The sunset was cool.
After dark I enjoyed the Hawaii skyline even more.
Need to figure out a better flow through the buffet line. The people were entering the buffet area form both sides which caused confusion and not a lot of area to move around in.

The atmosphere of cruising while enjoying the breeze on the rooftop deck was fantastic. However, the air conditioning on the second floor was too strong, making it quite cold and not very comfortable for a long stay, so I recommend bringing a jacket for those participating. I think it's best not to have high expectations for the food. This time, I happened to choose the fireworks viewing plan, but there was over two hours between sunset and the fireworks, which made the waiting feel tedious and tiring. Ultimately, I think a plan without fireworks viewing would have been better. Next time, I would like to board with a plan that doesn't include fireworks viewing.
屋上デッキで風を浴びながらのクルーズの雰囲気は最高でした。
ただ、2Fフロアーはクーラーがききすぎて、寒く、とても長居できないので、参加される方は、上着持参されたほうが良いと思います。
料理はそんなに期待しないほうが良いと思います。
今回たまたま花火鑑賞プランを選びましたが、サンセットから花火までの時間が2時間以上あるので、途中時間を弄び、逆に疲れました。
結果的には、花火鑑賞がついてないプランの方が良かったと思います。
次回は、花火鑑賞付きプラン以外で乗船したいと思います。

I chose to participate in the cruise specifically for the fireworks on Friday, but on the day of the event, it was announced that due to strong winds, the fireworks would not take place, and we returned to port instead. What was even more disappointing was that after departing, we spent a considerable amount of time just circling around the harbor, with hardly any change in the scenery outside, leaving no enjoyment at all; we were just listening to music inside the ship. Additionally, the ship was not very large, which caused significant rocking, and many people were feeling seasick. I also chose a menu that included lobster, but the meat was dry and seemed old, resulting in a disappointing meal. While waiting for the fireworks, there was nothing to see outside, which made the time drag on and caused some frustration. Moreover, there was a pushy sales tactic for the photos taken during boarding, which was not very pleasant.
楽しそうなクルーズとして、花火のある金曜日をわざわざ選んで参加したのですが、当日は風が強いとのことで、最終的に花火の打ち上げはなく、そのまま帰港となりました。そのことよりも期待はずれなのは、出航してからも、港の中を 相当な時間ただグルグル回るだけで、船外の風景はほとんど変わらず、まったく楽しみは無く、船内での音楽を聴いているだけだったことでした。また、船があまり大きくないこともあり揺れがひどく、船酔いしている人も多くいました。さらに食事は、ロブスター入りのメニューを選んだのですが、身はパサパサで 古いのではないかと思うほど、残念な結果でした。また、花火を いつかいつかと待っている間、船外の風景は見るものもないため暇を持て余し少しイライラしている中、乗船時に取られた写真の押し売りもあり、あまり気持ちの良いものではありませんでした。

My husband and I recently moved to Oahu, and my parents were coming to visit us for Thanksgiving....I wanted to find something different we could do so I thought a dinner cruise would be perfect and relaxing. The food was subpar, and they made it seem like it was going to be a huge spread. We did not get to see fireworks, when the weather seemed fine. And towards the end of the cruise, we were just hanging out in the same area for quite some time before we had to dock. I am usually not one to complain, or write reviews, but I suggest you ask specific questions if considering these particular cruises so you are not left disappointed. We felt as though it was a waste of our money, and we would have rather gone out for a nice dinner, and sat outside to watch the sunset.

