I did it in 1997 (yeah, I'm old) when Continental still ran it. It was really interesting because all the little stops between Honolulu and Guam were so remote. A lot of WW2 history as well in the islands battles against Japan. And if you're a diver (I'm not) you're in paradise.

Very cool. Did you stay overnight anywhere along the way?
