We used this for the celebration of my parents' longevity (3 people). From departure to return, both the meals and programs were fulfilling, and we had a wonderful time without getting bored at all.
* One person used a wheelchair, but since they could walk a little, we used the regular pickup bus. Upon boarding, we were able to use the elevator preferentially to take our seats.
* The tenderloin steak seems to be part of the regular menu. Since we were a group of five, we included fish (we had the sautéed tuna with butter) in the menu, but I think the steak was the right choice. The fish was also delicious, but the tenderloin was like a filet steak and very tasty (overall, there was nothing that wasn't delicious).
* We boarded on Friday night, and the fireworks from the Hilton were quite impressive. By the way, you might want to choose seats on the ocean side, but the fireworks only go off from one side. If you're not on that side, it will be hard to see (since the fireworks are high, you won't see the whole display), so it might be better to not pay extra for seats and instead step away during the fireworks and sunset to enjoy the view before returning.
* In the show, the jazz part was good, but the Polynesian dance was really great. Even when the ship arrived, it was still ongoing. The finale was a fun, participatory moment for everyone. By the way, if you sit on the ocean side of the stage, it might be hard to see. The opposite side might offer a better view, but there is a chance you could miss out, so it might be best to stay in the middle without paying extra.
In Hawaii, due to the weak yen, everything tends to be expensive, but considering the meals and program content, I think this is a good option.
親の長寿(3名)のお祝いに利用させていただきました。
出航してから戻るまで、食事・プログラムとも充実しており、全く飽きずに楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。
*一人車椅子の利用だったのですが、少し歩けたので、通常のピックアップバスを利用させていただきました。乗船時は優先的にエレベーターを利用して着席させていただきました。
*テンダーロインステーキが通常メニューのようです。5名での参加であったので、魚(頂いたのはツナバターソテー)もメニューに入れたのですが、ステーキが正解かと思います。魚も美味しかったのですが、テンダーロインがフィレステーキのようで、とても美味しかったです(全体的に、美味しくないのはありませんでした)。
*金曜日の夜に乗船したのですが、ヒルトンから上がる花火はなかなかのものでした。ちなみに、座席を海側にしたくなりますが、あがるのは片側からのみです。そちらでなければ、見えにくい(花火の高さがあるいので、全体は見えない)となりますので、追加で座席にお金を払わず、花火のタイミング、サンセットのタイミングで離席し、景色を楽しんでから戻るのが良いかもしれません。
*ショーにおいて、ジャズのパートも良かったのですが、ポリネシアンダンスがとても良かったです。船が着いても、まだ終わってませんでした。最後は全員参加型の盛り上がりで楽しかったです。ちなみに座席は、舞台サイドの海側に座ると見えにくくなります。反対側だと見やすいかもしれませんが、外れる可能性もありますので、追加料金を払わず、真ん中で良いかもしれませんね。
ハワイでは円安もあり、全てが高額になりがちですが、食事及びプログラム内容から、悪くない選択肢かと思います。

Go on a Friday to catch the Friday night fireworks sponsored by Hilton Hawaiian Village. Usually after dinner is done, and while the performers entertain, guests usually hangout by the side rail outside the dining area, or at the top deck to get good seating/viewing spots until the fireworks. Otherwise, food was mediocre good (we had the crab, steak, and mashed potatoes deal) and complimentary Mai Tai was too sweet with little to no alcohol. Dessert was brought out while guests were in the deck plates. It was between the boat cruise or a luau....we should've tried the luau.

