This is the 2nd Luau I had ever been to, and it was amazing! Both were equally enjoyable, but something about thisnone was even more special.
We did the Celebrity Seating with transportation. The pick-up location was about a block up from our hotel. It's not a bad walk.
About a 20 min ride to the Aloha Tower (a couple pick ups), and we got our complimentary drinks (which were great), fresh flower lei, and gift bags. We received gift coupons that gave us an option of small trinkets to remember the occasion. The food was delivered to your table already portioned with everything on the menu. I was totally fine with that since everything on the menu was DELICIOUS and filling (to me). People around us would have rather had a buffet style. They way they did it made more sense and was great.
The show was awesome! They gave a history of each island and the cultural backgrounds. The dancing, music, and commentary were super entertaining. The one dancer who climbed the tree had some very amusing jokes and completely incorporated the crowd in his skits.
The location isn't quite on the beach, but it's on the water near a harbdor. The backdrop shaded us from the sun in our eyes, bit there is no cover. We had perfect weather, so the breeze was amazing, and there was NO rain. Thank heavens!
The ride back was immediately following the event. So ensure u take pics before and during. Afterward, it is a bit pinched for time. I tried to buy my pics, take selfies with friends and danceres, and also use the ladies' room... almost got left. Totally would have been my fault. Lol. Everything made for a memorable night!!
