My husband and I returned last week from a cruise around Hawaiian islands on Pride of America, a ship operated by the Norwegian Cruise Lines.

We have cruised on many ships around the world and enjoyed the privilege. On this ship we were frankly very disappointed.

FOOD: On other cruise ships it was a pleasure to sometimes NOT go to the main dining rooms and just wander in at our own pace to the buffet on the top deck. The food was always good & fresh. On Pride of America the buffet food at their Aloha restaurant was pathetic and lacked taste. We mostly ate fruits. And even in the main dining rooms the food on offer was very ordinary.

Cabin Review

We had a balcony cabin on the port side of Deck 10 midship. We were not made aware that cabins on Deck 10 had LARGE structural brackets on either side of the balcony which obstructed the view!! A handful of cabins towards the forward end of the deck did not have these. Ours did. To get a good view we had to stand against the balcony and lean out. It was far from panoramic! To any future travellers please make sure you don’t book Deck 10. Deck 9 would be far better.
