Star of Honolulu Sunset Buffet Dinner Cruise & Polynesian Show

Not as advertised

Reviewed by: Melissa

This cruise was not very good. The food was cold and the meat was mostly fat and if I could guess, it was about a 2 ounce cut of fat. The show was 2 people, doing a song. Not what I would think a show of the culture would be.

Spectacular service!

Reviewed by: Jaxen

We received amazing service my wife and I! We celebrated our 1 month anniversary being married and Armando took outstanding care of us and we had such an amazing time. At the very end of the night we were pleasantly surprised with the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day, we were invited to dance up front and the servers were so enthusiastic and fun the entire time. 11/10 would recommend to a friend and we will be returning next special occasion!!

Sunset dinner and show cruise

Reviewed by: Ronald Emrick

The Star of Honolulu was awesome… what a great time me and my wife had… nice big ship lots of room… and what a show at the end… they do a great job getting us all in position out on the water for the sunset. I would highly recommend this option for a dinner sunset cruise… plenty of helpful staff and dinner service was superb…!!!!

Star sunset cruise

Reviewed by: Michael

The atmosphere was amazing! Looked very high end and it felt like it. Staff was very friendly and had great service. Super romantic dinner cruise that I highly recommend to any couple looking for a unique Hawai’i experience. Food was really good, not the biggest portions, but still we left satisfied. I will say whatever the dessert was, wasn’t very good. The only negative. It was this fruit flavored cake but it tasted like dish soap. Other than that this is a must!! Beautiful scenery and nice cool breeze with excellent food and live entertainment! We did pay for the middle tier I believe so it was the four course meal with two drink tickets. I think anyone would love this.

This was a great experience. The performers and all staff were professional and made sure we had a good time. Food portions were perfect so that we weren't super stuffed but full enough. Beautiful food presentation. Hats off to the culinary team and chef!!!! This was a memorable experience and the interactive dance for everyone at the end was a perfect way to end the dinner cruise. Only one recommendation would be to have air conditioning in the boat. Other than that, the night was amazing!!

Sailing was great. セーリングよかった

Reviewed by: ヒロシ

I participated in the fireworks viewing on Friday. Since it was said that we would get wet while boarding the boat, I went in shorts and sandals. I had seen fireworks before on the Star of Honolulu, but there was nothing obstructing the view this time, and since it was a catamaran yacht, we got close to the fireworks, making it much more impressive. Everyone was drinking Mai Tais, but I requested champagne or sparkling wine. They served us baby-sized bottles, one each. I drank quite a bit and honestly don't remember how I got back to the hotel—definitely a reminder to be careful not to drink too much!

金曜日の花火鑑賞に参加しましたボートに乗る際濡れるとなっていたので半ズボンとサンダルで行きました花火は以前スターオブホノルルでも見たことがあったのですが遮るものがないのとカタマランヨットなので近くまで行ったのでこちらの方が迫力があります 皆マイタイを飲んでいましたがシャンパン?スパークリングワインを所望しました ベビーサイズのボトルを1本づつ開けて出してくれていました 結構飲んでどうやってホテルに帰ったのかわからない位でした→飲み過ぎ注意ですね

Fireworks and Starry Sky Soothing Cruise 花火と星空のほろ酔いクルーズ

Reviewed by: 愛知のけろよん

When I went to the reception booth and showed my voucher, they said something like, "Please sign the agreement," and my husband and I each signed. We were told, "Be at that peach over there by 7:15," so we waited on the beach, and soon a boat approached from the sea.

We boarded the same boat that had been used for the previous sunset cruise. After the previous passengers disembarked and the cleaning and preparations were done, we were instructed to take off our shoes and roll our pants up to our knees as we got on board. The staff directed us to our seats, and we stored our shoes and bags in the space behind the chairs. After the staff introduced themselves and shared some safety points about the cruise, we set sail.

I was nervous about how to order drinks, but then they called out, "Who wants a Mai Tai? Raise your hand!" Almost everyone raised their hands. Plastic cups filled with ice and Mai Tais were distributed one after another, and cheers of "Kanpai!" echoed around. After that, we went to the counter to order our favorite drinks.

We moved around to take photos and exchanged shots with different groups. At exactly 8:00, fireworks went off, and there was a loud cheer. The weather was nice, the waves were calm, and the starry sky was beautiful. Along the way, the staff handed out snacks like Doritos.

Both the reception and the boat staff spoke only English, and they spoke quickly. Most of the passengers were foreigners, with probably just one other Japanese group besides us. I was nervous about how it would go, but everyone was a bit tipsy, laughing heartily, and we had a great time.

Even with my limited English, I was able to enjoy myself!

