pick (not what we were expecting, dressed in our best clothes); there was no finger bowl or wet wipe; our steaks were cold and the server came so infrequently we did not get to use two of our drinks vouchers.
Shame on you.
Retire the piano player (or ask him NOT to sing)
Bring back the 'prepared' lobster
I will write my impressions in bullet points.
The fireworks were viewed from quite a distance.
Was this just for this time due to the relationship with the surrounding boats?
On the way back after watching the fireworks, it took a really long time to return to the port. There were some events like dancing with participants along the way, but honestly, I don't think it was geared towards Japanese people.
箇条書きになりますが参加しての感想を書きます。
かなり遠目からの花火鑑賞でした
周りの船との関係で今回だけなのか？
花火鑑賞後の帰路ですが凄く時間を掛けて帰港で途中参加者でダンスしたりとか催し有りましたが正直日本人向けでは無いかな？
Viewing fireworks from a distance
This is not a tour aimed at Japanese people.
I would appreciate it if you could consider this.
遠目からの花火鑑賞
日本人向けツアーでは無いです
ご一考して貰えれば幸いです

The Polynesian show was super entertaining feeling very luau esque! Also sailing along the Waikiki coastline at sunset was beautiful, and the Friday night fireworks were the perfect finale!
This is a very fun even to do while in Hawaii. Staff was excellent!
The steak filet was extremely raw and the music must be updated!! Change performers!
The Friday add on of the fireworks at the end made the night extra special. Service was friendly and attentive, and the sunset views over Waikiki were stunning.
The Polynesian show was very entertaining, with skilled dancers. The boat service team was attentive, and the atmosphere was festive without feeling crowded. A fun and memorable way to enjoy a Hawaiian evening.
The sunset views from the deck were stunning, and the buffet offered a wide variety of tasty dishes.
We used this for our honeymoon trip as a couple. We opted for a plan that included round-trip transportation to the hotel for an additional fee. While it was a bit pricey, the service and experience exceeded our expectations.
The server assigned to us was cheerful and very attentive. We also purchased additional photos, which became great memories.
If you're looking to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Hawaii, this might not be the right fit for you. However, I think watching the sunset while listening to jazz in a calm setting is a unique experience that’s hard to come by.
There were about 10% Japanese guests, and while the menu had some items in Japanese, all orders and communication were in English. The introductions of the musicians and the engaging talks were also all in English, so having some understanding of the language would make it more enjoyable.
夫婦の新婚旅行で利用させていただきました。
追加料金でホテルまで往復送迎していただくプランに。
やはり金額的にはいいお値段でしたが、期待以上の対応と内容でした。
担当のサーバーの方は陽気ですごく気が利く方でした。
写真も追加購入し、いい思い出となりました。
ハワイの陽気な雰囲気を楽しみたい方は合わないと思いますが、落ち着いた雰囲気でジャズを聞きながらサンセットを見るのはなかなか出来ない経験だと思います。
日本人は約1割いるかどうか、メニューは日本語も記載ありましたが注文やコミュニケーションは全て英語。
ミュージシャンの紹介や、盛り上げるトークも全て英語なので多少理解出来ると面白いと思います。
If you dislike a lively atmosphere, definitely consider a 5-star option. The basic alcohol is quite strong.
It's essential to bring something light to wear.
賑やかな雰囲気が嫌な方は是非5スターに
基本アルコールはきつめです。
薄手でもいいので羽織れる物は持参がマストです。
Thank you very much for coming aboard the Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are truly delighted that you were overall satisfied with the Nova Five Star cruise during your honeymoon in Hawaii. We also appreciate the beautiful sunset photos you shared. It must have created wonderful memories in Hawaii that you will never forget. We look forward to welcoming you back to Hawaii next time.

I was busy filming a video, so I couldn't take pictures of the fireworks, but watching the fireworks while drinking beer on a dark boat was the best!
ビデオ撮るの忙しくて、花火の写真は撮れてませんが暗い船の上からビールを飲みながら花火鑑賞は最高でした
Having a drink in hand while listening to music and watching fireworks from a great spot is the best!
いい場所からのお酒片手に音楽聴きながらの花火は最高ですよを
マハロ、素晴らしいアクティビティのセンスを持っていてくれてありがとう！私たちもこれがワイキキでの最高の席だと同意します。そして、あなたの画像を共有してくれてありがとう！
Mahalo for having such excellent taste in activities! We agree that this is the best seat in Waikiki, and thank you for sharing your images!

