Quotes from passengers of the M.S. Pride of Hawaii, as written on www.cruisecritic.com:
I too was on the
11-27 Cruise. What a
positive experience!
The ship is
beautiful, the crew
is excellent-
friendly and aiming
to please. I found
NONE of the problems
that others have
mentioned on these
boards. The food and
service in the
restaurants was
great- even the
buffet! The cabin
attendant was most
accommodating and my
cabin was CLEAN
everyday. I did not
take in any of the
shows in the
Stardust, but went
each evening to
listen to the Butch
O'Sullivan Duo in
the Aloha Atrium-
they are fabulous! I
only went on one
tour- the day we
disembarked- "The
Highlights of O`ahu".
If you have the
time- do take this
tour. It shows you a
little more of the
island and it's
beautiful!

The following is the quote from;
Kupuna
Cool Cruiser
"For the main production shows there are 2 shows per night ; 7:30 and 9:30 PM , if I remember correctly . Yes , there are also comics , etc . but we did not make it to these . Actually , our favorite past time was to listen to the wonderful duo in the Atrium at various times ( Butch O'Sullivan ). There are lots of activities , ranging from Hula to sports to deck games , etc ."
Quotes from passengers of the M.S. Norwegian Wind, as written on www.cruisecritic.com:
The Music -- Think oldies and easy listening. Butch
O'Sullivan does
pretty Hawaiian Songs and other gentle melodies. He serenaded us twice at The Terraces. Patti and Jose are in the observatory doing hits from the
'50s-'80s. There is an Asian band playing easy, dance music and a piano man playing more easy listening. Everyone was good, and if you hate hard rock, metal, blues, heavy bass, screaming leads, drums, punk, alternative rock, garage bands, and any song written after about 1985, the music on the ship is for you. So even though there were a number of good entertainers, there wasn't a lot of variety in their sound and repertoire. (Sorry, one of my only criticisms).
- From COOPER&LOUISE, October 2005
My daughter and I recently were on the Norwegian Wind, (9-24-05), for an 11 day cruise. I have been on the Norwegian Star (December ’01 and April ’03), also cruised on the Pride of Aloha (December ’04), so am not new to cruising Hawaii. Of the NCL ships that I have been on, the Wind is a new favorite. I like the smaller size of the ship and it certainly has the best food that I have ever had on a cruise ship. The crew is friendly and efficient. Our cabin attendants Errol and Szilvia were the greatest. The meal service in the Four Seasons restaurant was the best.
While we were into relaxing aboard, more than being active (we saved that for the time we spent on the islands), there wasn’t a lack of things to do, if you wanted to keep busy.
Entertainment on the ship was fantastic. There was a group in Lucky’s and a duo in the Observation Lounge, that both played music for dancing. Butch O’Sullivan strolled the tables in the dining rooms some evenings, playing and singing requests. He played in the Coffee Bar and Lucky’s Lounge some nights, also played on the Pool deck on sea days, in the afternoon. We never missed taking advantage of listening to his beautiful 3 octave voice.
We did no tours on the islands, but just went wherever we decided to go that day. Having been to the islands several times before, we knew what we wanted to do, on each island.
I truly believe this was the best cruise I have taken—and my daughter agrees.

Quotes from passengers of the M.S. Norwegian Star
"Entertainment (production shows, Butch O'Sullivan, R. Carr) is the best we have seen on any cruiseline. Food in specialty restaurants is excellent. Food in buffet is borderline terrible. Interior decorating is gawdy."
- From Larry & Charla in Kansas
"Very pleasureable cruise ... except for the rough waters. Really enjoyed Butch O'Sullivan's music and congeniality."
- mbonny@aol.com
"Variety Soloist, Butch O'Sullivan, singing in the Grand Atrium was the highlight of this cruise."

"The singer Butch O'Sullivan, in the Atrium, was a highlight on both of my cruises on the Norwegian Star."
- joanchesley@aol.com
"GREAT CRUISE AND SHIP. HAWAIIAN ENTERTAINER- BUTCH NIAUHOE KEKAULIKE OSULLIVAN IS SUPERB!"
- azladydi@earthlink.net
"The only Hawaiian touch was Butch Niauhoe Kekaulike O'Sullivan, a superb entertainer who was relegated to the least accessible venues."
