Traveled with children

I had done my share of research before setting sail on the Pride of America and had chalked up the bad reviews of the food, etc. to upscale people. However, being an average person from the Midwest (from a town of less then 500 people) I find myself agreeing with the less then favorable reviews. This was our first cruise, and I think I can honestly say our only expectations were cleaning services we receive when we stay at "local" hotel services (Holiday Inn, American, etc) and services we receive at local restaurants (Applebee's, Whiskey Creek, Pizza Hut, etc).

We flew non-stop from Denver to Honolulu on United the day before we set sail. I had not flown in the last 10 years and would highly recommend upgrading to the extra legroom if not to first class. Very uncomfortable. We stayed at the Hilton and did not have any trouble boarding the ship. We had a Family Suite (7178) with an adjoining room with my in-laws (I didn't want the kids running back in forth in the hallway and for babysitting purposes if we wanted to go out). This was located at the back of the ship on the end so we had a very large deck area. The room was okay space wise but not the spacious layout with two bathrooms that the brochure advertised.
