Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Review of Star of Honolulu

Reviewed by: Lonnie Boaz

Despite the ship having to return to port because of rough water we had a wonderful time. The drinks were good and the food was delicious. The lobsters were delicious and the steak was about the most tender and tasty steak I have ever had. The music and show were great.I was very appreciative that one of the dancers took a picture with me after the show. The staff was eapecialy helpfull and particularly your assitant manager.The Star of Honolulu was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. We would definitely do it again. Highly recommended.

Three Star Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: Dorothy Mason

Everything was well managed even from the purchase on line of tickets. Pickup was on time in topscale bus. Staff was dressed in 1st class attire. Greeting by staff at dock was nice. Seating was fine with exception of sun shining directly in my husband eyes . it was a little distracting. Dinner and the drinks was great, along with the service. The entertainment after dinner was fantastic. Truly, truly mesmerizing.
Would recommend without hesitation.

My wife and I had a great time! The food was good and the staff were all extremely polite and enthusiastic. The show was a treat and the dancers were all very gracious and patient about taking pictures with the guests. The views from the boat of the city and Diamond Head alone were worth the money. We'll surely do it again on our next trip back.

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: msblock

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

Fireworks Cruise 花火クルーズ

Reviewed by: アオキ

It's not a very large ship, so at first, I was a bit nervous, but there was little rocking. The elementary school children were able to experience the feeling of being a captain at the helm, and the wind felt nice. Above all, the fireworks were beautiful and left me impressed.

あまり大ききな船でないので、さいしは、ドキドキしましたが、揺れもすくなく、小学生の子は、運転台で擬似船長気分を味わうこともできて風が、気持ち良く、なんと言っても花火が、きれいで感激しました。

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi

This was an amazing sunset dinner cruise for my girlfriend and I. We had attended this cruise as a birthday gift to her, and it felt like we were on a honeymoon. This cruise is meant for couples because it is amazingly breathtaking with the view of Diamond Head crater, the deep blue ocean, and the beautiful shores of Waikiki. Then to top it all off with a sunset upon our west coast beaches.

Be careful of seasickness! 船酔い注意!

Reviewed by: さくらファミリー

Since it was titled a dinner cruise, I dressed up, but it was completely inappropriate... Everyone was in shorts and flip-flops. On the boat, we were instructed to take off our shoes. There was very little space to sit, and we stood for two hours, being rocked back and forth. The number of guests complaining of nausea gradually increased, and we were almost in a situation where the restroom couldn't be used. Fortunately, I had taken motion sickness medication, so I managed to get through it, but I was worried about the restroom, so I didn't eat or drink anything. Finally, after a long wait, the fireworks lasted only a few minutes... It was just kind of disappointing.

ディナークルーズというタイトルであったので、ドレスアップしたのですが、まったくのお門違いで・・・皆短パンにビーチサンダル。船上では靴を脱げの指示。着席出来るスペースも少なくて2時間立ちっぱなしの揺られっぱなし。吐き気を訴える客が次第に増えて、危うくトイレが使用できない状態になる寸前でした。私は幸い酔い止めを飲んでいったのでなんとか切り抜けましたが、トイレのことが心配で、飲まず食わすでした。やっと待って上がった花火も数分間で・・・なんだかなぁ~って感じでした。

Excellent Dinner Cruise

Reviewed by: BGC

We had a blast!, great food, all you can eat crab legs. great service and great show! If you're still deciding what dinner cruise you should take, here's your answer! You can't go wrong! My suggestion take this event as your grand finale of your vacation, probably on the last day of your trip. Thanks so much hawaiian activities, they added Hanauma Bay trip as a extra bonus at no cost( but you need to pay for the entrance fee)which you can not missed! My family and I had a wonderful time.

The prices are on the higher side, and the fireworks... お値段高め、花火は…

Reviewed by: あちゃみ

A little while ago, at the end of 2011, I participated in an event where we could see fireworks from a boat.

