This was my first cruise and I couldn't imagine it going any better. The check in was made easy by a staff who knew what they were doing and from the moment we stepped on the pier we were welcomed many times. The 1st night welcome show introduced us to the crew and told that they were there to ensure that we had a good time. They did everything they could to see that it happened. The food was great whether we dined in the Aloha room at the buffet or the specialty restaurants that we tried, and all of the staff had ready smiles and warm "Alohas" for us throughout the cruise.

The comedian on board, Michale Somerville, was hilarious. Charles Bach, the performing magician, amazed me with his show and we truly enjoyed "Oh What A Night", the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tribute band. ANy future cruises I go on will have a tough time matching my experience on the Pride Of America. Malu, the Cruise Director, and her staff had a big hand in that. All of the ships amenities with a backdrop of the Hawaiian Isles made this journey a trip for all to take
