All Reviews for Aloha Tower, Honolulu

I couldn't get a reservation for the Star of Honolulu, so I booked this one instead. It felt a bit smaller than the Star of Honolulu (the Star of Honolulu has four decks, while the Majestic has three).

I had a meal in the first-floor seating, and while the buffet menu was generally good, I couldn't eat the mushrooms or drink the water. The mushrooms tasted like they were rehydrated from powder and weren't good, and the water had a chlorine smell (the American elderly couple at my table complained about it as well). There was live music on the second floor, which was played over the ship's speakers. It seemed to feature quite a bit of older country music. Songs like "Stand By Me" had everyone on board singing along, creating a nice atmosphere. The third floor was the only open deck.

The fireworks lasted about five minutes, which was a nice way to wrap up the cruise. It seemed like the Star of Honolulu was anchored off Diamond Head the whole time, but this one was cruising around, which was a plus.

スターオブホノルル号の予約が取れず、こちらを予約。スターオブホノルル号より一回り小さい感じでした(スターオブホノルル号は4階、マジェスティック号は3階)。
1階席で食事を取りましたが、ビュッフェのメニューは概ね良かったものの、マッシュルームと水はいただけない。マッシュルームは、粉末を水で戻した感じで美味しくないし、水はカルキ臭い(同席していた米国人老夫婦も文句たらたら)。2階席で生演奏が行われていて、それが艦内放送でずっと流されていました。割と古めのカントリーが多かった感じ。スタンド・バイ・ミーとか、艦内の皆でサビを斉唱するなど、良い雰囲気。3階のみがオープンデッキ。
花火は5分程度でしたが、クルーズの最後の〆として良い感じでした。
スターオブホノルル号は、ダイヤモンドヘッド沖にずっと停泊しているようでしたが、こちらはずっとクルーズしていたのも○。

I signed up for the buffet course, but the live performance was only held on the second floor, and we were seated on the first floor, so we couldn't enjoy the performance. After finishing our meal, we were on the deck on the third floor, but I felt that the all-you-can-eat appetizers and drinks course might have been better. However, the fireworks on Friday were wonderful. It was truly a luxurious time.

ブッフェコースを申し込みましたが、生演奏は二階席のみで行われていて、自分達は一階席だったので、演奏は楽しめませんでした。食事を済ませ、三階のデッキに居ましたが、アペタイザー＆ドリンク飲み放題のコースの方が良かったような気もしました。でも金曜日の花火は素晴らしかったです。それはもう贅沢な時間でした。

The sunset dinner was truly a great experience. Everything was very well organized. We were served champagne to begin with and helped ourselves to fresh cheese, crackers and fruit trays. And those were left out for everyone the entire trip, which is beneficial when you have kids who might not like the whole dinner but still want to eat something. The entire dinner was fresh and tasty, and plentiful. Beverages were refilled as necessary but there weren't a lot of soda options. The sunset was beautiful. You just have to keep watch for the ideal time to take pictures of your experience. The entertainment was great, with music and dancers. Great experience overall!!

It was my first time watching fireworks. It was a wonderful time and I had fun. The fireworks were beautiful, and the food was good.

花火観賞は初めてでした。
素敵な時間になり楽しかったです
花火も綺麗だったし、食事もgood

Meal was so wonderful! Even the veggie hamburger provided us was wonderful!
The dancers were so amazing! And entertaining! Entertained to well past docking!
If I had a suggestion it would be for the website to further explain, or make it easier to order the veggie burger.

I wanted to ride the Star of Honolulu, but after seeing reviews about the buffet being overcrowded, I chose this one instead. It was a good decision as we were shown to our reserved seats and it wasn't cramped at all!

The Atlantis is three stories tall. There was a photo opportunity before the cruise, and you can purchase the photos later. (You can choose between just photos or photos & data, and I recommend the photos & data option. You can check the data via email right away.)

I made a reservation for the dinner buffet instead of just appetizers. We were seated on the second floor, which is recommended because there are hula shows and live performances. Plus, our seats were close to the show! I was able to dance with the dancers, which made for a great memory.

Although the selection of the buffet was limited, I still ended up quite full. Additionally, each table has a designated server, so you can order drinks from them, but the drinks do take a little while to arrive. When ordering drinks, you have to leave your credit card with them until the check is settled, which was a bit nerve-wracking... I think there might have been other options, but I can't remember. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

Before the fireworks, we went out to the deck to watch, and after the fireworks, we returned to the second floor for a finale interactive dance show with the staff.