We set sail around dusk, and there were about 20 people, I think? I had heard it was an English tour, but it was quite accommodating for Japanese speakers, so it wasn't a problem if you couldn't speak much.

The meal was served buffet-style. There were a decent variety of dishes, and I thought the food itself was tasty. I believe drinks were included for the first two.

The fireworks lasted about 15 minutes. If you imagine a Japanese fireworks festival, it might feel a bit lacking.

However, if you focus on the value of seeing fireworks from a boat, I don't think it's bad at all.

Personally, I felt my level of satisfaction was just okay.

少々前ですが、2011年末、船上から花火が見れるということで参加しました。

夕暮れ時に出向し、約20人くらいだったでしょうか?
英語ツアーと聞いていましたが、日本人慣れしており、喋れなくてもほぼ問題ありません。

お食事はブッフェ形式。
種類はそこそこあってお食事自体は美味しかったと思います。
ドリンクは確か2ドリンクまでは料金込みでした。

花火は15分ほどだったと。
日本の花火大会を想像してしまうと、やっぱり物足りなさはありましたが。

船上から花火を見えるという価値を重視すれば、すごくわるいわけではないと思います。

個人的には満足度はそこそこかなーと思いました。

Beautiful views from the boat, areas on boat need work

Reviewed by: Amber

My grandmother and I chose this as something different to do from the sightseeing and beach time we had been enjoying. The transportation is great even for those of us that are familiar with the island, and well worth the additional cost. The seating area is packed and truly would be more enjoyable with fewer people crammed in. The food and service were far better than expected and the "All You Can Eat" crab truly lives up to the name. The boat from an external view is beautiful and makes a striking appearance out on the open ocean. On the decks there are areas that could be maintained better, especially the areas that food is served from and are in plain view of guests. The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and would be a great place to spend a romantic evening with a significant other. Overall this is something that I am glad we experienced and would be willing to take others on.

The location and scenery are amazing! ロケーション・景色は最高です!

Reviewed by: oldnick

We used this place for a meal with both families after the ceremony. On that day, the waves happened to be high, and since it was a buffet style, it was difficult for family members to go get food due to seasickness.

Since it’s not a large ship, it may not be suitable for those who are prone to seasickness. Other than that, I think it’s a tour where you can participate with peace of mind without worrying about language!

挙式後の両家合わせての食事の際に利用させて頂きました。
当日はたまたま波が高く、ビュッフェスタイルの為家族が船酔いしてしまい食事を取りに行く事が難しかったです。

大型船ではないので、船酔いをする方には向いていないかもしれません。
それ以外は言葉の心配もなく、安心して参加できるツアーかと思います!

Great food and show

Reviewed by: Kendall

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.

  • Getting hungry

  • The taro bread was very good

  • The feast

  • The first time I've seen Diamond Head from the ocean

  • My daughter kept waving at the dancers

  • You're free to walk the decks during the cruise as well

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The sunset and fireworks were both amazing! However, on that day, the wind was strong and the waves were high, causing quite a bit of rocking on the boat. My companion got seasick, so I had to take care of them, which meant I could only enjoy about half of the experience. Still, I was satisfied. Despite causing some trouble for the staff, they responded with smiles throughout, and I am very grateful for that.

サンセット、花火ともに最高でした!
ただ、この日は風が強く波も高く船の揺れがけっこうあり、連れ添いが船酔いをしてしまい介抱していたため半分位しか楽しめませんでした。それでも満足でした。

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!

Waikiki Sunset Dinner & Fireworks Sail with Cocktails - Spirit of Aloha Cruises

Enjoyable, but not worth the cost

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Ship was clean, sailing was fun. The food was not especailly great (except the cream puffs--defrosted frozen, love them!), and I was surprised that the alcohol was not good quality and the beer was limited to two types. We just sailed back and forth for about 1 1/2 hours off the coast of Waikiki, saw fireworks that lasted about 10 mins, and couldn't see them well unless you were on the front of the boat (and not everyone could fit up there. The crew were polite but not very interactive. Wouldn't do it again.

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.