This time, we participated with five family members, three from my sister's family, and five from a friend's family. Previously, I saw the hula at the Polynesian Cultural Center, but the food was mediocre and it was far away, so this time, being able to walk there during our stay at Aulani was very appealing.
I applied for either front or box seats, but we ended up in the back box seats. With the cheaper seats, photos were an additional charge, and it was buffet style. However, with the package that included photos and served meals, we received coupons for $20 for adults and $19 for children, which allowed us to buy drinks and souvenirs. It was very helpful to have things brought to us, especially with kids.
Before the show started, we had a great time taking photos, making leis, and the dancers even painted Polynesian tattoos on our arms. The food started with a salad, which had about three different kinds and was delicious. The portions were huge! Next came pork, chicken, and fish, all served with rice, and everything was tasty.
After the meal, we enjoyed the dance show! The hula and fire dance captivated the children, and when it got dark, the stars were truly beautiful. I really felt it was worth coming.
Since it's in Ko Olina, I think it's far from Waikiki, but considering the food and service, I believe it was worth the trip.
今回、家族5人、妹家族3人、友達家族5人で参加しました。
以前、ポリネシアンセンターのフラを見たのですが、ご飯もイマイチで、遠かったため、今回はアウラニ滞在中に歩いて行けたのも魅力的でした。
前方かBox席のどちらかというのを申し込みましたが、後ろのBox席で、やすい席だと、写真が有料、ビッフェスタイルなのが、写真付き、お食事も配膳され、大人1人20ドル子供1人19ドルのクーポンがついてきたので、それで飲み物やお土産を買うことができ子供がいても持ってきてもらえるのがとても助かりました。
ショーが始まるまでに、写真を撮ったり、レイを作ったり、ポリネシアンタトゥーをダンサーの方達が腕に描いてくださったり、とても楽しい時間が過ごせました。
食事も、はじめは、サラダから。しかも3種ほどのっていて、美味しかったです。これも、量がすごい!
次にポーク、チキン、フィッシュと、ご飯でたくさんのっていて、どれも美味しかったです。
食事の後はダンスショー!
フラも、ファイヤーダンスも子供たちも釘付けで、暗くなると星も本当に綺麗で、来てよかったなーと、本当に思いました。
コオリナなので、ワイキキからは、遠いと思いますが、料理やサービスを考えると行って良かったと思います。

I was surprised by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. They really looked alike. The hula dance and fire performance were impressive, and I enjoyed a genuine American show.
The food was not great. The meat was tough, and the seats were cramped. I had trouble communicating with the staff in Japanese, but a person at a nearby table helped me.

The male staff near the entrance left a very good impression. He had a great vibe and seemed like someone who could get along with anyone.
The food was delicious, and I had a great time throughout.
Points to note:
- Japanese is not spoken here.
- There are no chopsticks available.
- If you leave your seat for things like sunset photos, your food will be cleared away.
- You have very little time to eat, and everything will be cleared away once time is up.

They never came to take our order, and we could only use one drink ticket. While we were outside, the coffee spilled and spread all over the table, but they didn't change the tablecloth. I also asked for a refill of coffee, but it never arrived until the end. It was quite disappointing, especially since the sunset was also underwhelming due to the clouds. The only saving grace was the Hilton fireworks.
注文を全然取りに来なく、ドリンクチケットは1枚しか使えませんでした。外に出ている間にコーヒーが倒れ、テーブル全体に広がっていたが、クロス交換はしてもらえなかった。コーヒーのおかわりも頼みましたが最後まで来ず。。曇りでサンセットも微妙だったこともあり、とても残念です。救いなのがヒルトン花火くらいかな。

The sunset was indeed beautiful! Also, since it was Friday, I was able to see fireworks, and I'm glad I participated. I chose the buffet, and personally, I found the chicken to be delicious. There were people from various countries on board, and by the end, many were dancing to YMCA together, creating a party atmosphere. For those who are not comfortable with a lot of excitement, the deck is quieter, but it can get chilly with the wind after sunset, so I think it's better to have something to wear.
Even though it's a large ship, it was quite rocky the whole time, so if you're worried about motion sickness, it might be a good idea to have some medication on hand. Regarding COVID-19, I felt a bit uneasy because the spacing between tables was narrow. Most people weren't wearing masks, and since everyone touches the same areas at the buffet, I think it's better for those who are concerned to bring their own disinfectants.
The sunset from the beach is of course lovely, but the cruise sunset also became a wonderful memory.
やはりサンセットが綺麗でした!また、金曜だったので花火も見れて、参加して良かったです。
ビュフェを選びましたが、個人的にはチキンが美味しかったです。
多国籍の方が乗船していて、最後は沢山の方が一緒にYMCAを踊ってパーティー状態でした。あまり皆で盛り上がるのが苦手な方は、デッキだと静かにいられますが、日が沈むと風もあり肌寒いので、羽織る物があった方が良いかと思います。
また、大きな船とは言え、結構常に揺れていたので、心配な方は酔い止めの薬があった方が良さそうです。
コロナに関しては、テーブルの間隔が狭く、少々不安でした。ほとんどの方がマスクをしていないですし、ビュフェは皆触る所が同じなので、気になる方は消毒等個人で持参された方が良いと思います。
ビーチからのサンセットも勿論素敵ですが、クルーズサンセットも良い思い出になりました。

I had arranged for transportation, but I was a bit flustered when the bus we were supposed to take left without us. However, we were able to get on another bus, so it wasn't a problem. I think it would be good to confirm the number of passengers, though. Other than that, everything was perfect, and we had so much fun! I will definitely participate again!
