All Reviews for Aloha Tower, Honolulu

Our first Christmas Eve living in Hawaii and the Cruise and Service was outstanding. 7 course dinner was delicious and live entertainment was top shelf.

It was my first dinner cruise in high waves and strong winds. Ten minutes after departure, I immediately got seasick... I ended up stuck at the back of the deck, feeling miserable the whole time. Because of that, I decided to buy a commemorative photo, but I forgot to pick it up, so I just ended up paying for it. I think it was distributed at the seats, but I wish I had received a notification... I will never go again.

波が高く風も強い中、初のディナークルーズでした。
出港して10分、即船酔い…結局ずっとデッキのうしろで地獄絵図…
そんなこともあり、記念写真を購入したのですが受け取るのを忘れてしまい、お金を払っただけになってしまいました。
多分、席に配られていたと思うのですが連絡欲しかったです…
もう二度と行きません。

Beautiful views of Honolulu at night from the ocean, lovely food, and great, friendly atmosphere from beginning to end.

I was able to enjoy the sunset and night view in Honolulu, and the food was delicious as well. I think the cost performance is good. However, after the meal, it was disappointing that the lounge on the upper floor was crowded and I couldn't find a seat, so I give it four stars.

ホノルルの夕陽と夜景を楽しむことができる上、料理も美味しかったです。
コスパも良いと思います。
ただ食事後、上階ラウンジに人がいっぱいで座ることが出来ず残念でしたので星4つです。

The cruising experience was very enjoyable and beautiful! The food wasn't in a wide variety, but it was tastier than I expected! The view outside was amazing ☺️ However, the air conditioning inside the ship was too cold, and I froze! A jacket is definitely a must!

クルージングはとても楽しく、綺麗でした！
ご飯も種類はたくさんではありませんでしたが、想像よりは美味しくいただけました！
外の景色は最高です☺️
しかし、船内の空調が寒すぎて凍えました！
上着は、必須ですね！

This time, I participated with my family!
We chose the all-you-can-drink course with appetizers!
If you like alcohol, I recommend this course!
You can enjoy various drinks like beer, champagne, and cocktails.
The food was delicious too!

I'm glad we chose the fireworks on Friday.
However, the waiting time until the fireworks is a bit long, so it might get boring!
But the cruise was truly a wonderful experience and became the best memory.
Thank you!

今回家族での参加でした！
アピタイザー付き飲み放題のコースにしました！
お酒が好きな方はこのコースはオススメです！
ビール、シャンパン、カクテルなどが色々飲めます^ ^
食事もおいしかったですよ！

金曜日の花火を選択して良かったです(^^)
ただ花火までの待ち時間が少し長いので、退屈するかもしれません！
ですがクルーズは本当に素敵な時間で最高の思い出になりました(^^)
ありがとうございました！

The content of the cruise was excellent. The food was delicious, and there were plenty of highlights like music and dance events. However, the ship rocked more than I expected, and my companion got seasick, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who are sensitive. That said, I am very grateful for the staff who were very caring.

However, on the return bus, when my companion and I, who were feeling unwell, boarded last and found there was no available space, I tried to ask the bus driver for help. He pointed to the front seat in a way that seemed annoyed and told us to sit down quickly as if he didn't care.

Despite my companion's seasickness, I was overall satisfied with the experience, but that one comment ruined my mood and made me feel it was all for nothing, so I had to give a low rating. The only negative point was that the driver seemed to be chatting happily with other staff and showed a selfish attitude, lacking the hospitality expected from staff.

クルーズの内容は最高でした。ご飯も美味しく、音楽や踊りのイベントなど見どころ満載でした。
ただ思ったより揺れがひどく、連れが船酔いしてしまい、弱い方はお勧めしません。ただ、スタッフの方が親身になってくださり、大変感謝しています。
ですが、帰りのバスにて、体調の悪い連れと共に最後に乗り込んだところ空いているスペースがなく困っていた際に、バスの運転手に助けを求めようと声をかけたところ、面倒くさそうに一番前の席をさしてどうでもいいから早く座れと罵声を浴びせるかのように言われました。
連れの酔はあったものの、全体としては満足な内容だったのにその一言で気分が害され、全て台無しになったので、最低評価をつけさせていただきました。その運転手は他のスタッフとは楽しそうに談笑しており、自分勝手で客をもてなす姿勢が感じられない最悪なスタッフがいたことが唯一の悪かった点です。

The food was delicious and enjoyable even for elementary school students. Unfortunately, due to a private party on the top floor, the only space available on the deck was in front of and behind the second floor. Additionally, it was quite rocky, which made my daughter seasick. Motion sickness medication is definitely necessary. The air conditioning inside the boat was too strong, making it cold.