In the end, everyone got excited, and it was a lot of fun! It became a wonderful memory!

スターオブホノルルに乗りたかったのですが、ビュッフェ形式のランクものは、ギュウギュウに詰め込まれるという口コミを見て、こちらにしました。
予約席に通してもらえ、ギュウギュウ詰めにもならず、正解でした！

アトランティスは3階建て。
クルーズ前に写真撮影があり、後から購入できます。
（写真のみと写真&データ購入が選べるので、写真&データがオススメ。メールでデータがすぐに確認できます。）

アペタイザーではなく、ディナービュッフェで予約。
通されたのは2階席でした。
2階席は、フラショーや生演奏があるのでオススメです。しかも、ショーに近い席でした！
ダンサーさんと一緒に踊ることができ、いい思い出となりました。

ビュッフェの数は少ないですが、けっこうお腹いっぱいになります。
また、テーブルごとに担当者がつくので、ドリンクはその方に頼めばいいのですが、ドリンクが出てくるのは若干遅いです。
ドリンクを注文する時は、クレジットカードを最初からチェックするまでずっと預けるのですが、これが少し怖かったです…他にも方法があったと思うのですが、覚えておりません。
一応、何事もなかったです。

花火の前にはデッキへ出て鑑賞し、花火鑑賞後に、また2階席に戻ると、スタッフの方々とフィナーレの参加型ダンスショーがありました。

最後はみんなで盛り上がって、とても楽しかったです！いい思い出になりました！

The food was exceptional especially considering the number of people being served. The staff was polite and very accommodating. The young entertainers interacted with the crowd and performed in their traditional attire. We came back to the port with a bang, singing and dancing. I would definitely recommend this cruise. My only disappointment was that the harbor/tower area used to be filled with shops. It was our last night on the island and it would have been nice to purchase those last minute sovereigns. Now it’s just empty with a few eateries.

This was a GREAT sunset cruise - food was good, drinks were good (and they did not even make you give in your drink tickets so not trying to get more out of you) and the show was good.

Just one thing to improve upon:
1. Seating took way too long. You know who is coming so you should have assigned seating and it should be really quick - not making people stand in stairwell for 20 minutes just to get seated

I was supposed to be picked up at the hotel, but since no car arrived at all, I called customer service. They said they left because they couldn't meet me at the designated spot. I was told to take a taxi, but I was informed that it was too late and asked if I could change the date instead. I was at a loss for words due to their attitude, especially since I was looking forward to the fireworks.

It's puzzling why we couldn't meet at the designated spot, which was just the hotel parking area and not that large. The hotel staff had also told me that it was fine to wait on this bench, so I wasn't late for the meeting time.

I was able to change the date and board the boat the next day. The scenery and the food were both very good.

ホテルにピックアップに来てくれるはずが、全然車が来ないのでカスタマーサービスに電話したら、待ち合わせ場所で会えなかったから行ってしまったとのこと。タクシーで来てください、あーでももう時間が間に合わないですね、日にち変更できますけど？と素っ気なく言われました。花火を楽しみにしていたのに、向こうの対応に言葉が出ませんでした。
待ち合わせ場所はホテルの駐車スペースでそんなに広い場所でもないのに、なぜ会えなかったのか不思議でたまりません。ホテルのスタッフにも、このベンチで待っていればいいよと言われたので、こちらが待ち合わせの時間に遅れたわけでもありません。
翌日に変更してもらって船に乗ることはできました。景色も料理もとてもよかったです。

The Star of Honolulu sunset cruise, was awesome! My husband surprised me with the dinner cruise to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Once on board, we met and had a picture taken with the Captain. We visited with some of the staff, they were fascinated that we were American Indians. Once the cruise set off, appetizers were served and it was the beginning of the amazing 7 course dinner. Each course was better than the previous dish served. The serving staff were fantastic, took care of any needs or questions we had. The entertainment was extraordinary, from the piano player, Hawaiian dancers to the beautiful singer at the end. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend this to anyone who wants to do something very special for any occasion.

From the moment that we first interacted with staff at the shuttle bus pick-up, the whole package was seamless. Staff made the bus ride and boarding so easy that we just had to be swept along and enjoy the experience. The management on the boat was also superb, but kept personal. The Friday night fireworks just completed a beautiful night.

