Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Romance and Dance

Reviewed by: Jersey Girl

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.

I saw a whale!! クジラいましたー！！

Reviewed by: Ina

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！

I took my best friend and 14 year old son on this dinner cruise. We arrived early, got good seats. The dinner was delicious, the staff was very friendly and informative, and the view was gorgeous and priceless!! We went on the cruise on Friday evening so we were able to enjoy the fireworks as well as the beautiful ocean, sunset and view of O'ahu from the sea. Everyone definitely must add this to their to do list even if born and raised in Honolulu!!

First whale watching 初ホエールウォッチング

Reviewed by: ラナちゃん

This was our first time participating as a group of eight across three generations, but the distance to the whales was far. Moreover, all we saw were spouts; we didn't get to witness the spectacular jumps and scenes we had imagined. My sons, who are in third and sixth grade, were bored and sat down. However, if you think of it as a leisurely cruise, it was a very elegant moment.

３世代８人で初めて参加したのですが、クジラまでの距離が遠いです。。しかも見れたのは潮吹きばかりで、想像してたようなジャンプなど豪快なシーンは見られませんでした。
小3.小６の息子達は退屈で座り込んでました。

ハワイ　1日完結バウ・リニューアル　夫婦・カップルの記念日をスターオブホノルル号でお祝い！サンセットディナークルーズ付き

A wonderful time. 素敵な時間

Reviewed by: naozi

We participated as a couple. The staff were very kind, and although I'm not very good at English, I didn't have any trouble. The food and the onboard shows were also very satisfying. However, the vow renewal was a bit underwhelming. During the meal, we were called to the edge of the deck with something like "Come here for a moment," where the captain performed the ceremony, but it didn't have the excitement of a wedding. Well, that might be expected. Still, making our vows with Diamond Head in the background was a wonderful memory. We were told to dress formally, so we both wore aloha shirts, but it seemed like we were in the minority and stood out a bit. The people around us didn't seem to be dressed so formally.

夫婦で参加させて頂きました。
スタッフの方もとても親切で、あまり英語が得意ではありませんが苦労することはなかったです。
お料理や船内のショーなどもとても満足いくものでした。
ただ、バウリニューアルはちょっと微妙でしたかねw
食事中に「ちょっときてー」みたいな感じで外のデッキの端に呼ばれ、船長がセレモニーを行ってくれるのですが、結婚式ほどの高揚感はないですね。まぁ当たり前かもしれませんが。
それでも船の上から見るダイアモンドヘッドをバックに愛を誓えてのはとてもいい思い出となりました。
当日は正装でとのことなので夫婦そろってアロハシャツを決め込んでいきましたが、そんな人は少数派？で若干浮いていました。周りの人はそんなにきっちりしている感じもなかったです。

The boat was nice and the buffet was fair, but the entertainment went down hill fast. The evening started with Hula dancers tat were very good and entertaining, but once the Japanese guitarist took over and started singing contemporary pop music, I couldn't get out of the cabin fast enough...And he went on, and on...and on. It was as if they were intentionally trying to chase us outside. Painful.

Reviewed by: kir

The initial orientation took place in a room inside the ship, so I felt a bit nauseous since I couldn't see the scenery. However, about 30 minutes after going out on deck, I was able to see whales about four times. On the way back, I stayed out on the deck the whole time, and it was a great memory to see Diamond Head and the city of Waikiki from the sea.

最初のオリエンテーションは船の中側の部屋での待機なので景色が見えない分少し酔いましたが、デッキに出てから約30分後にクジラを計4回くらい見ることが出来ました。
帰りはずっとデッキに出ていたので、海からダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキの街を見られて良い思い出になりました。

We had a great experience on this dinner cruise. The entertainment was outstanding and the firework show was just the icing on top. The waitress and staff went beyond expectations to make sure we were having a great time. The food was good but I wish they would give an option for the lobster. I do not care for lobster and therefore did not eat it. I just wish the steak would have been a larger portion since we did not eat the lobster. Other than that, excellent time!

I booked this for a family trip in April, and first, I was surprised by the size of the ship, which was larger than I expected.

As soon as we set sail, breakfast was included, and I enjoyed it while having a great time on the cruise.

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but the weather was nice, and the view of Honolulu from the sea was amazing, which made me very satisfied.

I plan to use this service again next time and hope to see whales in person.

４月に家族旅行で申し込みました、まず、予想しては船より大きな船でビックリでした。

残念ながらホエールは見ることは出来ませんでしたが、天気もよくて、海から見るホノルルの景色は最高で満足できました。

I have lived in Hawaii since 1985. My niece from Indiana visited for a week. I took her on the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise, having never been on it myself. I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome! We both loved it. The pre-boarding hula & Hawaiian music, the on-board entertainment, the food, the views and the friendly staff were all very enjoyable. When other friends and family come to visit, I will be sure to take them. It was the highlight of my niece's visit!

Reviewed by: cali4nia

Love, love, loved the dinner cruise. This was our first time in Hawaii and I must say I am happy that we chose this as one of the activities to attend to. From the very beginning when we got picked up from the hotel, welcoming at the cruise ship, dinner, entertainment and fireworks, this is definitely a night that will be forever cherished. The staff was amazingly helpful and attentive especially our table server Rosey, she constantly made sure we had enough crab (purchased steak and all you can eat crab meal) and glasses were filled with drinks. Just AWESOME!!! The music and performers were great as well. At the end of the night we watched fireworks out on the deck. Overall my husband and I had a most memorable evening and recommend if you have not already done so this is one of the a Hawaii activities you don't want to miss!!!

I participated with my family on April 4, 2015.