料理は小学生でも飽きずに美味しく食べれるものでした。
タイミングが悪く一番上の階でプライベートパーティーをやっていたためデッキには二階の前後にあるスペースのみでした。
また、結構揺れたために娘が船酔いになってしまいました。酔い止めは必要ですね。船内は冷房が効きすぎて寒かったです。

It was a great sunset (as almost all are in Hawaii) meeting some new friends and having some fun with a lively crew. Would recommend for family entertainment as well as enjoyable for 'just the two' of you. It was great to have the pre-boarding show and get to meet some of the crew/cast. The food was good and the crew took very good care of of all.

The shuttle service was excellent, and there were staff members who spoke Japanese, so I felt安心して楽しめました until the end. The waves were so big that I was surprised by the rocking during the meal while we were docked. Several people were feeling seasick, so I think it's best to be prepared if you're going to board.

送迎もバッチリで、日本語が話せるスタッフもいて最後まで安心して楽しめました。
波があまりに大きく、停泊中の食事の最中
から最後まで、揺れに驚かさせれました
何人も酔っている方がいらっしゃったので
覚悟して乗船された方が良いと思います

I have used this place several times to celebrate my father's birthday. It started with a beautiful sunset, and after dinner, we went up to the cabin to enjoy the amazing night view. Each year, more hotels are being built, making the night view more vibrant.

親父の誕生日祝いに何度か利用させてもらってます。きれいな夕日からはじまり、食後はキャビンに上がって最高の夜景が楽しめました。年々ホテルが増えてきて、夜景がにぎやかになってきてます。

This cruise was a highlight of our trip. We spent our 34th anniversary with delicious food, wonderful music and great company. we had our own private table but had wonderful people sitting next to ours. The live music was relaxing and entertaining throughout the dinner. Our waitress was very courteous and helpful. We hope to spend another anniversary in the future on the Star of Honolulu!! Quyana - Mahalo - thank you.

The sunset is beautiful. If you want to feel the essence of Hawaii, I recommend this. The food is generally delicious, and there is a good variety. The cruise lasts about two hours, so the kids might get a little bored, but I think it's a good value for adults to enjoy at a leisurely pace.

夕陽がきれい。ハワイらしさをまず感じるなら、おススメです。料理も普通に美味しく、品揃えもあります。
クルーズ時間が2時間くらいありますので、子供が少し飽きてきますが、大人がゆっくり楽しむにはコスパ良いと思います。

What an experience!! Great food, entertainment and I think we got the best server!! Darian was amazing! Would do it again!

It was a truly wonderful tour that created amazing memories. There was an American honeymoon couple, and we had a great time during meals. The setting sun was a memory I will cherish for a lifetime. However, I was a bit disappointed that the restaurant crew didn't engage with Japanese people as much compared to others. I wondered if they thought we didn't understand English or if they assumed we wouldn't tip. The tour was fantastic!

とても素晴らしい思い出になるツアーでした。
アメリカ人のハネムーンカップルもいて食事の時も盛り上がりました。
刻々と沈む太陽は一生の思い出になります。
ただ少し残念だったのは、レストランクルーが、他の国の人とくらべ日本人に対しあまりこえかけをしてくれませんでした。
英語がわからない人種と思われてるのか、はたまたチップを渡さない人種と思われたのか
少し気になりました。
ツアーは最高です！

The atmosphere of the cruise felt like being in Hawaii, which was great! If you can speak English, I think it would be fun to communicate with various people.

Since it was Friday, we were able to see an impressive fireworks display.

クルーズの雰囲気がハワイに来た感じがしていいです！
英語が話せれば、いろんな人とコミュニケーションが取れるので、楽しいと思います。

金曜日でしたので、迫力のある花火がみれました。

They say to shoot for the stars...so why not go for as many stars as you can? Now that I've been on the three star and the five star dining options, I can honestly say that the five star is worth the extra money. Both dining options were enjoyable and both exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food and service were excellent on both cruises, but I preferred the extra elegance of the five star. From the private welcome reception with the captain on the upper deck, to the live Jazz music, and the less crowded dining room, the five star was truly a luxurious experience.

I would definitely recommend the Five Star package if you're having trouble deciding which package to choose from! It was such a nice evening filled with an amazing meal, lovely live music and a great view of the sunset. This is definitely more of an elegant feel compared to the Three Star package if you're looking for something a little more upscale. You really can't go wrong with either one though, both are very nice and the food was exceptional on both!

This is a tour where you can enjoy fireworks on a boat. The food is also delicious. However, I cannot recommend it for those who are prone to seasickness, as the boat does sway. Additionally, it can be a bit chilly on the deck, so I think it would be a good idea to bring a light jacket.