受付ブースに行ってバウチャーを見せると『同意書にサインしてねー』的なことを言われ、夫と各々サイン
『7時15分にあっちのピーチにいてねー』と言われ、浜辺でボーっと待っていたら沖から船が近づいてきた
前の時間のサンセットクルーズに使用したのと同じ船に乗るのね

前の乗客が降りて、清掃&準備が整うと、靴を脱いで乗るように言われ、ズボンを膝上まで捲り上げていざ乗船
スタッフが座る位置を指示してくれる
靴や荷物を椅子の背もたれにあるスペースに収納
スタッフの自己紹介とクルーズの注意点と思われる事を聞いて、いざ出航

どうやってドリンクの注文するのかとドキドキしてたら『マイタイ飲みたい人手を挙げてー』
ほぼ全員挙手
氷とマイタイが入ったプラカップが次々と配られて、あちこちでカンパーイの声
その後はカウンターのスタッフに好きな飲み物を注文しに行く

写真を撮ったり、違うグループ同士で撮り合いっこしたりで、好きな場所に移動
8時丁度に花火が上がって大歓声
お天気も良く波も穏やかで星空もキレイ
途中でスタッフがスナック菓子(ドリトス等)を配ってくれる

受付も船のスタッフも英語オンリー、しかも早口、乗客もほぼ外国人
日本人は私達以外に多分もう一組
どうなる事かとドキドキしたけれど、皆んなほろ酔いでゲラゲラ笑って楽しい時間を過ごせました

出川イングリッシュでも充分楽しめました

Not as good as I remember but still not bad

Reviewed by: Joanne Lynn

This was our second trip on the Star of Honolulu, the first being 9 years ago. I paid more this time for an upgraded meal. The meal was good, but I think we would have been happier with just the buffet. The upgrade wasn’t really worth the price we paid. The entertainment was good and the views were spectacular! If we come to Hawai’i again, I think we’ll just get the lowest price meal and still do the cruise.

Cheers to Mai Tai, excitement from the fireworks, and a relaxing cruise with the wind and waves. マイタイ乾杯、花火興奮、風と波でゆったりクルージング。

Reviewed by: リッキー

Last year, the waves were calm, but this year the waves were big, and I was anxious about how to board the boat. The catamaran ran up onto the sandy beach to guide the guests. I managed to board safely and got a bench seat on the side deck.

Right away, a Mai Tai was served, and I felt fantastic. We enjoyed the fireworks at Hilton Hawaiian Village and disembarked safely. The weather wasn't great, but the sense of freedom was outstanding; it was a really good activity.

昨年は波が穏やかでしたが、今年は波が大きくて、どうやって乗船するのか、不安でした。カタマラン号は砂浜に乗り上げて、お客さんを案内。無事に乗船し、サイドデッキのベンチ席をゲット。
早速、マイタイが振る舞われて気分は最高、ヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのと花火を鑑賞して、無事に下船。天候がイマイチでしたが、解放感抜群、とても良いアクティビティです。

Fireworks Viewing Sailing 花火鑑賞セーリング

Reviewed by: ちゅら

On June 24th (Friday), I was able to participate with peace of mind since there was a pickup service from Waikiki. The Hilton fireworks were somewhat lacking compared to Japanese fireworks, but the night view of Waikiki from the sea was very beautiful and wonderful. I was captivated and time flew by. I would like to use Veltra's tours again in Japan.

6月24日(金)ワイキキ送迎付きだったので安心して参加することができました。
ヒルトン花火は 日本の花火に比べると 物足りないものでしたが、 初めての海から眺めるワイキキの夜景はとても綺麗で素晴らしく 見飽きることなく あっという間に時間がたちました。ベルトラのツアーはまた日本でも利用したいと思います。

Reviewed by: Anica

Enjoyed the cruise and seeing Waikīkī from the sea
The buffet dinner was quite nice
The show was okay but not great.
It wasn’t really a show. It was dancers spread over the one deck. The dancers themselves were good but wasn’t a show. The waiters had to dance but most were not great. Armondo was good.
The lady singing was terrible.
The waiters service was good.
The Mai Tai’s were good.
Everyone was friendly.
If I did cruise again would do the deck 3 menu and show.

The best birthday present my husband has ever received we would happily do this cruise again and have highly recommended it to all of our friends and family who are still in Hawaii for our Sons wedding.

The food was delicious, my husband was very shocked at the variety and was enjoying it that much he wanted more. Only downside was feeling overly cramped in small seating space, besides that if we ever get back to Hawaii we would book this every day.

OK Experience

Reviewed by: Julie C.

There were six of us for the Deluxe 3-Star selection. My daughter-in-law got motion sick from the swaying of the boat, so I suggest taking Dramamine before boarding.

The "champagne" toast was non-alcoholic. Food was ok but not worth the price to upgrade. Drinks were not very good. Music during the cruise was too loud and mostly show-tunes, not Hawaiian songs.

Michael - our server - was quite good. Dancers and singers were enthusiastic. Views were lovely.
