All Reviews for Aloha Tower, Honolulu

My wife, 11 month old daughter, and boarded the Star of Honolulu, on the One Star package. The night started with a Mai Tai, which was quite strong (coming as a surprise to me as in my experience, “welcome drinks” tend to be very watered down), and we were taken to our table with our appetizers ready and waiting for us. The food was fantastic! I’m going to be honest; I had low expectations for the food. All you can eat crab on a ship, generally does not mean “high quality” to me. And boy was I proven wrong. The crab especially was very tasty, and my wife and I definitely took advantage of the “all you can eat” description. The show was also very fun to watch, with examples of dances of different styles from around Polynesia. The service from our waiter, Chad, was excellent as well: my water was never empty, empty plates were taken as soon as I was finished, and the crab kept coming. I’ve already suggested the Star of Honolulu to family members for when they visit.

Excellent value, responsive and didicated to service. Thanks

My wife and I enjoyed the activity.

This cruise was def. something worth seeing! It gets a little chilly out on the ocean; should bring a jacket, but it def. was amazing and beautiful! I totally recommend it to anyone!

This cruise was so much fun! We really enjoyed the crablegs, and the Mai Tai's are the best in Waikiki! They really get you involved by getting you up to dance and sing! It was my wedding night, so they sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song to me and my new hubby, and the next day was my birthday so they also sang Happy Birthday to me! It was a great, fun, romantic activity, and I would definitely do it again!

Very smooth ride, we had a blast! Would do it again

had a great time on the cruise. food was great. the view was awsome. the staff was great. loved the entertainment. you are treated very well.

The Quintessential Hawaiian Experience

If you're looking for a pleasant, relaxing dinner on the water this is the option for you - I would highly recommend the the three star option - the slight price difference is worth it.

Although there are a lot of guests on board it's not loud nor do you have a feeling of being over crowded. The lobster is wonderful and they have staff that come and around crack the shell for you! you can get as messy as you want though once she's revealed the majority of the crayfish for you

Steak is a small serve but very satisfying and in between meals popping up to the top deck is fantastic - the Honolulu skyline is gorgeous and the fresh warm air simply wonderful - it's a great way to start or end any Hawaiian Vacation or celebrate a special occasion.

Mahalo Star of Honolulu Team!

Food was very good. Took the cruise on Friday and saw fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village which were spectacular. Also, took the city lights tour which was spectacular as well.

Our group really enjoyed the cruise. We paid extra for window seating and it was worth it. Otherwise you end up in the middle of the room in the traffic pattern for the buffet. Not alot of variety was offered at the buffet. Limited vegetable and salad options. Dessert Buffet food was also limited. If possible take the Friday night cruise so you can see the fireworks near the Grand Waikikian lagoon. We stayed at the Grand Waikikian so were the second group picked up which meant we were on board the bus for several pick ups. Good thing was being the 2nd stop at the end of the night.

Wife and I took the dinner cruise for our 25th anniversary. We had a great time. The dinner was excellent, the service was not bad. You have to remember everybody came on at the same time, so everybody wants something right away. The setting was amazing, nice boat, weather was awesome, and the scenery and sunset so beautiful. We would definately recommend this excursion.

the staff was great

We enjoyed the dinner cruise. I called beforehand and asked what the dress code was, and I was told slacks and a Hawaiian shirt. We complied but were disappointed to see that the majority of the guests were dressed in shorts, tank tops, cut off jeans and generally looked as if they were going to a beach party. Given that we paid over $400 for the dinner with tip I think you should enforce the code. I don't like sloppy people and if you want to maintain a 5-star, 5-course event I would suggest you update your activities page to highlight the dress code. Laid back is one thing, unkempt is another. That aside, the cruise was wonderful, the service great and I would recommend to others and likely do a repeat for us. Thanks again.

Great evening and entertainment. Sat by door which despite staffs attempts to block off, was continually opened by customers causing a lot of wind while we ate.

I payed an extra 25 dollars per person for a guaranteed private table but the couples table next to us was maybe 6 inches away. Not very private at all. This issue aside it was a great experience and we had a lot of fun.