Food service was somewhat quick, but understandable and good. Drinks did take some time and got confusing but the wait staff remembered and was very organized. Bartender could have used more help or another bartender to handle the people capacity. Overall great service and wonderful show!

Definitely a 5-star, money well spent experience at the premium top deck! From the service, music, accomodations, food to the beautiful sights!

There is a live band and hula dancing, and the guests also participate and dance together. I am close with the band members, and they always accommodate my requests. It's fun, and I always look forward to it.

生バンドとフラダンスもあり、お客も一緒に参加して踊っています、私はバンドのメンバーとも親しく、いつもリクエストに応じてくえます、楽しいです、
いつも、楽しみです。

The band performance and stage were only on the second floor, and you couldn't access them from the deck. If there hadn't been fireworks, this tour would have offered nothing besides the cruise for this price. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sorry.

バンド演奏やステージも2階のみでデッキから降りても入れない状態でした。
これで花火がなかったらクルーズ以外なにもないツアーでこの値段、個人的にはお勧めしません。ごめんなさい。

Until dinner, I wondered if I could eat more, so I chose this. Also, the all-you-can-drink option was appealing.

There were four types of appetizers, but since we had a late lunch, this was enough for us. Among them, two were edamame and yakitori. The rest included fruit, meatballs, and a variety of drinks like sparkling wine, wine, beer, and soft drinks, so I had no complaints.

This price includes a tip. We were the only Japanese people who ordered this course, so it really felt like we were in a foreign country. It was like watching a movie with foreign couples of all ages around us. Next to us was a couple celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary from Texas. I spoke with a refined lady from New York in the restroom, and we were able to communicate even with my limited English conversation skills.

As a bonus, on the way back, we were so drunk that we fell asleep on the bus. The driver probably thought, "What should I do with these guys?" and woke us up to ask where we were going, then kindly dropped us off right in front of our hotel. Thank you for your help!

ディナーまで、食べれるかな？て事で、
こちらを選びました。それと、飲み放題が、魅力でした。
アペタイザーは四種類でしたが、お昼が、遅かったので、私たちにはこれで十分でした。このうち、二種は枝豆、焼き鳥でした。後はフルーツ、ミートボール、飲みホも、スパークリングワイン、ワイン、ビール多種、ソフトドリンクで、不満はありません、
チップ付きで、このお値段です。
このコースを頼んだのは日本人は私達だけでしたから、外国に来た感が、半端なかったです。外人カップルの老若男女問わず、映画を見てるみたいでした。お隣はテキサスから来られた結婚20周年のご夫婦。トイレでお話ししたのはNYから来られた上品なご婦人。拙い英会話でもコミュニケーションとれました。
おまけなんですが、帰りのバスで、酔って爆睡してた私たち。ドライバーさんが、多分？こいつらどうしようって事でどこまで？って起こされて、ホテルの前まで送って下さいました。お世話かけました。ありがとうございました。

The food was very good. You get about 30 mins between the food and show to go to the top and see the sunset. Good spot for pictures. Then you come back down for dessert and a show, the show was okay. After that they have dancing you dont have to participate if you do not want to. You can pay for additional drinks.

We participated as a family. The staff were friendly and attentive, and there was a wide variety of delicious dishes.

家族で参加しました。スタッフの方たちは笑顔で気配りもよく、料理の品数も豊富でとても美味しかったです。

The cruise lasted too long, and the buffet was disappointing. The fireworks that I had been looking forward to ended in an instant, leaving me feeling somewhat let down. The sunset was beautiful, but you can enjoy the sunset without being on the boat...

クルーズの時間が長すぎるのと、バイキングの内容が残念。待ちに待った花火はあっというまに終わり、なんだかな～という感じ。夕陽は綺麗でしたが、船に乗らなくても夕陽は眺められるし……

Last year, I went on a sunset sailing trip on the catamaran, but this year there were light snacks (which turned out to be quite filling!) along with a welcome drink (champagne) and free drinks (unlimited alcohol). However, you must wear an armband to enjoy the free drinks! I was a bit disappointed that the communication and handover were not thorough, but the cruise itself was fantastic. I highly recommend it to everyone.

