Pride of America Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise as it is the only one that leaves from Honolulu and visits the various islands of Hawaii. We found the islands to be amazingly beautiful and would love to go back. However, we were very disappointed in the ship.
To begin with, once we were on board, we had to wait for 4 yes, 4 hours to be able to access our stateroom. This was my 13th cruise over various lines, and this was the first time we ever had to wait to get to our stateroom.
We were very disappointed in the food that was offered. Oh it offered the usual fried chicken, spaghetti, lasagna, steak but not a lot else. One night they had a sweet and sour pork but the small chunks of pork were so tough I had to cut them with a knife and then they were very chewy.

Mid-Ship Balcony
Smaller than most, but adequate.
Port Reviews
Honolulu
We preferred to rent a car and explore on our own.
Maui
Gorgeous island. We rented a car to explore on our own. However, there isn't all that much to do there, so 2 days there was a bit much. Would have preferred 2 days at Hilo.
Hilo
Great place. We did a helicopter tour booked privately. Much to do there and would have liked more time there.
Kona (Kailua Bay)
Another great place. Would like to go back. Plenty of shopping and easy to get around.
Kauai
The most beautiful island of all. The canyon there is a must see! Again, we rented a car and explored the island on our own. Would love to go back there.
