We went two years ago. Here's a blurb I have saved regarding the Maui Sunset luau (Drums of Makena) at the Maui Prince:

"We attended this luau last November with friends. Both couples were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversaries........

We really enjoyed it. We paid in advance for "premire seating". It cost an extra $8 pp, but was worth it. For the extra $$, we were escorted around the long line of people wating to get in and seated at our table front and center of the stage. We were also the first to go throught the buffet line.

The food was very good. Not great, but very good with lots of variety. We enjoyed the kalua (sp?) pork and the lomi lomi salmon the most. The deserts were FANTASTIC. A HUGE variety and very tasty. I'm a low carb eater, but I just couldn't resist tasting at least a few (well, okay, quite a few!!).

The show was very entertaining. The host was a crack-up. The girls were very beautiful and poised and the guys were awesome. This is not a traditional Hawaiian luau, but one that tells the story of the different cultures of the islands. There is a fire knife show at the end as well. At different points during the show, people are invited on stage to learn the hula and to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. My wife and I danced to the Hawaiian Wedding Song on stage along with our friends. Very special moment for us!! My best friend's wife was asked on to the stage by one of the male performers for the grand finale. It was priceless!

If there was one disappointment it was the open bar. The drinks were very weak and the bar closed at 7:30 pm, for liability reasons I would guess. Fortunately, I found a bartender symapthetic to my needs and he "spiced up" my drinks for me."

This past October we attended the Royal Lahaina Luau and over all, I think it was better.
