This was a well organized enjoyable event. I participated in the three-course dinner which actually was pretty good. Yes, of course, it’s banquet food but it was served hot and the food itself was delicious.
A free cocktail was included and additional cocktails, and Hawaiian tropical drinks, were available for a very reasonable fee.
I had a great server. I was quite impressed with how affectively the staff fed probably about 500 people. Well done!
The centerpiece of the event is the ability to witness and photograph the amazing sunset off of Waikiki Beach. It’s hard to describe how beautiful that experience was. Breathtaking.
My only wish is that there could’ve been some guidelines around tipping. I purchased the tickets from the concierge at my hotel. It felt like tipping based on the price of the full excursion was a bit much but it was also hard to determine what would be a decent tip for a very hard-working server team. I made a judgment call and hope I did the right thing
