We went on our first and LAST cruise ever on the Pride of America that cruised all 4 major Hawaiian island during April of 2015. The boat is on the medium/smaller scale compared to the larger newer boats. We paid extra and got the larger balconies on towards the front of the ship. The balconies were bigger, maybe 10x10 ish and the room was fine except the bathroom was super tiny. If you are over 6 foot good luck taking a shower, it will be almost impossible.

The pools on the ship are a joke, more like wadding pools smaller than a backyard pool. The food was bad to horrible, the activities were boring. Food just seemed like a college food hall nothing special. People buzzing all around headed in different directions very confusing. Beers were $8 for Miller Lite.

Every time i got off the ship the only reason i got back on was because of family, i was so pissed every time i had to get back on. All the islands were great but because of time constraints you always felt rushed. I guess it was a good way to quickly see all the islands but after this cruise i am done with cruising. Read more
