I like the second one, but one thing to keep in mind is that this is Hawai'i - the weather is very nice all year round, and terracing the decks would improve outdoor space immensely, which then improves passenger comfort.
For the name. I used an old company name and it's colors....

It's a lot of deck space, I have just gone for solid railings over normal railings since it would cover a somewhat against wind, but mostly against sea spray.
But I can always remove the aft sky-lounge. or decrease the restaurant area on the top deck. not that area is very small. so there is a lot of space on the gang way on both side of the superstructure.
The Beam of that top floor restaurant is... Basically you have space for a table for six persons on both sides, and an gangway on the center line. there is also lift in both end of the restaurant, and one in front of the aft sky-lounge. those small box on the roofs (Like the one that have the satellite dish on it, is an the engine room for the lift.)
The lifeboats is 80 mans lifeboats (Norwegian design of course) 640 persons, rest have to go in rafts.
BTW. I am going to make an top view so it's more easy to see what is going on.
Oh the big ramp in the bow. is similar to the one on the other side. the ramp for the car deck is behind the big one.
Why I have gone for this design over other is that, her in Norway with our coastal liners there was some noise problems, something the found an solution by just place the entire engine room as far aft in the hull as possible to fit, so already there we have some comfort.
