Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Pride of America

I chose this cruise because I wanted to see all of Hawaii- never been and i am in my sixties. Chose this for the fact you see so much of the Islands. I have previously only done a Mississippi River Cruise (American) and Mediterranian (Celebrity), both of which I thought were awesome- with minor quibbles. The Good stuff- The "Hawaiian Ambassador"- Anela St Thomas - is GREAT. Always available ...

Pride of America is an anomaly in the NCL fleet - it does not vary from its four-island Hawaii itinerary - no sea days - never leaving American waters - no casino (as per law). I was relieved to discover that its design was not all colonial / monument style - that is limited to the main lobby and a few restaurants. The other public areas are themed around the rest of America: Napa CA (wine bar), ...

We chose this cruise to see the variety of beauty available in the different Hawaiian Islands. The islands are beautiful and cruising is a great way to get to each one saving time and hassle by not dealing with airports so our main objective was accomplished. I have sailed on Norwegian Cruises before so I had some expectations of what I would be getting for my money. However, some advice I ...

I chose this cruise because it was a good value for the money I paid for it. It was my 2nd time on Princess. I would cruise with this line again but it is not my favorite. The shore excursion to the Waimea Canyon in Kaua'i was awesome, as was the one to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in Hilo which included a stop at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory. There were too many nights in which I ...

Greetings from aboard the Crown Princess! We are on a 16-day cruise to Hawaii, RT San Francisco. I boarded the ship with great trepidation. The Cruise Critic comments about the ship and the itinerary caused me to think that perhaps we'd made a grave error in booking this cruise. However, that angst was put to rest the first day. While more traditional (vs. glitzy) in appearance, the ship ...

Of all the many cruises we’ve enjoyed on ships large and small, this was by far the worst. Although the ship itself is elegant, good management was sorely lacking. We were told that the ship is always short-staffed because their people can (and do) leave without fulfilling their contracts. Well, I think incentives and bonuses might help. Keep your people happy so your customers will be treated ...

I'm an experienced cruiser who has cruised on small and large ships all over the world for the past 15 years. I chose this inter island cruise in Hawaii based on the location for my 40th birthday without the hassle "sea days" taking another cruise line across the Pacific Ocean from either California or Canada to visit Hawaii and all the islands. The perk of the ship is that is its very clean and ...

Cruise Period Feb 3 - Feb 10, 2024 Embarked on Sat Afternoon Feb 3. At 5pm the Ship's Cruise Director (AKA A LO HA ANNE) announced the Ship would remain in Honolulu overnight because of a part needed for repair. In realty the seas were ugly with 15' - 20' seas. The decision to stay in port was correct. But, WHY hide behind the Maintenance excuse? Then decision was made to ...

Where to begin. Cold and mediocre food on the buffet. Only about TWO total entertainment activities worth your time. Because of weather, 2 out of our 3 excursions were canceled and couldn't be rescheduled because they had no back up plan. Most of the staff was rude and treated us like an after thought and not like a guest at all. Guest services argued with us that we hadn't paid for a drink ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

My wife and I try to take a “find the Sun” activity around February to get away from the Northwest Indiana winter. This year it was the 18 day Hawaii from San Diego back to San Diego. This was also our fourth HAL cruise in five months. With over 50 cruises under our collective belts, this one goes down toward the bottom of the list. HAL cannot be held accountable for the weather and I do not ...