Two years ago, I experienced a dinner cruise on a catamaran, and based on that experience, I signed up again this time, but it was completely different.
First of all, last time we had a two-person table by the window where we could enjoy music and hula dancing while dining. This time, however, we were seated at a round table for eight on the first floor, and our tablemates were loud Westerners. I had requested the best plan, which was supposed to include lobster and was located near the restroom at the back near the entrance, but even though I knew it was a buffet, the food quality was the worst I had ever experienced. I accepted everything and finished my meal quickly to head up to the deck on the third floor. As I glanced at the second floor, I couldn't help but feel frustrated at the crew members who had assigned us to our groups when boarding, thinking, "Was it that person who made the mistake?"
The reason for my frustration was that the second-floor seating was arranged with individual two-person tables in a calm and quiet atmosphere, and I felt envious watching them enjoy their meals. What was I doing on the first floor? I realized that no one had lobster either! This only added to my anger and regret. I thought I would never ride again, so I kept it to myself, but I received an email asking for my experience, so I decided to share it in hopes it might help those considering this cruise.
2年前にもカタマランタイプの船にてディナークルーズを体験しました、その時のイメージにて
今回も申し込んだのですが、まったく別物でした。
まず、席が前回は2人掛けの席で、窓側を確保して頂き音楽やフラダンス等を鑑賞しながら
食事ができたものが、今回は1階フロアで円卓の8人掛け そして合い席の方々は大声で話する欧米の方でした。 最後尾中央の出入り口近くでトイレの一番近く、ロブスター付きの一番良いとされるプランでお願いしたものが、ビッフェと判っていたものの、食事内容は過去最低 すべて受け入れて軽く食事を済ませ、早々に3階のデッキにに上がるため途中の2階フロアを横目で見た途端に、乗船時にグループごとに振り分けていたクルーの顔が憎たらしく感じ、「あいつが間違えやがったのか!」と思え尚更悔しく思いました。
その理由が、2階席が2人掛けの個別席で用意されいてすごく静かな落ち着いた良い雰囲気の中
食事されている様子が羨ましく感じ、今の1階で食事していたのは何! そういえば誰もロブスターは無かったし! と考えれば余計に腹立たしくも思え後悔だけがこみ上げましたが、 2度と乗る事もないのでと胸の内にしまっていましたが、体験談を書いて下さいのメールが入っていたので、 検討中の方々に参考になればと 思い投稿することにしました。

I used this service on the day I arrived in Hawaii. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. When I tried to take a selfie, a staff member offered to take a photo for me. However, I felt that the variety of dishes at the buffet was a bit lacking, so I rated it one star lower. The taste was just okay. After finishing the meal, we moved to the upper floor to watch the sunset.
There wasn't much time between the meal and the sunset, and we had quite a bit of time to spare from sunset until we disembarked, but we enjoyed a wonderful time watching live performances and hula!
ハワイに到着した日に利用しました。
スタッフの方はニコニコ、とても感じの良い方達ばかりでした。
自撮りしようとしたら、写真撮りましょうか?とスタッフの方から声を掛けてくれました。
ただ、ビュッフェの品数が少し物足りなかったので☆−1です。味はまぁ、こんなものかなと行った感じです。
お食事が終わってから上の階へ移動し、サンセットを見ました。
食事〜サンセットまであまり時間がなく、日没〜船を降りるまで割と時間を持て余しましたが、生演奏やフラを見れて素敵な時間を過ごせました!

I think you'll definitely get a sense of being abroad, as there are many non-Japanese guests. The weather wasn't great on the day we boarded, but once we got a little further out, the clouds cleared and we were able to see the blue sky. We also got to see a big rainbow, and I couldn't help but rush out to the deck from inside the ship, laughing.
On Friday, we were able to see the fireworks from the Hilton Hotel, so at the time the fireworks started, we went up to the third floor and had the best seats to watch them! They turned off the lights on the ship, making it very easy to see! All the staff were wonderful, and we had an incredibly fun time!
I didn't find the ship's rocking to be bothersome, and the buffet food was delicious. If you're looking to enjoy a slightly different night, I definitely recommend this cruise!
お客様は日本人以外も多く、海外に来ている感は十分に味わえるかと思います。
乗船した当日はあまり天候が良くなかったのですが、それでも少し沖に出ると雲が切れて青空を見る事が出来ました。
また大きな虹を見る事が出来て、思わず船内から甲板に飛び出していました笑
金曜日はヒルトンホテルの花火を見る事が出来るので、花火が上がる時間には3階に上がり、特等席で見ました!!船の明かりを消してくれたので、とても見やすかったです!!
スタッフの方もみなさん良い方ばかりで、とってもとっても楽しかったです!
船の揺れもそこまで気にならなかったし、ブッフェのお料理も美味しかったです。
ちょっと違う夜を楽しんでみたい方には、是非このクルーズをオススメします!!

