Navatec


We went on a dinner cruise boat. The price was would have orinally been $100 plus but we ended up with the local discount. We were with other people who weren't from here so i don't think they got the kamaaina rate.

We went through the line and were told to "stand for the pictures." Boarded the boat and sat on the upper deck by the window, which cost $10 more per person. Our first course started out ok and was fast. Inbetween the meal someone came around and gave us the pictures we took, which we thought were for free, but were in reality $20.00 bucks each. We ate the lobster (which was good) and the steak (which was ok) and watched the show. The girls worked hard at entertaining the passengers.

Then our dinnermate was told he was a bad passenger and to go into the back. Apparently 10 minutes later he reappeared wearing a ridiculous outfit. But he was very cool looking as you can see. Then 10 minutes after he sat back down, another person came by and asked him if he wanted to buy a picture for, you guessed it - $20.00.

The funny part was that while I was taking pictures of him in the show, some guy rudely pushed my shoulder to get by me. Wanna guess who it was? The photographer who was taking the professional shots of the guys in the hula show.

So, while I rate the boat cruise as entertaining, there was far too much money being pushed for, and not in a very nice way. It was hustle and bustle all the way. I definetly thnk they should have offered more free drinks.
