Pride of America Review

Additional details
This was our first time to Hawaii and we wanted to see as much as we could so we chose a cruise.
Embarkation and disembarkation: Both went smoothly, so that's a plus. When embarking, we had to wait about an hour until our cabin was ready so we had a drink to pass the time. We disembarked at our scheduled time (which we were able to choose) and our luggage was very easy to find. Another plus!
Ship: The ship was typical NCL. The passageways were narrow, but the stairs could easily fit 3 people across. This was handy since we rarely use elevators on board. We've been on some cruises that provide a credit-card size fold-out map of the ship; NCL didn't offer that, which made it a bit more difficult to get around. The biggest issue I had was that it seemed to be very cold in most areas of the ship. I usually like it cold (I keep the house AC set to about 70s most of the year), but this was ridiculous.
Cabin Review
Large Balcony
Our balcony cabin seemed a bit smaller than other cruise lines, but the balcony itself was large enough for 2 chairs, 2 chaises and a small table (of course, we paid for the extra space). The bed was comfortable and we had just enough closet/drawer space to hold our stuff. The bathroom was clean and there was just enough room to hold our toiletries.