花火を船上で楽しめるツアーです。
食事も美味しいです。
ただ船が揺れますので船酔いに弱い方にはオススメは出来ません。
それと甲板に出ると若干肌寒いので羽織るものを一枚持っていった方が良いかと思います。

Two premium drinks per person. This includes iced tea. "Premium" iced tea? Is the premium that it comes with ice?
Adult beverages are stupidly expensive.

We were much farther from the fireworks than I had hoped.

They lived up the the letter of their advertisement. They don't go beyond that.

I highly recommend this dinner cruise! This cruise is unique in that it’s a formal dinner, a sunset cruise, and a luau all wrapped up into one delicious and entertaining evening. I’m vegan and always skeptical of trying vegan options, but this dinner far exceeded my expectations. The jazz band did not disappoint either. Good music goes a long way in my book, so I can easily say the saxophonist was actually my favorite part of the evening. The band happened to play one of my favorite songs and it made my day, the icing on the cake.

Good points:
The night view of Waikiki from the boat was very beautiful and satisfying!

Bad points:
The meeting place was shared with other activities, which made it very confusing.
The fireworks are more beautiful in Japan.
The light meal course had few items and was simple. It wasn't enough for dinner.

良い点
船上からのワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で満足でしたよ！
悪い点
集合場所が他のアクティビティーと一緒でとても迷いました。
花火は日本の方が綺麗です。
軽食コースは品数もなく簡素でした。晩ご飯にはなりません。

Very entertaining show; we had a great time! Wonderful dancers!

It was a perfect night on the ocean as it was my wife’s Birthday so I decided to take her on the dinner cruise every thing was perfect , from the Lady and crew who picked us up from the hotel to the cruise staff ,food was great service was great and entertainment was fantastic I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a great night out

We participated as a group. The boat has three floors: the first floor is a dining area, the second floor is a bar where you can listen to live performances. It can accommodate a large number of passengers. I think it's great for groups and families since it's lively. Of course, there were also many couples. The boarding time was quite long, I believe. We were able to enjoy the sunset and the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel on Fridays (for five minutes) nicely.

グループで参加しました。
船は３階まであり、１階が食事スペース、２階がバーで生演奏を聞ける
大人数乗船可。
にぎやかなのでグループ、ファミリーで参加するにはいいと思います。
もちろんカップルの方もたくさんいました。
乗船時間は結構長かったと思います。
サンセットと金曜のヒルトンホテルの花火（５分）はいい感じで見れました。

There is guidance in Japanese from the pick-up onwards (including broken Japanese). They are punctual, and the buffet food is delicious. However, it may be a bit shaky on some days.

お迎えから全て日本語案内あり（カタコト含む）
時間に正確で、ビッフェのお料理もおいしいです
ただ、日によっては揺れるかもしれません

I participated in a family trip for both families that also served as a wedding ceremony. There were relatively few Japanese guests, which allowed me to enjoy the feeling of being abroad. The weather was nice, and the views of Waikiki from the ocean, as well as the sunset and night scenery, were very beautiful and enjoyable. The food wasn't particularly delicious. The variety of drinks wasn't extensive, but the prices were reasonable and not high. The main fireworks were farther away than I expected, which was disappointing. I wouldn't recommend attending just for the purpose of watching the fireworks.

It was a memorable experience.

結婚式を兼ねた両家の家族旅行で参加しました。
日本人客は比較的少なく、海外に来た感が楽しめました。
天気が良かったのでワイキキの街を沖から見た風景やサンセットや夜景はとても綺麗で楽しめました。
ご飯は美味しいわけではありませんでした。
ドリンクの種類はさほど多くありませんが、料金は高くなく、良心的でした。
メインの花火は思っていたより遠くて、残念でした。花火を見る目的で参加するならばオススメしません。

思い出にはなりました。

Staff were very welcoming from the very start of the cruise and the night just got better. Great food and fantastic entertainment. The staff couldn’t do enough for you. Would totally recommend to everyone. Wonderful way to celebrate my birthday.

The sunset was gorgeous and service very good. Food was fine, entertainment ok.

This was an amazing experience! I went with a group of friends and we all loved the environment of the cruise ship. The food was pretty amazing and the live jazz performance was very enjoyable. My favorite was definitely the Polynesian live dance performance. This 30-minute performance was the highlight of the night. The dancers wouldn't just perform, they would interact with the audience by giving high fives, springing peace signs at unexpected times and made our corner of the ship laugh the entire time. If you get seasick easily, I would recommend taking some kind of precaution/medication (the servers were able to provide some medication, too) since a few of my friends did start feeling queasy for a little bit and had to spend some time on the lower deck. However, don't let motion sickness keep you from the cruise! It was still altogether wonderful time.
