Pride of America Review

Additional details
We had one night pre-cruise accommodation provided through NCL at Hilton Hawaiian Village. We had to book another night, as direct flights only arrived on the Thursday. HHV is a very expensive over priced crowded resort. As Hilton Honors gold, we were supposed to get free breakfast, but at this resort it was $10 each credit, which barely bought a coffee. They only gave it to us for our paid night - not the night booked through NCL.
I had tried emailing the resort prior to connecting the two bookings, but received no response on numerous attempts.
It took a long time at reception to connect the bookings. They eventually put us in the same room for both nights after a lot of computer tapping. We had booked a partial ocean view - a distant view if you were on the balcony. We also had a distant view of the rooftop luau on the Thursday night.
Cabin Review
2-Bedroom Obstructed View Family Suite
The view really is quite obstructed. There are rooms on this deck that have much better views which was disappointing. We thought as a suite, there may be partial views but all you can see is lifeboats that did not get used as tenders.
The room for four people was a good size. The second bedroom is completely private and having two bathrooms was a huge bonus. The rooms sleep more (up to 8), but that would be quite squishy! I think the other suites (7592 & 7092) were slightly larger.
Suite privileges are a nice way of feeling special. Being mid ship was very convenient.

Honolulu
Post cruise, we hiked up Diamond Head one day. We did a circle tour another day.