昨年はカタマラン号にてのサンセットセーリングでしたが今年は軽食（軽食との事でしたが結構なボリュームがあり満腹になります！）にウェルカムドリンク（シャンパン）にフリードリンク（アルコール飲み放題）との事でした。
ただフリードリンクにはアームバンドを付けていなければダメ！とのことでした。連絡、引継ぎが徹底されていなく少しがっかりでしたがクルーズ自体は最高でした。
皆さんにもお勧めします。

The boat was a little bit too crowded, but the dinner experience and the view of Waikiki were great.

I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunset overlooking the hotels and beaches of Waikiki, as well as Diamond Head.

Since it had rained earlier, there was a rainbow, and I was lucky enough to see a whale spouting water, making for a fulfilling time.

ワイキキのホテルやビーチ、ダイアモンドヘッドを一望でき綺麗な夕日を楽しむことができました。

雨が降った後だったので虹が出ていたり
運良くクジラの潮吹きも見れたりと充実した時間を過ごすことができました。

I participated with my girlfriend as a graduation trip. The food was delicious, and the pineapple, in particular, was exquisite. We took photos before boarding, and I was very satisfied with the service that offered data for around 1000 yen during the cruise! When I visit Hawaii again, I definitely want to participate again.

卒業旅行として彼女と参加しました。
料理も美味しく、特にパイナップルは絶品でした
乗船前に写真を撮り、その後クルーズ中に1000円前後でデータをプレゼントというサービスも大変満足しました！
またハワイに訪れたときは、是非とも参加したいと思います。

We loved it. They were very nice to us on board. Thank you again

I was satisfied with everything.
From the transportation to the service on the boat,
seeing the sunset and Waikiki from the sea, and finally even spotting a whale made for a very enjoyable time.
The staff's response was also wonderful.

全てに満足でした
送迎から船内でのサービス
夕日や海からのワイキキ、最後にクジラまで見れて、とても楽しい一時でした。
スタッフの方達の対応も素晴らしかったです。

We booked the sunset dinner cruise as a last minute activity for the final day of our trip. We booked the buffet tickets and made our own way to and from the venue. What a fantastic time! The food was great with a good selection, the live music and entertainment was fun and engaging, and the sunset views were spectacular. This was an excellent way to round off our trip and we would do it again in a heartbeat.

There is another dinner cruise available, but since the hotel pickup is charged separately, I chose the Majestic, which includes the pickup fee. The hotel pickup was on time, which surprised me since it's usually late.

I was a bit concerned about the quality of the food with the free drinks, but I was satisfied with both the quantity and quality. The variety of drinks was comparable to business class.

Enjoying champagne and wine on the deck of the ship while gazing at Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head is the ultimate luxury. We even got to see whales.

As it gradually got darker, the sight of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head bathed in the sunset made me truly feel like I was in Hawaii.

もう一つ別のディナークルーズがありますが、ホテル送迎が有料なので、送迎料込みのマジェスティック号を選びました。ホテルの迎えは定刻通りで、遅れるのが普通なので、びっくりしました。
フリードリンクで食事の質がちょっと心配でしたが、量・質ともに満足できました。飲み物もビジネスクラス並みにいろんな種類がありました。
船のデッキでシャンパンやワインを飲みながら、ワイキキ海岸・ダイヤモンドヘッドを眺めるのは最高の贅沢ですね。鯨も見ることが出来ましたよ。
だんだん暗くなって、ワイキキ海岸・ダイヤモンドヘッドが夕日に染まる光景は、ハワイに来たことを実感させてくれます。

Worth it! I was always skeptical about going on dinner cruises and did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. To start off, the crew really does go above and beyond to ensure a perfect experience. You start the evening off with a Bellini toast and some delicious appetizers on the top, back deck where there is a ukulele player and a hula dancer. From there they take your party to your table on the inside top deck of the ship. Throughout the course of 7 course dinner, which was amazing, there are musicians playing. The music was perfect for dinner. Not too loud but made for a very enjoyable, entertaining evening. I would recommend the 5-star dinner for couples more than families with children. While it is enjoyable for the whole family, the ambiance make for an exceptionally romantic and memorable evening in Hawaii with that special someone.

First time I went on a boat, first time eating lobster, first time in Hawaii! Everything was perfect from A to Z!

We enjoyed the Dinner cruise very much.The food and entertainment were great.Right from the transport pick up everything very well organised.It was a beautiful evening and lovely to see Waikiki from the oceon,I also saw a Whale jump right out of the water for the first time.
