"Disembarkation
We didn’t want to pack up everything the night before and search for our luggage the next day so we chose to carry our luggage off the ship with us.We waited until last call to get off the ship so of course we encountered a wait at the elevators and a line at the exit but it moved fairly quickly...."Read More

1-10 of 2,368 Norwegian Pride of America Cruises for the Disabled Reviews
Summary: FANTASTIC cruise and I would do this itinerary again in a heartbeat, but don't expect this to be a relaxing vacation.
About our group: 4 females celebrating a 50th birthday for one of us.
After reading some reviews, my expectations for the ship itself were low but I was pleasantly surprised to find it in really good shape- carpets don't appear worn, toilets all flushed fine (not ...
Okay, we finished our cruise a couple of weeks ago, but I promised myself I would write one up after reading all of the others, especially the negative ones. My wife and I are not experienced cruisers, with the last one being approx 25 years ago. But, one of our sons is stationed on Oahu, so we figured that after seeing the grandkids for a week, a cruise would be a great way to experience the rest ...
I have been on 14 cruises (4 Disney, 4 NCL, 3 Carnival, 2 Tradewinds catamarans, and 1 Costa). I am most disappointed with NCL. The service has gotten worse. I do like the NCL’s ports I’ve sailed (Bermuda, Mexican Pacific, Western Caribbean and Hawaii) but I would have had a better experience visiting those ports with another cruise line, or even sticking to resorts and getting a rental car.
As ...
I chose this cruise because I wanted to see all of Hawaii- never been and i am in my sixties. Chose this for the fact you see so much of the Islands. I have previously only done a Mississippi River Cruise (American) and Mediterranian (Celebrity), both of which I thought were awesome- with minor quibbles.
The Good stuff- The "Hawaiian Ambassador"- Anela St Thomas - is GREAT. Always available ...
Pride of America is an anomaly in the NCL fleet - it does not vary from its four-island Hawaii itinerary - no sea days - never leaving American waters - no casino (as per law). I was relieved to discover that its design was not all colonial / monument style - that is limited to the main lobby and a few restaurants. The other public areas are themed around the rest of America: Napa CA (wine bar), ...
We chose this cruise to see the variety of beauty available in the different Hawaiian Islands. The islands are beautiful and cruising is a great way to get to each one saving time and hassle by not dealing with airports so our main objective was accomplished.
I have sailed on Norwegian Cruises before so I had some expectations of what I would be getting for my money. However, some advice I ...
Of all the many cruises we’ve enjoyed on ships large and small, this was by far the worst. Although the ship itself is elegant, good management was sorely lacking. We were told that the ship is always short-staffed because their people can (and do) leave without fulfilling their contracts. Well, I think incentives and bonuses might help. Keep your people happy so your customers will be treated ...
I'm an experienced cruiser who has cruised on small and large ships all over the world for the past 15 years. I chose this inter island cruise in Hawaii based on the location for my 40th birthday without the hassle "sea days" taking another cruise line across the Pacific Ocean from either California or Canada to visit Hawaii and all the islands. The perk of the ship is that is its very clean and ...
We were pleasantly surprised by this cruise, based on previous reviews. The ship was clean and the service was very good. The food was adequate, you can usually find something to eat. Our cabin steward was excellent. The evening shows were not that great but there was always Music in the Lounge.
We only did one tour from NCL and we would NOT recommend it. It was the hike to a waterfalls ...
Cruise Period Feb 3 - Feb 10, 2024
Embarked on Sat Afternoon Feb 3.
At 5pm the Ship's Cruise Director (AKA A LO HA ANNE) announced the Ship would remain in Honolulu overnight because of a part needed for repair. In realty the seas were ugly with 15' - 20' seas. The decision to stay in port was correct. But, WHY hide behind the Maintenance excuse?
Then decision was made to ...
