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 ...
We were very disappointed in serveral areas while on the ship.
1. The entertainment in the Hollywood theartre, with the exception of the magician and the Hawaiian opening, was not good. The comedian was very disappointing and vulgar.
2. The chairs in the Hollywood theatre were worn out and very uncomfortable. You slid off them as you were watching the performance.
3. Cost of ...
We chose Pride of America to have the option to see all the islands in Hawaii and not just one during vacation. Overall, I would rate the cruise as average. There were tons of updates needed aboard the ship, such as the pool and deck area. Most things were rusted out and not a good site. I have cruised on other ships with celebrity and royal and those ships seemed updated and refreshing. What I ...
This cruise was selected to see different Hawaiian islands besides Oahu. I would give it a 3.5, but no option. The entertainment and food service were much better on two previous NCL cruises we took to Alaska and the Carribean. It seemed like the staff was all new and not as experienced and professional. We rented a car in each port except Kona; where two of our group had an excursion ...
FIRST ADVICE: It says 7 day cruise, and you get Free airfare. My advice book your own. On the last day of the cruise you arrive back to Honolulu and you must depart ship by 9 am . but you booked flight does not take off until 10 pm. so what do you do all day with your luggage. Some people rented cars , some people lugged their luggage around with them. We chose to take one of the final day ...
We chose Pride of America because we have sailed N.C.L and always had a great experience, full of laughs , great food, and entertainment. This was a bucket list trip.
Check in was great. Well organized quick and easy. Staff were great. We found our stateroom to be clean and the bed was wonderful. We purchased the bar and gratuity package, Well worth the money.
Unfortunately the meals did not ...
The main draw for booking this cruise was the itinerary which cruised one way from Honolulu to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia over our 20th anniversary. Having sailed twice on Celebrity since cruising restarted it is the cruise line my husband and I are most familiar with at this time. Everything went as planned with no problems or disruptions and the weather was fantastic. Overall it was an ...
Months ago my husband and I, our daughter, and her husband looked forward to a 12-day combination land/cruise Hawaiian vacation. Sadly, due to the summer wildfires, the Maui part of our 7-day Norwegian Cruise Line itinerary had to be omitted.
After several wonderful days at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Oahu, we hesitantly boarded the NCL ship Pride of America for a cruise that included ...
This is a very detailed review.
PROS
DINING
1. Cagney’s Steakhouse is excellent. The service is superb. The meats are succulent. There isn’t a miss on that menu. Not one.
2. Jefferson’s Bistro is also outstanding with a tremendous variety to choose from. The service is great too!
3. The Liberty main dining room is lavishly and impressively decorated in an American theme. There is ...
We started off on the wrong foot. Our airfare was included, BUT - Norwegian had my son and grandson on one flight and my daughter in law and granddaughter on a different flight! When we called NCL was very curt and said that we should have read the terms of our "contract" - which allowed them to book whatever airfare thy wanted. Really lousy customer service! Our travel agent felt so bad that she ...
