Princess Sunset Dinner Cruise
Reviewed by: Ted, 2014/07/13I highly recommend this cruise. The food and wait staff were top notch. Beautiful view of the island and sunset. Very worth the cost. The Mai Tai was so good I ordered a second one and that is not my drink of choice. lol

Excellent evening
Reviewed by: Smith party, 2014/06/19We brought our daughter with us. The dinner cruise was really nice. At first we were worried as when we left the harbor it was really hot, no breeze and we were baking while awaiting the dinner service. About 45 minutes into the cruise the boat made a bit of a direction turn and the breeze made all the difference. The rest of the cruise was enjoyable; food was adequate and dinner service was good. People on the boat were friendly and accommodating. The music was good, but only "our generation" knew the songs. Our daughter was clueless on the genre. We headed out toward the north west at a slow pace. The Maui mountains were a beautiful backdrop. The sunset was a bit obscured by the low cloud cover but still amazing. Before passing Kaanapali beach we turned back and headed in. I wish we had toured further but all in all it was a good experience.

Would not do it again
Reviewed by: William Barber, 2012/11/10When I chose this dinner cruise on our first trip to Maui, I thought "larger boat, more space". Instead, it was "larger boat more people". The four of us in our group could not believe how many tables were set up on the upper deck. In my opinion, it was not even safe if something had happened to the ship. I even had the sense that the ship was top heavy.
We sat near the bow in the center. For whatever reason, everyone was served around us before we received our food. We were absolutely the last people served, but we weren't the last table in any of the rows. I realize that some table has to be last, but it didn't make any sense in the way they served the tables. We even had to remind them that we hadn't been served. The people at the stern were close to the bar and the food. They were finished with dessert before we had been served. There was almost no way to get the three drinks included with the meal unless you ordered all of them at once. Too many people trying to order from one

Nice dinner option in Maui
Reviewed by: Clark Family, 2012/08/22Having never been to Hawaii, we wanted to experience many of the romantic options available for couples. This dinner cruise did not disappoint. Our only complaint was the table and chairs - small table with chairs bolted to the floor. Uncomfortable and inconvenient.
The meal itself was well prepared and quite tasty. As non-drinkers we enjoyed the free beverages; however there was always a wait at the bar and we had to wait to get additional drinks. A suggestion would be for the servers to bring non-alcoholic beverages to those without the "alcohol bracelet."
Though Mother Nature did not cooperate and the sunset was less than spectacular, the experience itself was great. The entertainment was well done and we enjoyed the singer's lack of conversation while playing nice music.
This is definitely something we would enjoy doing again.

enjoyable, nothing more
Reviewed by: brian, 2012/05/17I almost gave this one a overall 3 rating, but the views and weather were so nice I had to go with 4. There are however a few downsides to this one. First, there were a ton of empty tables, but they still opted to seat couples with other couples in tiny cramped tables forcing everyone to make akward conversation. Personally, I wanted a nice relaxing time with my GF to enjoy the experience, not have to talk to someone we just met. Second, the dinner was just ok. Maybe it is because everywhere else in Maui is so good, this dinner just didnt quite do it for me. The staff were friendly enough, but they work in an assembly line fasion and once you get your food its hard to find them again.
If you are very sociably and want to meet people this might be a better cruise for you. If you want a nice quiet evening with just you and your loved one this might not be the best option.

nice view/uncomfortable seating
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/11/16Pros: Food was delicious, service was good and the views were great, the music was great!
Cons: The seating was very uncomfortable, the chairs were bolted down and the seating was very close. I have been on a few other cruises, and was much more comfortable on them. Would not do it again.

Maui Dinner Cruise
Reviewed by: Sharpe/Blanchard, 2011/10/25Food was good and wonderful views from the top deck...music to be serenaded by in the back ground was quite nice as well. One thing we noticed is there were some empty tables and they could have spaced the couples out a little more to fill the tables and to give a more private setting for some couples to be a little more private with each other. They could have also sailed up or down the coast a little instead of just coasting around Lihania might made for some nice scenery sightings as well...but overall it's worth it !!!!

Enjoyed the Music & Cruise
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/09/22We booked this dinner cruise as a way to begin our Maui vacation after spending the day at grandparents memorial celebrating their lives & love of the island. There was a very unfortunate mix up with table seating that was a little awkward when we were asked to change tables in the middle of dinner. Server was to busy or distracted while serving desert & failed to serve some of the guests, leaving the desert tray on an empty table. Guests wondered if they should serve themselves.
Music was superb with a terrific variety of appropriate dinner & dance music. For us the music made the night !!
We would definitely suggest "a" sunset dinner cruise but would not feel comfortable mentioning the name of this one.

Very nice experience
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/03/17The sunset dinner cruise was a very pleasant experience. The food was excellent and the weather was perfect. We saw a whale and her calf nearby, which was a great experience, and the sunset and bright stars in the clear night sky were unmatched. Overall, I would recommend this cruise to other couples.

Dinner Cruise Comments
Reviewed by: Walt, 2008/09/25Cruise, dinner, music and wait staff were all great. The one negative area is their check in procedure which caused a delay in sailing. This needs to be improved.

Great service
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2008/07/03The service was wonderful. Anyone booking should know before hand that the stairs going above/beow decks is difficult for anyone with walking difficulties (with a cane). Food was very well prepared.
Comments from the entertainer regarding what we are passing as we cruise along the coast would be beneficial. But, it was very good music.
