I must say that I was a bit unsure of this cruise after I read some of the reviews, but those reviews were WRONG. The Pride of America is a wonderful ship, not only is she beautiful, but the staff was awesome. Not one person was rude; just the opposite -- so happy to help in any way.

We tried to do everything we could, not a single moment was boring. We arrived in Honolulu on Wednesday, April 14 and spent 3 nights at the Courtyard by Marriott. Again, some people reviewed that hotel unfavorably, and I can't understand why. The rooms were clean, comfortable and convenient. They were also economical as far as Waikiki prices are concerned. And their "chill out" room felt so good after a day of sightseeing. Massage chairs were so relaxing -- and free to use.

The embarkation process on the Pride of America couldn't have been any easier. We arrived at the pier about 11:30 and by 12:00 we were on board enjoying a fantastic buffet at the Aloha Cafe. Plenty of food and great selection. If you can't find anything to your liking on this buffet, then you are way too hard to please! At about 2:00 our cabin was ready and off we went to settle in. The cabins are not as large as some on other cruise ships, but they are adequate and have plenty of storage - large closet with bins and shelves; drawers in the cabin, and even a medicine cabinet in the bathroom. Again, if you can't fit all your belongings in this space, you have brought too much.

Cabin Review

Cabin 1932 -- great cabin. Deck 9 -- away from the public spaces so it was quiet and peaceful. Starboard side, so the views were always good no matter where we were. Amble space to store everything.
