I’m glad I chose this tour. The food was good. The entertainment was lively. We got to see a different view of the island and took nice sunset photos

Phillip was an awesome host. Friendly and always smiling. Thank you Phillip!!! The ship was clean with plenty of room. Thanks crew!!

What a great time!! Food, service and the view was outstanding!! Staff did fantastic job, was on top of service and so nice.

We loved this cruise! The food was decent — but the highlights were the spectacular views of Honolulu, the sunset & Diamond Head, the show, & the friendly staff! “Cousin Phillip” was so personable and friendly! He took great care of us! And the entertainment was a perfect accompaniment to the already great cruise!

This review is for the New Year Fireworks Cruise. My wife and I purchased the 3rd deck steak and lobster cruise. We even paid extra for a private table to make sure we had a view for the fireworks show at midnight. Originally they had us seated in the back corner with no view of the stage. My guess is because we paid the discounted kamaaina price which really shouldn’t matter imo. We asked to move which worked out for us because someone left a GoPro on a tripod recording next to our heads. Deck was crammed with tables which were no bigger than a night stand. SLOW service. Again, probably because of the cramming. Right before midnight, people gathered right behind us obstructing our view of the fireworks. So no, we can’t recommend the extra cost of the private night stand, I mean “table”. One of the other passengers, while trying to get an unrecognizable zoomed out video of Waikiki, knocked over and shattered a glass of champagne all over our table and on my pants then ran off as though this was normal where they’re from. The staff did clean up the shards of glass but didn’t do anything about the champagne soaked table cloth. They offered to give us a complimentary bottle of champagne and we said sure. They ended up settling for an opened bottle that another table ended up not drinking. Great start to 2025!

What a fun night we had! New Year's Eve cruise, with transportation, dinner, a show and fireworks off the coast of Honolulu. We felt spoilt by the staff. Admittedly my lobster was overcooked but it didn't matter. The chefs would of been under pressure with so many patrons to cater for. When the fireworks began, we all tried to find a viewing space. There was additional space upstairs, if you find you're unable to see on your allocated deck. Everyone was smiling and happy. We were entertained and had an opportunity to meet the performers. Thanks to everyone at STAR OF HONOLULU for a memorable evening to welcome in the New Year ✨️

We went to that event twice, when our kid was a toddler and then when she become a teenager. We liked it a lot both times. The services, the food and beverages as well as dinner dance show were all good. It was fun to dance with a lot of people. The sunset views were fantastic.

I never write bad reviews but... *sigh*... this dinner cruise was honestly one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I really can't fathom how this is even considered a business and borders on suspicious activity. I want to be very clear that none of this is directed to any one individual or worker. So many elements were just bad. The whole experience felt very cheap, outdated, and, frankly, gross. To begin, the infrastructure and furniture looked to have been built in the 70s, with zero updates (including the carpet and silverware). The room, immediately upon arrival, had a strong and apparent smell of body odor (regardless of the giant windows being open). Second, the food was borderline inedible. I am genuinely curious as to when the last time the health inspector was there and if this is actually up to code (and if so... what code?). It's just so far off of any service I have ever had in my life. The "Sweet Butter Breadsticks" served as an appetizer are literally hot dog buns from any grocery store. The "Imported & Domestic Cheeses", crackers, and fruit was self serve which felt unsanitary. Not to mention, they were, also, straight from the grocery store. The lobster smelled and looked to be straight out of PetSmart (which then added a fish food smell to the already potent scent of BO). The tenderloin was blue and, at that point, we didn't even try dessert. I normally don't care about the alcohol content of my drink but I know many of you do so, there was absolutely no alcohol in either of my two drinks. Lastly, I am going to generalize but, the staff and crew of the whole boat was hard to buy into. I surmise they are very young, inexperienced, and underpaid. I can't articulate exactly what was off but, it just felt sketchy. I don't know who they're paying to write these reviews but, the stark contrast of our expectations vs. this reality was jarring.

It was great. And the show was fun. We had a great time and loved the food. We were well fed and entertained and loved the views.

The views were so wonderful and the staff was very welcoming and pleasant. However, would have enjoyed more if dancers were Hawaiian and it was more authentic. We saw a luau the night before so it made these performances seem lackluster. Sorry. I loved the Luau! I was not too fond of the food either. Steak was cooked good and food presentation nice but sauces made it hard to enjoy. This was my least favorite attraction of the many we had in Hawaii.

This was the most entertaining and fun experience, very friendly staff and the food was delicious, would do it again , saw the top floor accommodation and will definitely book that dinner next time

We had a great time for my birthday!!!! We are local so will definitely bring our island visitors for the wonderful experience

Very awesome experience. Beautiful sunset, great dinner and entertainment. Must do on your list while your Honolulu.
