FIRST ADVICE: It says 7 day cruise, and you get Free airfare. My advice book your own. On the last day of the cruise you arrive back to Honolulu and you must depart ship by 9 am . but you booked flight does not take off until 10 pm. so what do you do all day with your luggage. Some people rented cars , some people lugged their luggage around with them. We chose to take one of the final day ...
We chose Pride of America because we have sailed N.C.L and always had a great experience, full of laughs , great food, and entertainment. This was a bucket list trip.
Check in was great. Well organized quick and easy. Staff were great. We found our stateroom to be clean and the bed was wonderful. We purchased the bar and gratuity package, Well worth the money.
Unfortunately the meals did not ...
I chose this cruise because I wanted to escape from the cold, dreary weather before Christmas. My sister and I took this as a girls trip - we left the husbands and critters at home.
The Good: The crew on this sailing were fantastic as were the Officers. Kate Syrett, the cruise director was amazing-though a little bit over the top for my taste. Kate lead exercise classes that were well ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary. We are experienced Princess customers with 10 cruises.
They claim to have the best dining. We found the dining very good but behind in quality from our experience with Princess.
We never received a post cruise survey email.
Excursion deployment was managed poorly. Excursion employees struggled with correct English and talked on PA system too ...
Too few waiters, too much cost cutting, penny pinching everywhere, but staff great and ship in good condition. Food nowhere need as good as it used to be and repeated items on each evenings menus. Some of the things that used to be included, such as lobster, now are charged extra, although we did get a small portion as part of the main meal on one evening.Limited options in Horizon dining room. ...
First the pros of this cruise and the Sapphire Princess ship, and there were several areas that were excellent:
1. Medallion service/functionality is great. Making it very easy to order food and drinks pretty much anywhere on the ship. Embarkation was simple/easy. The medallion appears to be the only new thing that Princess has done since we sailed last with them in 2016.
2. The ...
Wanted to see Hawaii. Twice we requested wake up calls and did not receive.Holland web site advertises Dutch Cafe 16 Dutch and Belgium beers with 4 on tap. DID NOT HAVE. Met with beverage manager his answer was they were ordered but not sent. Hard to believe a company as big as CARNIVAL{who owns holland} can't get what they order covid is over.
Food variety at Lido dining poor.Taramand fee ...
We selected this cruise because of the itinerary and wanted to see the South Pacific!
Three ports visited on a Sunday! NOTHING OPEN! Except a McDonalds in one port. Papeete was a two day stop and was closed for a national holiday Veterans Day. The excitement was watching the re-provisioning of the ship. Another port and a canceled port we cruised around the destination and looked at it from ...
The main draw for booking this cruise was the itinerary which cruised one way from Honolulu to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia over our 20th anniversary. Having sailed twice on Celebrity since cruising restarted it is the cruise line my husband and I are most familiar with at this time. Everything went as planned with no problems or disruptions and the weather was fantastic. Overall it was an ...
Embarkation day went well. We got to the Seattle Pier 91 around noon. It took 15 minutes to board after going through security. At 1pm our cabin was ready and we were in an inside cabin a few doors from the very aft of the ship. The cabin layout is very good except for the shower. There is no plastic or glass door but only a plastic shower curtain and very worn out. We picked an inside cabin ...
