Our cruise on the Pride of America was our 21st cruise so I can consider us experts. We have cruised all over the world but never been to Hawaii. We couldn't have had a better experience! In fact, we are considering next summer's new ship, The Pride of Hawaii. \I have read all the other reviews here and we seem to have had a much better experience.
* Our bags were waiting in our cabin when we arrived. Henry, our steward, was exceptional and anticipated our every need.
* We usually ate dinner about 7:30 and had leisurely experiences, but not excessively long waits. The food was what I would expect from a ship carrying 2,000 passengers. We ordered simple dishes and were never disappointed. One evening I asked for coffee ice cream and although they didn't have it on the menu they went to another dining room to get it.