The weather was nice, and it was a pleasant time with the sea breeze, but according to the staff, whales are returning to the Arctic during this period, so it's common not to see them.

Although we didn't see any whales, there were various events on the ship, such as hula dancing experiences, so we weren't bored.

Next time, I think I'll participate during the season when the whales are present.

Whale watching offers the chance to see various sights depending on your luck. Depending on the difficulty, you may witness spouts, splashes from the tail, and back jumps, allowing you to test your fortune. If you happen to miss all of these, don't worry, as a re-boarding is guaranteed, so feel free to head out with peace of mind.

The ship was large, and I was worried about the swaying, but it wasn't too bad. They announced the direction where the whales were, so I was able to see them well. However, it seems that due to wildlife protection, we couldn't get too close, so I couldn't really grasp the size of the whales. At first, I even thought they might be dolphins.

船も大きく心配していた揺れもあまりありませんでした。
鯨がいる方向をアナウンスしてもらえるのでよく見ることが出来ました。ただ、野生生物の保護上あまり近くに寄ることは出来ないようで実際のところ鯨の大きさを実感することは出来ませんでした。イルカかなと最初は思ったほどです。

It's always a wonderful experience with Star of Honolulu!

Reviewed by: Ms. Ems

It's my 3rd time with Star of Honolulu and they never fail to amaze me!
I was greeted with a beautiful smile by Kathleen at the ticket office. She was very nice, friendly, and it seems like she was enjoying her job. Before we boarded, the dancers are always very entertaining, a unique way to welcome their guests (yes, I've been to other dinner cruises and only Star of Honolulu has this great idea).
At the boat, here comes the cheerful and very energetic Freddie, who took us to our table. He didn't realize there were eight (8) of us but he was able to accommodate us right away having our own table by the window! He is the Assistant Floor Manager and I was really impressed with his friendliness and bright personality, he is funny too! The couples that we were with are visitors from Canada, celebrating their Silver Wedding Anniversary. I forgot to mention this special occasion when I made the booking so I told Freddie if there’s a way he can announce it after dinner. Knowing how busy they were, I never expected it to happen but I was extremely happy and grateful that he didn't forget. After the Polynesian entertainment, he immediately pulled my couple family towards the stage to make their dance. All the other couples, honeymooners, anniversary celebrants, followed. It was an honor!! Thank you so much Freddie for that, it was a memory of a lifetime for my family.
I would also like to give credit to Jay, who was our server that night, in fact all the crew members because they know how to take care of their guests, they're fast and attentive! The One Star package is not bad at all, I actually like this better than the Three Star believe it or not and IT'S ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS!! Yummy! The steak was delicious also, so tender and juicy!
Will definitely cruise with Star of Honolu again and again! True "Aloha" spirit..good impression for those visiting the islands for the first time...greatly satisfied with the services they offer. Thumbs up SOH!!

Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Ann

I wanted to do something special for my daughter and friend and thought a dinner cruise would be wonderful. I went the extra mile and extra money to upgrade to a window seat . I did the reservation almost three to four weeks in advance Upon boarding we were seated next to the wall. The third window seat was not a window seat but just behind the window seat. If I leaned up and out I could see.
When I asked to be moved I asked the manager if I could be seated next to the window she stated they were full and she offered a bottle of wine, as I don't drink I asked her to treat me like she would treat her mother, and that is when she told me her mother was nice, implying I wasn't. I had thought I had been nice up to that point I had just wanted to see as that is what I had paid for this time(I have been on this tour before and sat in the middle ) They did offer us an upgrade and a nice private table, meaning quiet, back near the door as to not see the show. The upgraded meal was delicious and as we had all lived in Oahu the show was not really missed. I am not sure I would recommend this tour unless you upgraded to the dinner and not the buffet. I would recommend a maximum of two for the window seating and make sure you state near the wall does not count. Other than the manager's attitude which I allowed to bother me, the servers were efficient, courteous and friendly.

I could faintly see a tail in the distance. 遠くに微かに尻尾が見えました。

Reviewed by: リボ子

We participated as a family. I think more than half of the guests were Japanese. After we set sail for a while, the captain stopped in an area where whales might be and made announcements in English about which direction they were located. Everyone then rushed over to that side, straining their eyes and holding their breath, staring at the sea. (That silent moment felt strange.)

In my case, there were about 5 or 6 instances like that, but I hardly saw anything. (The photo was taken with a super telephoto lens.) Even if a whale spouted water occasionally, it was hard to tell where it would appear in the vast ocean, and most of the time it was either very far away or a fleeting moment that I missed. No matter how brief or distant it was, if a whale appeared, it would count as an "encounter," so it seems we wouldn't receive a free ticket for the next time.

However, it really seems to be a matter of luck. A lady I met on the boat said that the last time she went, a whale came very close, and it was an impressive sight!

家族で参加しました。お客さんの半分以上は日本の方だったと思います。出港してしばらくすると、船長さんが鯨のいそうなあたりを探して泊まり、英語でどこの方角に居ますとかアナウンスが入ります。すると皆一斉にそっちへ行って目を凝らして海をジッと固唾をのんで目つめます。（そのシーンとした時間が変な感じでした）
私の場合はそういうのが5～6回あって、ほとんどが見れなかった。（写真はカメラの超望遠です）たまに潮ふいたとしても、広い海のどこに出るかわからないし、すんごい遠くにだったり、一瞬の出来事で見逃してしまうのがほとんどかも。どんなに一瞬でも、どんなに遠くでよく見えなくても、現れれば「遭遇した」となるので、次回の無料券はもらえないみたい。
でも、ほんとに運みたいで、船上であったご婦人は、前に乗ったときはすぐ近くに鯨がきて迫力だったわ！なんて仰っておりました。
