If you love Hawaii and the fact that the Pride of America is American registered, you'll love the spirit of the crew and the experience. Cruising around the islands results in a minimum amount of cruise time and maximum amount of port time. My experience is that the entertainment is a step above other NCL cruises I have been on. In addition to "cruise cast" shows, that were superb, the "Oh What A Night" show saluting the Four Seasons is exceptional. Saw it 7 years ago and again in 2017 and it never gets old. Again the crew from all other the United States as well as foreign countries makes for a great environment.

No need to visit specialty restaurants. The two main dining rooms are superb. The highlights include cruising pass the "big island" volcano at night and the Nepali Coast on the final afternoon of the seven day cruise. All in all, magnificent experience.
