First of all the bus that picked us up was old and need some works done. A 45 minute drive turned into a 11/2 hour drive. We picked the sand bar as my husband and I both can’t swim. I was pleased that we got to do some snorkeling together. We did see some turtles as well.
Then it was the deeper sea snorkeling. I was so afraid of the deep sea. So we ended up waiting in the boat for over an hour.
There are actually a few coaches on the boat. If they would Guide us through that would be a lot easier.
We just felt left out from the whole group.

Overall worth it, the only thing is that the snorkeling site was nothing exciting and you could barely see turtles or any fish. The best part was the volleyball match.

The ship was almost full, mainly with tourists from the mainland United States. It was Friday night, and the fireworks from the beach near the Hilton Hotel were beautiful, even if just for a short time. The food was plentiful, with a buffet of fruits and cheeses as well as course meals, which was great, but unfortunately, the tables were small and the spacing between seats was cramped, which was disappointing. You can easily go outside to see the ocean, so I don't think it's necessary to request a seat with an ocean view. Two drink tickets are included, but there were few waitresses, and if you're not careful, you might miss ordering your second drink. I did give a tip, but hardly anyone around me was tipping.
アメリカ本土からの観光客中心に船内はほぼ満席でした。
丁度金曜日の夜でヒルトンホテル辺りの海岸からの花火が短時間ですが綺麗でした。
食事はフルーツ、チーズのバイキングとコース料理とで食べきれないほどあり、良かったのですが、いかんせん、テーブルが小さく、臨席との間隔がギチギチで残念。
海上が見える外へは直ぐに出られるので、特に海の見える席を指定する必要は無いと思います。
ドリンク券2枚付ですが、ウェイトレスが少なく、ウッカリしていると二杯目注文が漏れることに、、、。
私は一応チップを渡しましたが、周りほとんど渡している人は居ませんでした。

Our servers at the event made a huge difference. Although busy, they were attentive to the guests.
Table setting was elegant. Flowers decorating the meals were beautiful. Didn’t enjoy the drinks as much. Lava flow did not taste right.
Loved the lobster and steak. Seating was great.

The dinner cruise is worth it. We had the crab legs, steak, and bbq chicken. The crab legs were a little small, but everything else was very tasty. I would recommend this activity and may do it again if I go back to Oahu. The entertainment was also great and enjoyable to watch. The staff on board was also friendly and attentive.

I was worried about whether I could communicate in Japanese, but it was unfounded. I felt relieved because there were Japanese announcements on the shuttle bus to the port.

From the moment we boarded the ship, we were welcomed with dancing, and all the staff greeted us warmly! When they asked about our drinks for the toast, I couldn't catch the English right away, but they kindly used a translation app to help me. Their flexible and friendly service was impressive.
We chose the lowest-ranked buffet course, but all the food was delicious! However, the cake was very sweet, typical of American desserts, so I mostly ate fruit.
Listening to Hawaiian music while watching the sunset over the calm sea made for a perfect memory, and I was able to take lots of photos.
船に乗る前から踊りで出迎えてもらえ、スタッフさんが皆さん明るく迎え入れてくださりました!
乾杯のドリンクを聞かれたときとっさに英語が聞き取れなかったのですが携帯の翻訳機で伝えてくださったりと臨機応変で親切な対応でした。
1番ランク下のビュッフェのコースでしたが、料理もすべて美味しかったです!
ただ、ケーキはアメリカらしいすごく甘すぎる感じだったのでフルーツばかり食べていました。
ハワイの音楽を聴きながら穏やかな海でサンセットが見れて、たくさん写真も撮れたので最高の思い出になりました。

I participated in the 3-star course on the day of the fireworks on Friday. I also signed up for the window-side option and commemorative photos.
The dishes are served in order. I joined after seeing a comment that "the plates were taken away while I was taking pictures of the sunset," but if you time it right, that won't happen.
There was also a comment about the shrimp being watery, but I didn't particularly feel that way.
As the start time for the fireworks approaches, everything starts moving at once, so it's a good idea to get there a bit early. You can't see from behind the Americans. However, the duration is shorter than Japanese fireworks festivals (10-15 minutes?), and since it's from a distance, the impact is somewhat lacking.
As it gets closer to the end, it turns into disco time, with female staff bursting into dance, creating a lively atmosphere.
The instructions mentioned that "the fee does not include tips," so I was prepared for that, but I didn't find the right moment to give one.
Near the exit, you can take commemorative photos with a male and female hula dance pair (free). It became a nice memory.
金曜日の花火がある日に3スターコースに参加しました。窓際オプションと記念写真も申し込みました。
料理が順に運ばれて来ます。事前に「夕陽の写真を撮っている内にお皿が下げられた」というコメントを見て参加しましたが、タイミングを見計らえば、そんなことはありません。
「エビが水っぽい」というコメントもありましたが、特には感じませんでした。
花火は、開始時刻が近くなると一斉に動き始めるので、
少し早めに動くのがコツです。米人の後ろからは見えません。ただ、日本の花火大会より時間は短く(10〜15分?)、遠方からなので迫力は今一歩です。
終わり近くになるとディスコタイムとなり、女性従業員が弾けて踊り、盛り上がりました。
説明書に、「代金にはチップが含まれていない」と書いてあったので、心積もりしていましたが、渡すタイミングがありませんでした。
出口付近で、フラダンスの男女ペアと記念撮影してくれます(無料)。いい思い出になりました。

