The Prince Waikiki scores 26 for the morning and Four Diamond for the room — two different measures, not a contradiction. AAA lists it Four Diamond for 2026, every room has an ocean view, and there's an oceanfront infinity pool, with 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar and Katsumidori Sushi Tokyo downstairs.
It's also the nearest Waikiki hotel to the ship after Aqua Palms, about 2.4 miles from Pier 2 by road on our estimate. Thirteenth on 26 comes down to breakfast, which isn't stated, and the alphabet: the Ilikai prints the same $45 parking and comes first.
The resort charge is $45 a night, plus tax, and it doesn't cover parking — self-park is another $45 plus tax, with a 6 ft 1 in height limit. Only service dogs are allowed.
Watch the sunset from the pool, and price the night with both $45 charges before you call it a bargain.