We originally tried to book the Navatek Cruise for Valentine's Night, but it was fully booked. We then booked the following night (Wednesday 15th Feb), but after receiving our confirmation we were advised that 15th had been overbooked, so we were moved to the 16th. Found this slightly strange, as we were a party of 10, however, no great harm done as we were all free on the 16th.
Bus pick up was slightly early, but we lost this advantage when a couple of passengers at one of the other hotels were late, however, still reached the dock in plenty of time.
Cruise itself was very good - we had pretty good views from our table. The food and entertainment was excellent and service fast and efficient. Drink prices also very reasonable (a decent bottle of red wine was only $ 20.00).
Views from up on the viewing decks were spectacular, and everything finished bang on time at 7.30 pm, with buses sitting waiting for us at the dock, before a speedy ride back to our hotel.
Overall a very good exp

This is our second Sunset Cruise and we had a wonderful time. Service and Entertainment was outstanding. Food was average, and uneventful. We are not fans of meat cooked rare and would have liked to had the meat cooked to our liking. We look forward to taking this dinner cruise again, when we are in Honolulu.

The whole evening went very smooth, from the Transportation pick up to the actual cruise. Very well organized and the food was really good. The entertainment was very enjoyable as well, and everyone in our dinning area seemed to enjoy the evening. The sunset was very nice even on a cloudy evening. The view back into Waikiki was amazing.

My trip to Oahu was for my honey moon. Everything was amazing! After 2 weeks of tours, hikes, shopping, snorkeling & beach fun in the sun-we needed something quiet & romantic. So our last night on this beautiful island was spent on board the Navatek Sunset Dinner Cruise. I chose this cruise line because I am easily motion sick & was told the build of this ship helped prevent a lot of the swaying you experience. It was great! Food was good-hawaiian pork, chicken teriyaki, potatoes & veggies(you want fancy-up grade),drinks were yum-decently priced. The crew was very nice! The most important part of the ship was the observation decks-awsome!! Plenty of room for everyone. I got some beautiful pics & wonderful memories! & the Friday night fire works made a fabulous ending to a perfect evening at the end of an amazing trip!! I would rebook this cruise on every trip I made!

The dinner cruise was awesome. We really enjoyed the show, dinner, and staff. The all you can eat crab legs really hit the spot. Thanks for making our last night in Hawaii a memorable one.

Sunset Dinner Cruise, Cocktails, Dancing.. what a fun night! Let me tell you, seeing a sunset in Hawaii is wonderful but seeing it from the ocean, its like a paint brush painted the skies for the evening. Perfect for that special romantic moment with your loved one!

Unfortunately, I did not see the mystical green flash, but we did see several dolphins and the sunset over the water, magical!

Staff was very attentive and came by my dinner table through out the evening to make sure I was taken care of. Everyone on-board participated in the dancing. Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunset Dinner Cruise!

My Boyfriend and I had an incredible time on the Navatek. The employee who greeted us at the hotel was our server on the boat. She was the nicest most attentive women ever. The sunset was beautiful. This trip was a sheer pleasure.

I took my 11 and 15 year old on the cruise. We paid for the top deck with the lobster and steak and with a window seat. We all had a great time. Food was very good, view was excellent, and the ride was smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better way to spend our last night in wonderful Hawaii!!

Everyone was extremely helpful. My husband and I were directed to our table right away. When we decided to go up deck for the view we went back to our table and had our salads waiting for us. The lobster was delicious and they even helped crack it open. The entertainment was fun and engaging and when it came to disembark the ship, it was fast and painless...no line! My favorite part was the view of Honolulu and Waikiki at sunset.

GOOD

My husband and I spent our last night in Honolulu on the Star of Honolulu's Three Star Cruise and it is one of our fondest memories. The crew was great, the view incredible, and the food was top notch. Watching the sun set from the top of the Star of Honolulu was an incredible treat! Thank you and I cannot wait to go again!

The food wasn't as good as i expected, but i think you are mainly paying for the cruise. the mai tais were great! steak could have been cooked a little more. i dont like crab, but my boyfriend loved it! this is def a great activity for a little romance for couples for a nice evening.

The entertainment on this dinner cruise was exceptional; there is so much culture, talent, and professional attention to detail! I really appreciate how dedicated the dancers and musician were to their crafts!

My son and daughter-in-law were celebrating their 28th Anniversary and I gave them this Sunset Dinner Cruise as a gift. They loved it - said food was great and the view of the sunset was awesome. They were able to get lots of beautiful pictures for their album. I would recommend this cruise for everyone. I regret not doing it for my husband and myself since we also were celebrating our 55th anniversary but I didn't want to intrude on their time.

The Sunset Dinner Cruise was a pleasant experience and we would recommend this event to anyone who would ask and/or we knew that were planning a visit to Oahu.

The food was served hot and was excellent. The entertainment was fair. The Cruise along the coast line was fantastic. The crew was courteous, professional, and informative.

Based on the time of the year, the only thing that I would recommend is that the dinner should start a little earlier so that you have more time on deck to view the sites and take a lot of photographs since night falls pretty quick.

Yes, we would do this again on our next trip to Oahu.
