Honolulu Gourmet Food Cruises Cruise Reviews

We, two couples, selected this cruise because of the itinerary, to see the islands. Also, we decided to go with the 3-day tour package in Honolulu up front. NCL was the only cruise line to offer that format, without sailing from the west coast. I read all the reviews in advance, so no surprises about the ship experience. I knew going in that staff shortages and cost cutting affected the ...

Best way To see all the islands. Booked a hotel in Waikiki for 3 days prior and saw that island . Once on Board , was pleased with both embarkation and disembarkation. Smooth smooth smooth. Main Dining was top notch and with a balcony room, free internet and two specialty dining options it was a great food experience. The whole sign the slip thing for a drink was a pain but it worked. Two ...

Based on the previous reviews, I was a little nervous about this cruise but I have to say that we had an awesome time! This was our 5th cruise with NCL, we have always had great experiences with them. This is an amazing itinerary and such a great way to see Hawaii. We brought our 2 teenage boys and my 72 year old dad. Embarkation was easy, probably took about 30 mins or so and once we got on the ...

Me and my husband came for the first time as passengers, we have been working on cruise ships for 5 years, so as a crew we know how ships have to be clean and how to work and be nice to passengers. This ship didn't hit our expectations at all. As soon we arrive on the ship, we were waiting for a room to be cleaned for 5 hours(wasn't a big deal, but still) then we went to eat in Aloha and ...

Prior to sailing on 1/28/23 I read every review going back to the Covid lockdown and based on most of them I was expecting to be disappointed. Everything on the ship was open with the exception of East Meets West dining and the Gelato ice cream bar and yes, because of this one is made to feel that they paid full price for something and received less. 95% of the staff was enthusiastic and eager to ...

Embarcation and Debarcation is very smooth. Staterooms were fine, stateroom host went above and beyond. Food was ok, some entrees in the MDR were better than others, servers in main dining room need to be trained more. Food in the Aloha cafe was sub par for the most part. We as passengers need to be more polite to each other. The buffet should not be considered as your last meal forever. ...

Have been on a number of cruises, this is the second time on Norwegian. My friend and I had Hawaii on our bucket list for awhile and planned to cruise and then spend some time on Oahu. The check in was a little slower than anticpated, and we didn't get all the maps and planners. Which was a challenge as the app is not great. We boarded the boat and enjoyed exploring the few areas that ...

We spent a few days before the cruise in Honolulu at a wedding. By the time we boarded the ship on Saturday, we were ready for some R&R! I had read previous reviews and was actually a little worried about what this cruise line would have to offer. Boarding the boat was easy and took not time at all. Our rooms were to be ready at 2:00 so we settled down to the BAR at the Wine Bar. They were ...

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 ...
