What is dinner? Is it just a name? ディナーとは？　名ばかりか？

Reviewed by: 井上　剛

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.

First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"

The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.

2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は１階フロアで円卓の8人掛け　そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。　最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低　すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか！」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何！　そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし！　と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、　2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、　検討中の方々に参考になればと　思い投稿することにしました。

Overall experience was fantastic. Felt like a condensed cruise trip. Need to make sure you don't eat the trip away because they keep bringing food and before you know it you are back to the dock. Good entertainment staff.

Satisfied with the beautiful sunset! 綺麗なサンセットに満足！

Reviewed by: きょうこ

I used this service on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. When I tried to take a selfie, a staff member offered to take a photo for me. However, I felt that the variety of dishes at the buffet was a bit lacking, so I rated it one star lower. The taste was just okay. After finishing the meal, we moved to the upper floor to watch the sunset.

There wasn't much time between the meal and the sunset, and we had quite a bit of time to spare from sunset until we disembarked, but we enjoyed a wonderful time watching live performances and hula!

ハワイに到着した日に利用しました。
スタッフの方はニコニコ、とても感じの良い方達ばかりでした。
自撮りしようとしたら、写真撮りましょうか？とスタッフの方から声を掛けてくれました。
ただ、ビュッフェの品数が少し物足りなかったので☆−1です。味はまぁ、こんなものかなと行った感じです。
お食事が終わってから上の階へ移動し、サンセットを見ました。

食事〜サンセットまであまり時間がなく、日没〜船を降りるまで割と時間を持て余しましたが、生演奏やフラを見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました！

We were on our honeymoon and had a really great time. I would give it 4.5 stars but that wasn't an option so they got 5 because it was better than 4. Food was good and entertainment was excellent. Pictures and drinks were pricey but I guess that's expected.

Great time!

Reviewed by: Greg Raymer

I took my girlfriend on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise from Aloha Tower. She was new to Hawaii and was not sure what to expect. I appreciated the fact that they picked us up near the hotel we were staying. Upon arrival, we were guided to our casual dinner level, or deck. This was somewhat bothersome, just because there could have been more flow to it. Once we got on the ship, we were seated promptly. The tables were set and an orchid flower was placed in the middle of the dinner plate. (Very nice) Before long, we were off the dock and on to our adventure. The meal was buffet style, food was okay. While we dined, there was a single singer, who sang many of the songs associated with Hawaii and songs from movies about Hawaii. He was friendly and personable. After dinner, coffee and dessert was served on the outside deck. Shortly after, a smoking hot hula show began, where they explained the history of hula, as well as performed several numbers of Hawaiian music and dancing. While this was happening, a beautiful sunset was developing outside on the deck, and I was able to snap many quality sunset photos. We traveled parallel to the Waikiki hotel row, and went slightly past Diamond Head, before we turned back. It was an awesome experience and truly romantic. I have personally done the luau shows in and around Waikiki, and I always seem to gravitate back to the sunset dinner cruise. My belief is that I get the most value for my money on the sunset dinner cruise. I get a boat ride, a meal, a hula show and the beautiful sunset all for the price of one ticket. I will return.

My expectations were too high. 期待が大きすぎました。

Reviewed by: makey

I thought I would be able to see whales up close, so I imagined a dynamic experience. However, due to conservation measures, there was quite a distance, which was different from what I expected. Still, the weather was nice, and I enjoyed a morning meal, and it was fun to stick to the deck and watch the surface of the sea. We were also able to take photos with Diamond Head in the background. I thought it was great for those with children, as it wasn't dangerous at all. As someone who enjoys swimming with dolphins and diving, this is our impression. It wasn't that we couldn't see them at all, and it was nice to encounter a mother and calf whale. However, we could only see their backs and fins popping up in the distance.

クジラを間近で見れると思っていたので、ダイナミックな感じを想像していました。
でも、保護の観点からかなりの距離があって、思っていたものとは違いました。
でも、お天気も良くて、モーニングも頂けましたし、甲板にへばりついて海面を見ているのも楽しかったですよ。
ダイアモンドヘッドバックに撮影も出来ましたしね。
お子様をお連れの方は、危なくありませんしいいなと思いました。
イルカと一緒に泳いだり、ダイビングをするのが好きな私達の感想です。
全く見れないって事ではなかったし、親子のクジラに遭遇出来たのも良かったです。
でも、遠くにポコポコって背中やひれが見える程度ですよ。

There was a mix-up with what we ordered and what we were given, but the manager on duty did an excellent job making it right. Overall, it was a pleasant evening with good food. I would say that the rate is slightly more expensive than what I would expect for the return on the overall entertainment without alcohol.

