All Reviews for Star of Honolulu Cruise

This was my sixth dinner cruise out of Waikiki I will have to say that this was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations the staff was wonderful our waiter was just absolutely amazing she did a great job and the food was very good service went well entertainment was nice and all in all it was a beautiful cruise

Had a great time. Good food (and lots of it) and meeting new people is always fun. It was an intimate setting with a with a friendly and attentive staff. The performers were great; performing dances from the various Polynesian cultures. The view of the city lights from the ship was beautiful as was the sunset. Definitely recommend this dinner cruise for first timers and using the transportation that is offered.

Enjoyed the cruise! Although short, it was delicious, all you can eat crab legs, and there is some fun entertainment at the end! Fun times!

this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D

Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking

The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.

We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Extremely friendly staff and they made the experience special. Entertainment and good were great!

I was thrilled to see the whale right in front of me. However, the rocking of the boat was severe, and my whole family got seasick. That was disappointing. I almost got seasick for the first time myself, so it might have been a bit tough for the kids.

目の前のクジラに感激。しかし、揺れが酷く家族皆船酔いでダウン。そこが残念でした。
自分も初めて船酔いになりかけたので、子供たちには少しつらかったかな。

I would like to participate again♪

This was my first time joining, and the staff were kind.

I plan to go again in March, so I would like to participate.

また参加したいです♪

今回初めて参加したのですが、スタッフの方も親切でした

3月にまた行くので参加したいと思ってます

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).

They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.

The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.

Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.

The cruise was awesome!!! The food was great. The staff we had took such good care of us. The entertainment was off the hook at the end.

Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!

The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.

From the start this cruise was amazing, We checked in and got the royal treatment. Escorted to the upper deck where we were greeted by the captain and offered snacks and drinks. We were then seated and bring on the food, every dish was great. Brandon our server was great, he mad sure everything was to our satisfaction. The maitre d came and got us just before sunset and took us out on deck where the Captain was waiting and we renewed our vows. It was very romantic. I would do this again.

Myself and my husband could not fault the experience that we had when we renewed our wedding vows. The food was great, the staff were fantastic and the ceremony that was provided was private and personal - just what we wanted. It was the perfect end to the day.

My wife and I participated together. We joined without much expectation, but a humpback whale jumped right in front of us!! It was so exciting to see the tail slapping the surface of the water, and the dynamic jumps called breaching using its pectoral fins, just like we often see on TV!! How can you not be thrilled by this!!! The staff also said, "very very lucky!!" and were excited. It was a great tour.

妻と二人で参加しました。そんなに期待せずに参加しましたが、ザトウクジラが目の前でジャンプしました！！テレビでよく見る尾びれで海面をたたく、胸びれを使ってブリーチングと呼ばれるダイナミックなジャンプまで！！これが興奮せずに居られますか！！！スタッフさんも「very very lucky !!」と言って興奮してました。良いツアーでした。

I Had such a wonderful time will defintily do it again if i get the chance took my mom to hawaii for her birthday n suprised her with this awesome cruise wonderful meal crab legs and steak!! N fireWorks at the end of the night was great too

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable El servicio y la comida excelentes y no se diga los tragos recomendado 100%

Wonderful food, entertainment. Loved the dancing afterwards. Friendly crew, my daughter said our waiter Chad was a 'hottie'.

I've been on this tour many times. This early morning cruise did not have activities. Normally there is lei making, hula dancing and ukulele lessons.

Whales are hit or miss. I've seen some fantastic activity from this cruise!

Recommended for all, but be warned the morning cruise will not have the additional activities.

My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. The crew were attentive, and made sure we were good at all times. I would definitely do this again. Date night!

My entire family including my dad and sister's children really enjoyed the dinner. It was good start for our family trip in Hawaii.

