A friend and I cruised the Pride of America Hawaii cruise on 04/12/14. It was my friends 1st time in Hawaii and I had resided in Hawaii years ago. It was a awesome cruise! The itinerary and the amount of time at the ports were great, but 7 days is not enough time to visit Hawaii. Maybe in the future they can make this cruise a 10-12 day cruise, because I definitely be on it again.

We stayed 2 nights prior to the cruise at the Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa and enjoyed our stay. We made these reservations on our own and not through NCL and received a great rate. The hotel couldn't have been better. The room, overlooking the ocean, the service throughout the hotel, checking in/checking out as we returned on the 19th after the cruise for 1 night. Great location!

Checking in at the pier was quick and painless. When we arrived on ship our room was ready and within 1 1/2 hour our luggage was waiting outside our cabin. Read more