I received two free drink tickets per person. I ordered a drink, but after waiting for many minutes because they were busy, they brought me something without any decorations like flowers. When I tried to use the second ticket, they refused me while speaking rapidly in English. I thought maybe it was already last call and was about to give up when they started taking orders from other guests. I pressed them on why they didn't take my order, but I couldn't understand what they were saying at all. I did receive the ticket, but in the end, they never brought me my drink. It might be due to a staff shortage after COVID, but I think they have the worst staff. Previously, when I participated in a countdown cruise with Five Star, the service was exceptional, but this time, instead of enjoying myself, I felt discriminated against and it made me sad.
フリードリンクチケットを2枚/人もらっていた。チチを注文したが、忙しくて何十分も待ったあげく、花などの飾りもないものが置かれた。二枚めを使おうとすると、英語をまくしたてて、拒否された。もうラストオーダーなのかもと思い、諦めていたら、そのうち、臨席のオーダーを取り始めた。なぜ私のオーダーを受けなかったのかと問い詰めたが、何を言ってるのかさっぱりわからなかった。一応チケットを受け取ったが、結局ドリンクは持ってきてくれなかった。コロナ明けで人手不足なのかもしれないが、最低のスタッフだと思います。以前ファイブスターで、カウントダウンクルーズに参加した時は最高のスタッフのおもてなしだったのに、今回は、楽しめるどころか、差別されて、悲しかったです。
私たちは、クルーズに対するあなたの失望に非常に申し訳なく思っています。

First, want to acknowledge our awesome tour guide. His name was Garfield. This guy was full of information and his instructions were spot on. I have so much to say about this day. To me it was a little overwhelming all that we saw in such a short time. Between the Bowfin submarine tour, it's museum, the USS Arizona Memorial was spectacular and awe inspiring. The aviation museum was my favorite since I am an aviation buff. All the planes in various states of repair and some that were riddled with bullet holes was incredible. The Battleship Missouri was quite a sight to see. I wish I returned to spend more time to explore. This day was full of sights and emotion. Worth the price of admission for sure. Thank you again Garfield.

Well, we didn't start off on time due to an unavoidable traffic issue. Once Juicy showed up the trip began and he kept us rolling in the aisles with funny stories and excellent information about the sights. Did I mention that Juicy made up for arriving late? Each stop was awesome and he went out of his way to make it just that much more special. The lunch was some yet delicious. I feel bad because I actually forgot his real name. The only name we got familiar with was Juicy. What a sweet and funny man. I really connected with him. Glad we took this tour.

It was just okay. Boarding went quickly and was fairly organized. You weren't too crowded in the dining room, however it was HOT. They need fans. We were sitting on the sunset side on the outside and the sun was in my face the entire meal. Between the sun, heat and movement of the boat I was miserable. I don't normally get seasick, but combined with the extreme heat and lack of breeze I felt like crap. I couldn't wait to get up top where there was a breeze.
The buffet had what was advertised, but it was a minimal selection. In my opinion it left something to be desired, I didn't even eat one plate. The desserts were okay, the fruit was fresh. The wait staff was friendly and efficient.
We did have a spectacular sunset and it is amazing to see from the ship. We missed most of the entertainment because I needed to be up where there was a breeze but people seemed to be enjoying themselves. We went on Friday to see the fireworks. There were so many people topside that we couldn't stand on the side of the ship you needed to be on to watch them. (You want to be on the right side.) We wound up going back to our seats (2nd level) and had a perfect view of the end of the fireworks display. Overall I couldn't wait for the evening to end so I could get off the ship and get into the air conditioning. Personally I would not go again, but as I said a lot of people did seem to be enjoying themselves. I should mention, I'm not overweight, so that is not why I was so hot, they really need fans in those lower areas. Had I not been so miserable because of the heat I may have had a better experience.

On the day of the sandbar, unfortunately, we left Waikiki with a feeling of disappointment due to the bad weather, but that feeling was blown away once we got on the boat (*´-`).
I believe there were two boats in total, one filled with Japanese people and the other with foreigners, each departing separately.
The crew member Yukiko was very cheerful and funny, teaching us various things. On the boat ride to the snorkeling area, we followed the directions and were able to see a honu and a manta ray.
Unfortunately, we couldn't see them underwater, but I was very excited to see so many fish.
It was a tour that made me want to participate again next time.
5泊した中でまさかのサンドバーの日だけ生憎の天気に残念な気持ちでワイキキを出発しましたが、そんな気持ちも船に乗れば吹き飛びました(*´-`)
日本人ばかり集めた船が一隻、外国の方で一隻の合計2隻でそれぞれ出発だったと思います。
クルーのゆきこさんはとても明るく面白く、色んなことを教えてくれました。シュノーケリングエリアまでの船で指示通りの方向を見に行くと、ホヌとマンタを見ることができました。
残念ながら水中では見ることはできませんでしたが、沢山の魚にとても興奮しました。
また次も参加したいと思える様なツアーでした。
