Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise - Luxury Top Deck Sunset Dining Experience & Live Entertainment

Anniversary at Star of Honolulu Dinner Cruise

My wife and I were recently transferred from the mainland and celebrated our 41st Anniversary here in Honolulu without our family, So we thought a seven course meal sunset dinner meal cruise with Jazz entertainment would an ideal way to celebrate our weddding anniversary. Coincidentally we were sitted next to another couple from Chicago who just renewed their wedding vows after 41 years of marriage also and found a lot in common with them (same age of children and grandchildren and pathway in life), thus truly enjoyed each company - for they were traveling by themselves as well. The Captain, the crew were great (especially Foster our server), the service was fantastic, and the food was great. And of course the entertainment and the ambiance with sunset backdrop and Waikiki ocean shore scenery made it memorable.

Here's what you can expect from Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise with Live Entertainment / Three Star Steak and Lobster Dinner with Jazz entertainers.

Coast over the calm water of Waikiki aboard the most popular dinner cruise in Hawaii, where you
will be treated to live music, top dining and spectacular views.

Upon arrival at Aloha Tower Pier, you will be guided to the top deck, where the captain and crew are waiting to treat you to a Hawaiian Belini toast and seasonal appetizers. A sophisticated way to start off an elegant evening at sea.
7-Course Dinner

Served in the luxurious top-deck Super Nova room, this premium French-style dinner menu features only the best seasonal ingredients picked and prepared by expert chefs. Maine lobster and top-quality beef tenderloin are sure to be highlights of the meal.
Drink Service

As a Five Star dinner guest, the full drink menu is available for you to order from. Up to three super premium beverages are included with your meal.
Sunset

As the final moments of daylight fade over the Pacific horizon, the Super Nova room fills with warm light. Views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach

Due to rain that evening, there was no sunset. But three of us enjoyed the dinner and live entertainment. Fortunately, we were seated at a table right in front. Our waiter, Ethan was superb! He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Dinner was delicious! Would recommend this event.

The food was only ok. Service was very good. show was great! We had some wind which made some waves, so the boat was rocking a bit. Our server came around to ask if anyone was feeling seasick. Thankfully, no one in our group was.

My wife and I booked this during our honeymoon and definitely enjoyed ourselves! The food was delicious, the view was spectacular and gave us plenty of picture opportunities at sunset on the back of the ship! We definitely enjoyed the on board entertainment with the hula dancers, the gentleman on the ukelele, solo vocalist, pianist and they even had a saxophone player who dabbled in the art of the jazz flute! What a great night out!!

My family enjoyed the dinner cruise. The Staff were so accommodating to change the menu to their guests preference. I learned a lot which side I should wear my flower. The entertainment is awesome, complete with the proper attire to educate the guests about the Hawaiian tradition, I will highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone visiting Hawaii .Thanks to Emily of Veltra for helping me book the Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise.

Reviewed by: Shanice Williams

My wife and I had a very nice time on the cruise. We decided to do the stake and all you can eat crab legs. The food was good and our waiter was very funny. The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!

I ordered this for my friends, a family of 4, during their Hawaii trip. For they saw my posts, and love to go. However, because they have a 1.5-yr old, they can't go to the Five Star option, so they went to this one. They loved it. They said the lobster is about the size of their baby girl. Thank you for your service!

First timers.

Reviewed by: Christina Wyatt

It was our first activity as soon as we got off our flight. Even though we had jet lag after a 6 hour flight we had the time of my life. My husband and I have never done a dinner cruise before. He is scared of water and gets sea sick fast. From the time we stepped foot on the boat we were greeted, seated quickly, music and entertainment was great, and Marissa our waitress was superb; we loved her and the guitarist they both were totally cool. Everything they brought out was very flavorful, the lobster was succulent not rubbery, steak cooked perfectly, and dessert was delicious. The drinks were also very good especially the blue Hawaiian; it was perfecto. We did not think we would be able to eat everything they were putting in front of us but they gave us just enough time in between each course that made it easier. When it came for the dessert I was so full I didnt think I could eat another bite. We thought we would just take one bite. You know just to try it but as soon as we took one bite it was just too good we both ended up eating it all. At the end they had everyone dancing it was a very fun and delicious experience.

I flew from Los Angeles to celebrate a best friend's birthday in January 2017, and made up another friend's and my own birthday (in November). I treated my friends and myself with the Five Star - Luxury French Cuisine with Live Jazz. It's was a great evening with the hula dancer's Happy Birthday song to my friend, the waiters cordial and professional service, delicious meal, conversation/fellowship time, pianist and jazz music performance which was very interactive with the guests, and nice view of the Sunset, Wikikki hotel "forest" and Diamond Head. Everything was perfect! Absolutely loved it. And it's a great and memorial experience for my friends, too! Thank you all for serving us!