I couldn't see it... 見れませんでした・・・

Reviewed by: まここ

My younger brother, who loves whales, strongly wanted to participate, so our family of five joined in.

We were told that we would likely see them, but unfortunately, due to the bad weather, we weren't able to see any whales, which is quite rare. Even so, the guide did their best to announce flying fish and other marine life.

Additionally, they provided free tickets for another day in case we didn't see anything, so my brother tried again the next day, but unfortunately, he didn't see any whales again.

I think we just had bad luck... but I definitely want to try again!

クジラ好きな弟の強い希望で、家族5人で参加しました。

ほぼ見れるとのことでしたが、あいにくの悪天候の為珍しく見れなかったようです。
それでも、ガイドさんは必死でトビウオ等のアナウンスをしてくださいました。
また、見れなかった場合には別日に無料で乗れる券を配布していたので
翌日弟が再挑戦したのですが、残念ながらまた見れなかったそうです。

運が悪かっただけだと思いますが・・・
またリベンジしたいです！！

We used this service with our family during the New Year. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any whales during our trip, so it ended up being just a regular cruise. It's something that can't be helped, but it might be tough for those who can't accept that. The kids were quite disappointed. I wish we had explained beforehand that "there might be times when we won't see any whales."

正月に家族で利用しました。私たちが参加した時は鯨に遭遇出来ませんでした。よってただのクルージングに。こればかりは仕方ないですね。って気持ちで参加できる方でないと厳しいかも。子供たちは結構ガッカリしてました。事前に「クジラには逢えない場合もあるからね」と説明しておけばよかったと、思いました。

Rainbows and fireworks!! 虹も花火も！！

Reviewed by: Rumi

I think you'll definitely get a sense of being abroad, as there are many non-Japanese guests. The weather wasn't great on the day we boarded, but once we got a little further out, the clouds cleared and we were able to see the blue sky. We also got to see a big rainbow, and I couldn't help but rush out to the deck from inside the ship, laughing.

On Friday, we were able to see the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel, so at the time the fireworks started, we went up to the third floor and had the best seats to watch them! They turned off the lights on the ship, making it very easy to see! All the staff were wonderful, and we had an incredibly fun time!

I didn't find the ship's rocking to be bothersome, and the buffet food was delicious. If you're looking to enjoy a slightly different night, I definitely recommend this cruise!

お客様は日本人以外も多く、海外に来ている感は十分に味わえるかと思います。
乗船した当日はあまり天候が良くなかったのですが、それでも少し沖に出ると雲が切れて青空を見る事が出来ました。
また大きな虹を見る事が出来て、思わず船内から甲板に飛び出していました笑
金曜日はヒルトンホテルの花火を見る事が出来るので、花火が上がる時間には3階に上がり、特等席で見ました！！船の明かりを消してくれたので、とても見やすかったです！！
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方ばかりで、とってもとっても楽しかったです！
船の揺れもそこまで気にならなかったし、ブッフェのお料理も美味しかったです。
ちょっと違う夜を楽しんでみたい方には、是非このクルーズをオススメします！！

Everyone on the bus had to drive by the exact same stops twice because he said we didn't know what he was doing.

Whoever scheduled the route didn't know what they were doing it took us nearly 50 minutes to drive around one block If the route would have gone the other way it might have lasted 10 enough said

Fridays with fireworks are fully booked. 花火のある金曜日は満席です

Reviewed by: Kanny

I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.

The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.

When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.

海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。
1回行けば満足かなと思います。

I participated in the morning whale watching tour. Perhaps due to the cloudy sky, the whales didn't show up. Since I was returning home that day, I couldn't use a rain check. It's unfortunate, but it's nature, so there's nothing to be done. However, as a birdwatching enthusiast, I was relieved to see the rendezvous flight of the white tern from the boat.

午前のホエールウォッチングに参加しました。曇り空のせいか、クジラさんは出てくれませんでした。その日に帰国するので、レインチェックも使えず。自然が相手なのでしかたないのですが、残念でした。バードウォッチングが趣味なので、船上からシロアジサシのランデブー飛翔が見られたのが救いでした。
