I was recently in Maui staying near Lahaina on the West coast of the island. (It was my first trip to Hawaii and was great by the way).
Moored off-shore during my stay were quite a few cruise ships. I wasn’t able to get a good video of them, but here is the Golden Princess anyways (note I couldn’t actually find any pics of it in Lahaina itself so these are from all over).

The Golden Princess is one of the Grand Class of ships for Princess cruiselines. It entered service in 2001 and was Christened by Dr. Quinn herself, Jane Seymour.
It mostly operates on the Mexican Riviera and the West coast of the US and Canada. This particular trip that I saw was from Los Angeles to Hawaii.
At 109,000 gross tonnes and 951 feet in length, its a pretty large ship. It holds 2,600 passengers and 1,100 crew. It has 17 decks.
The Golden Princess has 3 pools, both indoor and outdoor. One good feature, both for teens and non-teens is that there is a teen-only sun deck.