The sunset dinner experience was extraordinary. The food was exquisite and our waitress was amazing. Keilani made us feel at home and made sure our experience was superb. In addition, the assistant manager Crystal Tagudin stopped by our table and chat with us for a while to make sure that our expectations were met. I absolutely loved it and look forward to going back next time I'm in Hawaii. Thank you Star of Honolulu staff!!!

One of the best experiences we had during our visit and made for a very memorable 20th anniversary!

This was my second whale watching experience, and I was able to see them well again this time. My friend, who was on their first whale watching trip, was also thrilled. I considered joining another boat, but after consulting with the staff at the desk, I chose this one with a great view, and it was the right decision. The food was delicious, and the ride was smooth, which was nice.

２回目のホエールウォッチングでしたが、今回もしっかりみることができました。初ウォッチングの友達も大喜び。別の船での参加も考え悩みましたが、デスクの方と相談して、見晴しのよいこちらの方にしましたが正解でした。料理もおいしく、ゆれも少なくて良かったです。

We had a great time..food was great.entertainment was great..everyone so friendly. .beautiful sunset..

I was swept away by the sunset, full moon, dancers, mai tis, whale watching and our MC for the evening. Because I was traveling solo I was the center of focus majority of the evening :) (I didn't mind) The level of participation and energy from everyone in the room was mind blowing. Can not wait to return, but with a significant other.

It's a very large and impressive ship! After departing, we enjoyed exploring the interior and lounging on the rooftop summer beds. Once things settled down, we were able to see two whales!! It was a bit disappointing that they were a little far away (we couldn't get too close due to regulations), but from then on, we cruised while watching the whales spouting water. Gradually, the initial excitement faded, and it felt less special. Looking back, I realize how luxurious it was.

Additionally, you can enjoy views of Diamond Head and other sights from the sea, making it a simple yet enjoyable cruise. When we boarded, there was smoke billowing from a volcano behind Diamond Head, and fighter jets were flying low and loud, which felt a bit like a Disneyland attraction (laughs).

The whales were too far away for good photos.

Also, the interior of the ship clearly had separate floors for Japanese and foreign guests (possibly due to the language of the announcements), but we were directed to the foreign guest floor. Everything was announced in English, but the foreign guest floor was less crowded and had a nice international travel vibe, which I really enjoyed!

とっても大きく立派な船です！
出港からしばらく、館内を散策したり屋上のサマーベッドに寝そべったりして楽しみましたが、
ひととおり落ち着いた頃、2頭のクジラに会えました！！
ちょっと遠目(規定であまり近寄れないとのこと)だったのが残念でしたが、
以降はずーっとクジラの吹く潮を見ながらのクルージングになりました。
だんだん当初のキャーキャー感もなくなり、もはや珍しくもない雰囲気。
今思えば、とっても贅沢だったなーと感じています。

また、ダイヤモンドヘッドなど洋上から眺められるので、
単純にクルージングとしても楽しめます。
私たちが乗船した際は、ダイヤモンドヘッドの奥の火山？から煙がもくもく出ており、
戦闘機が低く爆音でたくさん飛んでいたので、
なんだかディズニーランドのアトラクションのようなでした（笑）

クジラはとにかく遠目なのでよい写真は撮れません。

また、船内は日本人と外国人で明確にフロアが分かれている(アナウンス言語の問題かもしれません)のですが、
私たちは外国人フロアの案内でした。
本当に全て英語アナウンスですが、
外国人フロアの方が空いていましたし海外旅行感があって、
私はとっても楽しめました！

My partner and me really enjoyed on this cruise. Beautiful dinner, very helpful friendly crew and could see romantic sunset. I have joined this cruise 3rd times. every time never have any disappoint!! We are middle age couple. this cruise is great for family, girls group, boys group, big group, young people and old people everyone as well!!

it was my first time went on the dinner cruise since I live in Hawaii for 20 years, I really enjoy the steak and loster dinner, the workers were very friendly and helpful, that made me feel like I was having a family dinner with my family. The manager name Joey especially came serveral times to visit us and made sure everything was okay, we have a great time in Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner cruise!!!
