To be honest, I wasn’t thrilled that this was the activity my husband wanted to do on the last night of our vacation. It seemed like an expensive boring way to end our trip. WRONG WRONG WRONG. This was one of the best activities we have done in Hawaii. Each person is given a ticket for one free alcoholic drink. I believe all non alcoholic drinks were free. Alcoholic drinks for sale after you use the free ticket (CC accepted). The apps were delish (veggies, hummus, pita chips, etc) and dinner was lovely. If you are vegan, vegetarian, GF then you should call 48 hours prior to let them know. I forgot to do that but still had plenty to eat. The entire service team was incredible but the winners were Boyd (Historian) and Bula (Musician). The cruise is roughly half history and half live acoustic music. In fact, Bula is one of the most sought after musicians in Hawaii. The views are incredible—we had a sunset on one side of the boat and a rainbow on the other. Although we didn’t see any marine life we were delighted to be on the boat with each other. Bring cash for tips. The boat does have lots of free sunscreen and Dramamine for purchase if you think you are getting motion sickness. Would def do this activity 100 times again.

I wasn't overly impressed with this tour. The vessel has 2 levels and because it was raining all those on the upper deck came down to the lower deck, making the lower deck quite crowded. The crew did their best to keep everyone dry by lowering the blinds but this of course them limited the view. I felt quite motion sick for most of the cruise so did not enjoy the tour.