Dinner Cruise was awesome. Bus driver on the way was a ass and was nearly punched for being rude to my wife. Told her to be quiet and enjoy the ride. This after he told everyone one the bus we could joke with him because he used to be a shuttle driver.
Everyone on the bus had to drive by the exact same stops twice because he said we didn't know what he was doing.
Whoever scheduled the route didn't know what they were doing it took us nearly 50 minutes to drive around one block If the route would have gone the other way it might have lasted 10 enough said
Warm Aloha Don,
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the Sunset Dinner on board the Majestic but regret to hear that the bus driver was unprofessional. We did speak with bus company and they sincerely apologize but the bus driver did not mean to offend you in any way.
We hope that your family can return to Hawaii and experience the warmth of Aloha!

I wanted to see the fireworks from the seaside on Friday, so I participated. The ship was fully booked, and the buffet guests and lobster dinner guests were on the same floor. Buffet guests could quickly grab their food and leave, but those having the lobster dinner had to wait for their meals to be served, which took quite a bit of time.
The ship isn't that large, so even without a window seat, there was plenty of opportunity to see the outside scenery, which was nice. I was told that the window seats were fully booked, so I couldn't request one, but I was lucky enough to have a window seat.
When asked if I would go again, I think I would prefer to go to a restaurant at the Hilton to watch the fireworks instead. I think once is enough for me.
海側から金曜日の花火が見たいと思い、参加しました。船内は満席で、ビュッフェの人とロブスターディナーの人が同じフロアでした。
ビュッフェの人は早く取って、食べて出ていけるのですが、ロブスターディナーの人は料理が運ばれてくるのを待つしかなく・・・結構、時間がかかります。
船はそれほど大きくないので、無理して窓側指定しなくても十分、外の景色が見えて、良い感じでした。うちは窓側が満席ですと言われて指定できなかったんですが、運良く窓側の席でした。
次また行くかと言われると、ヒルトンのレストランに行って、花火を見る方がいいかなと思っています。
1回行けば満足かなと思います。

During pickup, the tour guide did not hold a sign, which caused confusion as I couldn't identify the vehicle. Another company's guide helped me, so I boarded just in time for departure. As usual, we took photos immediately upon arrival and were billed later. Despite being a buffet, the menu was unusually limited. It was difficult to order drinks. It was terrible.
ピックアップの時、ツアー担当者が看板を手に持たず、どの車かわからず困惑。他社のガイドさんが教えてくれたので、出発ぎりぎりに乗車。お決まりの到着すぐに写真撮影し後から請求。ブッフェなのに異常に少ないメニュー。飲み物をオーダーしにくい。ひどかった

This was my first time doing anything like this, and I have to say, it defied my expectations in a good way. I had prepared myself for something flashy—bordering on gaudy, even—but what I got was something casual and relaxing, yet still elegant. There were no forced performances or over-the-top dramatizations, just a well-prepared dinner, prompt service and outstanding views. In a word, the whole experience felt genuine. It didn't feel pre-packaged or manufactured. I highly recommend it, especially for a group.

The boat is very elegant and has three decks with excellent viewing areas. The large windows are a plus, no matter where you are seated you will get a great view of Waikiki. My favorite part was the lounge area on the second deck, after dinner we enjoyed some cocktails listening to great Hawaiian Jazz music. The transportation was punctual and the staff is very friendly. The dinner buffet is good and there are options for everyone.
