I did not choose this cruise. My friend won the trip and asked me to join her. My husband and I have always cruised with Carnival or RC. I think I will have to change from now on to Norwegian. It was a delight. The free-style cruising allowed us to be flexible with our schedule which was a huge plus. Everything was made simple for us. The staff and service was exemplary. This was a cruise ...
This is my fifth cruise with Norwegian Cruise Lines and was my most disappointing cruise of the five.
Part of my disappointment comes my unwarranted expectations with Hawaii itself, and part of it comes from the poor weather but much of it is due to the Pride of America.
The Pride of America (PQA) is the oldest and smallest of ships that I have sailed on NCL and has fewer activities and ...
We love to cruise, to be fair we try to go on smaller sized cruise ships but thought this would be a good option to see the Hawaiian Islands. The entire trip feels like a weekly bus service. The service is very poor, there was only one staff member who actually appeared to care at all. The food works on quantity rather than quality. The activities are basically non existent. We had people ...
We are a middle-aged couple who has been on more than a dozen cruises in various parts of the world. This cruise rates as just okay. I wish Norwegian had more competition to inspire them to do better.
The check-in and boarding process took 45 minutes. We were not allowed in our room until about 3pm, and our luggage arrived just before we left for dinner. The oceanview room was decent, but ...
This was our first trip to Hawaii and we couldn't choose which islands to visit so we decided to start and finish the vacation with stays on different parts of Oahu (Spent a week on Waikiki Beach at the Hilton before the cruise and then a week at Disney Aulani after the cruise) and visit the other three islands on the cruise. This was our third cruise and we thought the ship was beautiful, clean ...
We Have Been On 15 Cruises Now And This Being Our First On NCL

Pride Of America Ship Is Ok But Showing Age Which We Expected
What We Did Not Expect Are The Following:
All food was average at best in both dining room and buffet.
After 15 Cruises This Ship Crew Did Not Provide Us At Least 1 Shrimp Cocktail
None Zip........I ...
This cruise was recommended by our AAA travel advisor. It was perfect for us and prior to boarding the ship we stayed in Honolulu for 2 days and we were able to have our excursion to Pearl Harbor and the Missouri which was definitely one of our highlights. Everything about this cruise went great, it was very organized both on embarkation and disembarkation as everything went very smoothly. Our ...
A group of 12 traveled together to see the Hawaiin islands. This particular cruise allowed us to enjoy time in Oahu before the cruise. The cruise took us to 4 other islands giving us the opportunity to see and explore these other beautiful islands. We certainly enjoyed our time on and off the ship. In oahu we did Pearl Harbor tour-half day tour, Chiefs luau-a great and fun time! We did ...
This was our first trip to Hawaii, so we felt that cruising would allow us to get a sampling of all of the islands while avoiding moving from hotels and waiting at airports.
We really enjoyed the cruise! Our only other cruise was with Regent Seven Seas, so don't feel it is fair to "compare" with their 5-star services. But most aspects of the Pride of America were very enjoyable. The food ...
