Sail Date: May 2014

This was the perfect trip to celebrate my birthday, and our 25th wedding anniversary. Since this was our 20th cruise, we have a lot of cruise ships to compare the Pride of America to! I recently published a book “20 Cruise Tips From a Platinum Cruiser, The Cruise Contessa”. My tip about this cruise is take it and have fun Hawaiian style!

I recommend arriving at least a day early before the cruise. We stayed near the beach, had dinner at Duke’s and went to Germaine’s luau. I like to go to the ship early, so we arrived at 11:15, and the check-in was quick and effortless. The Cruise Director, Malu, and the Hotel Director Kaj, greeted the passengers. We went to the Excursion Desk, no one was in line, and we selected 3 excursions.

The pool area was open, and we enjoyed the buffet, drinks and music.

Cabin Review

Our room was open around 1:00, which was a nice surprise. In comparison to other cruises we’ve been on, the cabin space was adequate, but the drawer and closet space was a bit sparse; the luggage fit nicely under the bed. There were no trial samples of toothpaste, razors, or anything else offered in the bathroom, as we were accustomed to getting on other ships. If you cruise on this ship, be sure to bring everything with you! Fortunately, I am prepared.
