It sure was a hot day-but there were little shops outside with shade and cool refreshments: Dole Whip, shaved ice, and soft drinks-also snacks.

We throughly enjoyed our visit! Worth the heat and money! 10/10 recomm...

Very impressive ship with an equally impressive service history. The walk around tour was guided very well by a young gentleman that was very knowledgeable. Great experience to see the beginning and end of the war so close together. Shuttles service was efficient and very cool on the bus.
