Pacific Star Sunset Buffet and Show Cruise

Sunset dinner and cruise was fun, we had visitors from out of town who wanted to do something 'touristy'. We opted for the buffet dinner, which was good by buffet standards, the complimentary mai tai was ok, and the show was a bit loud, making conversation difficult. After we ate, we spent the majority of our time out on deck taking in the beautiful views of Waikiki and Leahi under a full moon. The view itself was worth the admission fee. The staff was accommodating and the cruise was punctual with the time scheduled. It's fun if you haven't done it in a while.

We were on our honeymoon and we had a very lovely time. all the staff members were helpful and nice. also the scenery was incredible especially the sunset. Captain Stephen was super nice and gave us an extra special experience. he prepared a rose for us and gave us a chance to take pictures at the right time and right place.

I was extremely disappointed with this experience from the moment we arrived at the boat. For approximately $320, I expected a beautiful, professionally organized Hawaiian cultural experience with quality entertainment, music, and hospitality. Unfortunately, it was quite the opposite. The dancing was particularly disappointing. Instead of the graceful, beautiful Hawaiian performances I remembered from visiting Hawaii 30 years ago, we experienced extremely loud chanting, shouting, aggressive movements, and performers striking their own bodies. Some performances reminded me more of frightening rituals than the peaceful, elegant cultural entertainment I had anticipated. I understand that different Polynesian traditions have different performance styles, but this was not the experience I expected or enjoyed. The musical entertainment was equally disappointing. The two guitarists and accompanying musicians did not deliver the professional quality I would expect at this price. The organization was absolutely terrible. There appeared to be hundreds of people, perhaps 600, crowded onto the boat with virtually no clear instructions. Nobody explained where to stand, where to go, what activities were available, or what would happen next. People were bumping into one another, particularly around the doors, and everything felt chaotic and unnecessarily stressful. There was no proper introduction, no welcoming atmosphere, and very little communication from the staff. Instead of feeling like valued guests enjoying a special Hawaiian evening, we felt like we were being pushed from one place to another without explanation. The food was acceptable, but certainly not enough to compensate for the disappointing entertainment, poor organization, and uncomfortable atmosphere. I have visited Hawaii before and remember the beauty, elegance, warmth, and hospitality of its cultural performances. This experience was a tremendous disappointment compared with those memories. For approximately $320, the overall quality was completely unacceptable. The company needs to improve its organization, guest communication, crowd management, and entertainment standards. I left feeling that I had wasted both my money and my evening.

I booked a sunset cruise dinner for our honeymoon! The captain and the dancers were all very nice and friendly, and I had a great time! The captain took such wonderful photos of the sunset, night view, and Diamond Head that it will be the best memory of our honeymoon! Thank you! All the food at the buffet was delicious. The performance and show by the dancers were also wonderful!

It’s a really neat experience, great food and we had a wonderful time! The show was very neat as well.
