Booked this cruise and justified the high cost with the idea I was going on a exceptional Hawaii cruise vacation. Unfortunately that assumption was wrong. Having sailed on 3 other cruise lines this one is the worst I've been on. Cabins are the smallest, food is so so, entertainment ok and very limited on board activities. Worse staff and overpriced excursions. Drinks run $10-$15 for basic beer, ...
We wanted to see Hawaii. We did not want to spend a number of days at sea which would be required if we took any other ship as they all came from the west coast. We g=had a suite and it was a very nice cabin. Our "Butler" Georgia was wonderful. All our gratuities were supposed to be included but when we were ready to leave the ship, we found out that our Butler and Concierge were not covered by ...
We’re not a Cruise Couple (only once previously) and this is not a comparison of Cruise Lines. This is an attempt to present our experience on a Cruise of the Hawaiian Islands to help you plan for this vacation option.
With a visit to the Hawaiian Islands as one of our Bucket List items, the question was how to see as much as we could in a short period of time. We settled on flying to Honolulu, ...
This cruise was elected by my sister who was celebrating her 50th wedding anniversary. The embarkation went smoothly compared to disembarkation. I did not like having to disembark so early since our flight was not leaving to later in the day. I would recommend arriving a day early to the departure city and leaving a day later in the departure city. The cruise director and his staff made this ...
We chose this cruise because it enabled us to see all of the four major Hawaiian Islands, with 2 days at each of the visited 3 islands, Maui, Hawaii and Kauai. The best and cheapest way to see these islands is to rent a car, with the exception of Kauai, which is only 30% accessible by land. We have been on approximately 10+ cruises in the past, most of them on Royal Caribbean. My wife and I are in ...
We were celebrating our 47th year Wedding Anniversary & my (Three scores + 10) . This was our first cruise we didn't know what to expect, our Hotel accommodations was very nice. I was very surprise of how humongous the ship was. I have never seen anything so large. We attend one show, which we enjoyed. The service was superb in the restaurants and the food was excellent. Port and shore ...
We chose this cruise in order to see as many islands in Hawaii as we could in a weeks time. I wanted to write this review as many of the reviews that we read prior to the trip were unfavorable and primarily in relation to the staff aboard the Pride. We are seasoned cruisers and the staff were wonderful
From the time we boarded the staff was welcoming and helpful. We booked a suite 12500 which ...
Wanted to post this on NCL review, but their website glitches on the page with comments.
I've traveled on ships like the Queen Mary (Cunard Line) - and NLC was comparable. 99% of the staff was well trained, well-mannered and things went very smooth.
Loved feeling pampered as a Priority traveler. Our stateroom was amazing, well-appointed and Larry, the Steward was incredible. (Would have been ...
Going with friends and family to celebrate birthdays.Heard a lot about Hawaii and wanted to visit. It was a good experience travelling with Pride of America as it was my first time on the Norwegian Cruise Lines. I didn't like being on the fourth deck - tried to change it but when you book with third party, it is a big problem. The washroom was small. Overall experience was very good. Friendly ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to do Hawaii and see all islands without flying to each island and losing time. Loved the entertainment and especially the shore excursions we experienced. We got to see which islands we’d like to visit again! Food onboard average had better on other cruise lines but we were there to visit islands not for food. The only negative I would say is that they ...