We booked the Friday night fireworks cruise for Halloween. We got married that day and this was a fun way to celebrate with our adult children. The cruise was fun and the kids enjoyed the open bar. The fireworks were great.
You load the boat on the beach so wear shoes that are easy to slip off.
We got married an hour before the sunset Catamaran cruise. We were so excited to finish the day with a champagne toast and the Hilton fireworks show from the boat. Great music, great group of happy passengers, the sailing crew were vibing with us. It was a beautiful night.
The only thing wrong was my new husband's foot was bleeding. The staff will tell you to take off your shoes before the short walk on the beach to clamber onto the boat. Rethink removing your shoes. We don't know what he stepped on, but he sheared off some skin. Now he can't walk, drive or work according to the wound care specialist. We have been home for 3 weeks and he's still showering with a bag over his foot.
Despite the barefoot calamity, the ease of booking was great. The price was reasonable. The boat was clean and comfortable. Everything was on point. I truly would recommend this cruise to just about anyone.
Getting married in Hawaii was the absolute best. The wedding, the sunset, the boat, champagne, fireworks... it was almost a Perfect day!!
Consider keeping your shoes ON.
The pick up from he hotel was seamless and boarding the cruise ship was quick. Table service was slow but the food was excellent. The sunset and following fireworks was a great experience and I would recommend this adventure
The sunset was also atmospheric, and the performances, music, and food were delicious. You can also see fireworks before returning to port. I recommend it for newlyweds and couples.
サンセットもムードありますし、演奏や音楽、食事も美味しかったです。帰港前には花火も見られます。新婚さんやカップルにはおすすめです。
The boat sways more than I expected, so if you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to take some anti-nausea medication in advance.
思ったよりゆらゆらと船が揺れるので、乗り物酔いする方は、事前に酔い止めを飲んでおいた方が良いです。
Thank you very much for visiting our Star of Honolulu with your spouse. We are honored that you enjoyed the dining and entertainment at Nova Five Star, as well as the sunset and fireworks in Hawaii.

The sunset, the night view of Waikiki, the food, the gathering of people from around the world, the singing and performances, the staff's service—everything was great. Since it was Friday, there were also fireworks. I received a commemorative photo, so I want to share this story with my family while showing them the picture.
夕焼け、ワイキキの夜景、料理、世界の人が集まっている状況、歌と演奏、スタッフのサービス、すべて良かった。金曜日だったので花火もあった。記念写真をいただいたので、家族に見せながらこの話をしたいと思います。

A beautiful night. Great food. Great entertainment. Saw the spectacular fire works and the skyline night lights of Waikiki. Drinks included in the package was a bonus.
A must do activity if in Waikiki.
This cruise beat my expectations. The food was amazing and there was so much that none of us could finish. The outlook and entertainment were fantastic. My kids even got up and danced at the end and my 15 year old daughter told me several times throughout the night how much she enjoyed herself.... a pricey outing that was worth it...
We just booked the standard package and sat on the middle deck and it was perfect
The staff were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The DJ's song selection was also fantastic! I was able to spend a valuable time that I couldn't enjoy on a regular cruise, and the sunset was beautiful—overall, it was just the best!
スタッフが気さくで楽しく盛り上げてくれました。DJの選曲も素晴らしい！
普通のクルーズでは楽しめない貴重な時間を過ごすことができたし，サンセットもキレイで、とにかく最高でした！
Aloha, thank you very much for participating in the Sunset Cruise Tour. We were very pleased to see your kind words about our staff and DJ! It is very encouraging for all of us to know that you had a special and enjoyable time on our cruise. We look forward to the day we can share another beautiful sunset and music with you again.
Mahalo! 🌺

美しいサンセットと音楽が織りなす時間を、またぜひご一緒できる日を楽しみにしております。

hot on the first hour of the ship. but the rest of the night was fabulous.
I usually practice yoga, and I was interested in SUP yoga, but I hadn't had the opportunity to try it until this trip to Hawaii, so I signed up.
On the day of the activity, it didn't rain, and the temperature was fine. I had to carry the SUP board to the beach myself, and it was quite heavy.
The instructor was not Japanese, but they explained everything in detail, and there were no issues before or after the session.
During the SUP yoga experience, it was quite windy, and there were times when it was hard to hear the instructions (it was dark at night, which made it hard to see), so that was a bit challenging.
The activity itself is something you can't usually experience, and all the participants (except for us, everyone else was foreign) had a lot of fun.
Especially at the beginning, trying to jump on the board and rotate 90 degrees to return was difficult for everyone. Only one young middle school student from a family managed to do it, while the rest fell into the sea and enjoyed trying.
Thank you for the unique experience of yoga that I can't usually have.

This is the 2nd time in 2 years that I have done this catamaran cruise to watch the Friday night fireworks from the water. This time I invited friends who are locals to join me. They were impressed. The crew is amazing. The drinks are great, the view is spectacular. Unfortunately the fireworks show seems to get shorter every year. HOWEVER, that is not the fault of the crew. It’s still an amazing evening and I will do it again next trip despite the fact that I typically stay at the Hilton and could see the fireworks from my condo or from the beach, but doing it with Ke Kai takes the whole experience to a whole new level.
