Let me just start by saying we absolutely loved our time on the Pride of Aloha. I think it is a fantastic way to get a little bit of each island in during a short time. I have been researching our trip for about 7 months and was worried after reading the up and down reviews on this board. I do understand some of the complaints that I have read after experiencing them firsthand. Let me start off with my own review and I'll mention where I thought NCL could have been better.

The flight: It was long!! We flew out of Philadelphia, and into San Fran, then in Honolulu. Of course there is nothing NCL can do about that, you just have to suck it up and get there. I had no problems with our flight. The first flight we were seated ABC, the second were GHJ, my mother and I sat in the two by the window, and my stepdad was across the aisle in the row of 5, no biggie. The flight home we were all seated together the whole time, no window to LAX, but window to PHILA.

Arrival: We arrived in Honolulu and were greeted with a representative from the Marriott, we purchased the Pre cruise package which included transfer and 1 night at the Marriott. The Marriott in Waikiki was fantastic. Service was top notch, and the room was beautiful, we even had a balcony, which we were not expecting. Our luggage was taken care much faster then we expected. They were very very organized. I did expect to get the traditional Lei right off the plane, but we did not get that until we reached the hotel.
