We had been to the old Luau show twice and thought it was much better. When we went to the New Spirit of Aloha this last Nov. we were less than impressed. The food we thought was fine but the show was just not very good(very weak story line). We decided not to go back. There was an active thread on this a few weeks back and if memory serves me right there were many who were disappointed in it but several who thought it was OK to great. If you have never been, I would give it a shot...smjj
