I chose this cruise because it was a last minute decision and the only one going to Hawaii on the date that I needed. I will NEVER AGAIN sail with Norwegian. Many of the staff members are not only not very friendly, but downright rude — they argue back with their passengers. I encountered this not only myself but was witness to others, too.
The elevators were another issue. There are thousands ...
We had the hotel stay the night before at the Marriott Waikiki. Everything was well organized. The bus picked us up at 10:45 and we were on the boat by noon. We had lunch in the Aloha Café. It wasn’t crazy crowded and we had no problem finding a seat for 5 of us. We did have to wait until about 3:30 for our room to be ready. They announced as each floor was ready. Ours was almost last; the first ...
We chose Norwegian mainly because it was the only major cruise line at our price point that went to Hawaii in the summer (at least that we knew of). We tacked this trip to the back of a week trip in Oahu with my family, so our timing was limited. Overall, our experience was positive and we absolutely loved exploring the islands and doing the ship arranged excursions (rappelling, ziplining, ...
Decided in August 2017 to retire and then looked for the best way to see Hawaii for retirement vacation trip. NCL's Pride of America is the only game in town. Yes it has some highs and lows but overall our experience was very good. I will try to explain those highs and lows. Our trip was July 2018.
Lows - First day on Ship was pretty much a waste of a day. We stayed at the Aston Waikiki ...
This was the only cruise I could find for the Hawaiian islands. In general the cruise was alright, but nothing exceptional.
Bathrooms were small. Shower stall had curtains, no door.
Food was ok.
However, the service on the ship was very good.
My main gripe was the "lunches" that were served by the tours for shore excursions. NCL said that lunches were provided on certain excursions. ...
I've always wanted to see Hawaii but when I got there I didn't realize it was going to cost me so much money. I went with family and friends overall it was 23 of us. I purchase a suite that stated could hold six people but the room was not as big as I thought it would be did not worth my $10,000 that I spent for the cabin. The dinner Services was very very slow and the food did not have any taste ...
We chose this cruise as we thought it would be a good way to see Hawaii at an affordable price. We arrived the night before the cruise and stayed at the Marriott, which was included in our cruise and was excellent. The check-in at the hotel was seamless and the rooms were great. The shuttle to the port was hassle free. The check-in at the port was smooth and we thought we were off to a great ...
I chose this cruise to visually see the fountaining lava flows in the Hawaii Volcano National Park as well as to experience the sheer and extensive cliffs of the Na Pali Coast on the island of Kauai. Also, I wanted to look at the island of Maui and the beauty of Haleakala from the ocean. To experience the Hawaiian Islands from the ocean instead of being land is the primary reason why I chose ...
We had a wonderful time on this cruise.
A great way to see the Hawaiin islands.
We had a balcony room. Although rooms were small, storage space was well organized.King bed and pull out couch.
Room steward was excellent. very quiet.
The food was good, service exceptional. All drinks at all bars were spot on.
Entertainment was good.
Open dinning was lovely, never felt rushed to get ...
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 ...
