Well, after much anticipation and a little pre-cruise anxiety, I sailed on the Pride of Aloha. I have cruised several times in the past on various lines so I believe I can give a pretty good assessment of the ship.
Embark/debark--An absolute breeze. I recommend going to the ship around 3:00 and you won't even have to wait in a line. We were on in about 5 minutes.
Cabins: VERY SMALL!!! Of course, you spend very little time in the cabins, but you definitely need to be prepared for the small space. If you have more than two to a cabin, I recommend taking as little as possible as there are only 4 small drawers and 1 closet. The beds are like a rock. I recommend requesting an egg crate as soon as you board. Our cabin steward was excellent!! Cabins were very clean. Pillows are small.
