We enjoyed the entire experience. It was my wife's birthday and the cruise was awesome and the food was delicious. Our server Mililani was so accommodating and polite. Her demeanor was professional, experienced and helped make the event better. I am allergic to beef and I was going to pass on the beef dinner course. Mililani was able to get me fish instead and I enjoyed our dining experience with my wife. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience from the time we stepped on board to the ease of departing. The food was exceptional. My grandson who was with me said wow this is what fine dining is all about. And it certainly was fine dining. The wait staff was excellent and the show was mesmerizing. Everyone worked hard to make our evening as special as possible.
