Honolulu Fitness Cruises Cruise Reviews

We really enjoy the relaxation a cruise provides and were looking forward to sailing on the Pride Of America around the Hawaiian Islands leaving Honolulu Jan 7th 2013 returning Jan 14th 2013 . We love Hawaii and have been there many times and visited all Islands, so thought why not see the islands from a Cruise ship. However:If you want to spend the day watching the Hawaii Islands drift by ...

I would post a review under their review page, but I feel like that is a space for people who need to create an account and vent about issues they have. I used these boards and asked many questions with this community prior to going on my PoA cruise, so thought I'd give a summary here and allow anyone who had any follow-up questions to post those and I would respond as best I could since I did a ...

If it weren't for Hawaii, cruise would have seriously bombed. Hawaii fixes a lot. We are frequent cruisers and this was a let down, even though we paid more than any other cruise we have taken. Ship used half staff and claimed half passengers. So half the ship is always closed. Most specialty restaurants closed. Staff can't keep up with basic services and are grumpy. They pass the buck and ...

I had a Norwegian cruise credit that needed to be used. After 3 cancelations we were finally able to board. I understand the first cancelation, everyone did. The other two were management issues, booking a ship and knowing there was not hired help. No help from Norwegian on the last two. Lets start with the Cruise. Embarkation, we show up early because we were in Hawaii. The process was fine - ...

This is our second cruise with NCL because the first one pre-pandemic was great. WOW were we in for a shock! The food was cold and tasteless. Some of the supposedly free specialty dining was closed the entire time. No reservations available for the ones that were open, even though we did it a month in advance of the cruise. There was only one sit down dining room that was open and only for dinner ...

I have been on 7 NCl cruise and even sailed on the Pride Of America 5 years ago with my wife. We selected this cruise again because this time we wanted to bring our two adult Special needs children with us so they could see the beauty of Hawaii. This is the only ship that does a full week in Hawaii. We were very disappointed over all. We booked two a joining rooms as there were 5 of us ...

We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit Hawaii only and the itinerary just went to the Hawaian islands and spent 2 days on each island. We thought this would be the best way to explore Hawaii and what it has to offer. The boat is US registered and requires 70% of the staff to be American. The ships was 80% capacity, but there was a shortage of staff. Here are the reasons this was the ...

It is so hard to give a very good review for out sailing on Nov.12-19. I don't know where to start. People tried to do there best. This was out 13th cruise, and 3rd with NCL. Originally, we were sail in August, but because of staff shortage we were required to rebook. We received our full deposit back and were future cruise credit in the form of the cost of our inside room. Of course the cost ...

I read the reviews about staffing and alcohol availability and we went on this cruise with the attitude we will see for myself. Afterall it was only 4 or 5 negative reviews total. My husband and I have cruised 8 times on a variety of cruise lines. I will tell you we left this cruise with a positive experience. Were they staffed in full? no; but Norwegian explained this with a letter. Did we ...

NCL has cornered the market as the only cruise line that can embark from Oahu and stop at the other Hawaiian Islands. My family and extended family recently cruised on the Pride of America in mid October 2022 and were very disappointed. The ship while clean was old and dated. This ship is extremely rocky. I have never been seasick on a cruise before, until this ship. It had very limited shopping ...
