We chose the Pride of America ship because we wanted to cruise around the Hawaiian Islands since we were going to be visiting my sister-in-law in Oahu. We especially enjoyed the evening entertainments of musical shows, a magician and a comedian. The Aloha Cafe and the formal dining rooms had excellent food (we especially enjoyed the breakfasts). Also would have to say that all the cruise staff did an excellent job of being sure that everyone had the best trip possible. Norwegian offers many shore excursions for all kinds of experiences. We chose to do an excursion on Hilo and another one on Kona. We thought about doing the Luau on Kauai, but it was a rainy day. Overall, the tour directors do a good job about telling you about history and personal experiences. You can tell that the cruise director and her assistant really enjoy their jobs because they try to be very upbeat and personable with people. We have never sailed Norwegian before but would definitely do so again.
