Andrea, we have the same concerns about the food - we plan to avoid that Aloha Cafe and the Cadillac Diner. We'll probably eat at the specialty restaurants most of the week, and do our usual room service for breakfast each day. We are just NOT buffet people at all.

As far as what to do on the islands, I think we'll play it by ear. Our last couple of cruises, we had everything planned to a "T" before we left, and this time we just want to figure it out as we go along. My husband wants to experience an authentic luau one night, so perhaps we'll end up at the Feast at Lele.

Your cruise is just around the corner, isn't it? What week in Sept. are you going?
