My husband & I had the best vacation ever in Hawaii on the Pride of America. The staff and crew were very attentive and their number one goal was to make sure we were happy and satisfied. As we sat relaxing on our balcony one afternoon, my husband turned and said "This is the most relaxing vacation we have ever had." The excursions were great, the ship was great. There were many things to do is you were inclined or sitting by the pool or on deck relaxing in the sun or shade having a beverage offered to you, was just so relaxing.
We signed up for the pre-cruise package for 3 days and stayed at the Waikiki Marriott. The tours we went on were well organized and we were able to see and experience things in three days that would have taken us 5 -7 days if we had done it on our own. The tour guide was informative, friendly, and funny. He made us feel like we were part of his "ohana" family.
People ask what was our most favorite part or island. We have to say the entire trip from start to finish was our favorite. Everything just exceeded my expectations.
Our cabin was perfect. Our cabin steward, Paul, was very nice, always checking to see if everything met our standards when we would see him in the hall. Very accomodating when we needed fresh pool towels etc.
