Sail Date: Jan 2013
Cabin: Balcony

We sailed from Honolulu on Pride of America January 12-19. The sailing experience and ports of call were fabulous. However, we were unable to open the sliding door to our balcony. There were no problems with the balcony door in our party's connecting room. We called maintenance, and they came twice. By the third day of our cruise, we could partially open the door, but it took the two of us to do so. Since we paid extra for the balcony stateroom, I thought this was unacceptable. There were also two drawers that could not be opened until Maintenance repaired the glides.

The food was just okay, but pretty standard fare for today's cruises. However, the fillets in the Lazy J Texas Steakhouse lacked flavor and were chewy. Since the cover charge was $25 each, this was disappointing. The food in the Italian Restaurant was very good.

The service was not as good as we've experienced on prior cruises, but I attribute that to the policy of automatically charging gratuities to your stateroom rather than your server trying to please you.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Cabin BC

The cabin was well laid out, with enough storage space for two women using twin beds. I love having a balcony on cruises to view arriving or leaving ports or just watching and listening to the sea. Cabin #8584 was amazingly quiet, and the sailing was so smooth we sometimes wondered if we were moving. I just wish they made sure the doors and drawers opened properly before we set sail.
