We chose this cruise for its itinerary around the Hawaiian Islands, the island themselves were great - BUT - Very disappointing overall, we never knew who our steward was the whole cruise, fancy not meeting your steward - items weren't being replaced that had been used, including the bath mat. I was treated like a second class citizen because i wasn't drinking so wasn't tipping, I purchased ...

Hawaii - Awesome, Cruise - Disappointing

1. On embarkation day our rooms were not ready until about 4 PM. Yet we had been made to arrive at 11:00 using the pre-paid shuttle bus from our hotel. We had nowhere to put the items we carried with us (ipads, medicines) so we were VERY limited in what we could do for all those hours. We would have been much happier staying in Honolulu for the day and arriving at the ship much later on. We ...

We booked this trip as a mother-daughter getaway to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation. Was not initially intending to book a cruise, but when we heard about Norwegian's itinerary, this looked like the best way to see a little bit of each of the major islands - and the trip did not disappoint! We booked a package through a local travel agent, who was very helpful in answering our ...

A Floating Resort Not a Typical Cruise

I was a bit nervous about getting on this cruise after reading the scathing reviews on here. This was our 3rd cruise with NCL and frankly we went in hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. If you go in expecting this to be a typical cruise, you're going to have a bad time. Because it's an American Flagship and an older ship, you will not get the bells and whistles you may have come to ...

Here are my notes from my recent Hawaii Cruise on NCL’s Pride of America (POA) ship. Before I begin, I was traveling with 3 other adults and three children ages 4, 8, & 10, so our cruise was really for the kids and we decided to forgo the entertainment portion. Day 1, Honolulu, Oahu: Our documents said to meet at “cruise dock”. Should have more accurately said Pier 2 Cruise Terminal. We ...

Great Itinerary - Poor Service

This was a great way to see the Hawaiian Islands with a great itinerary but if you have cruised on other cruise lines you will likely be disappointed in the quality of the service and the quality of the food. While we experienced several very good staff members the quality of the service overall is well below what you would expect compared to many other cruise lines. Food quality was eatable but ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit all the islands. We arrived a few days before embarking so that we could explore Oahu. We enjoyed our time at North Shore and Waikiki Beach. We visited Hanauma Bay but never saw any fish. Embarkation went smoothly, everyone was friendly and attentive. The ship has been refurbished so that process made it look nicer. Our interior stateroom was very ...

I booked this cruise because it's the only way, on a ship, to go to so much of Hawaii. We booked it and then I did not read a review until a month out. I WAS NERVOUS. Man, almost every review was negative. I told my family....we are going to Hawaii, not going to be on the boat much. Just have fun and be open minded. This ship and its crew were awesome. Yes, the ship doesn't have slides, ...

Like many, I read many reviews before and after choosing to book this ship. As a result, I had some reservations that this would offer little more than a moving hotel for our tour of the Hawaiian islands. Therefore, I sent my family’s expectations accordingly. Wow, was I wrong! Having sailed on four previous cruises (with 4 different cruise lines - one of which was Norwegian), I have a ...

First off, the staff was great. Everyone I met was fantastic. That was the best thing going for Norwegian. However, the food was most disappointing. Food items such as the corn on the cob was chewy, fish / meats were over cooked, potatoes were dry & even deserts were unbearably sweet. I also didn't like that a lot of the places were a separate charge. I came on a cruise to not worry about ...
