Sailed on Pride of America for 7 night cruise. 2 people. Stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki 3 nights prior to cruise. Excellent location & pool. For inexpensive souvenirs, go to Duke's Marketplace. Went to the Polynesian Cultural Center - great place to learn about islands/history. Luau was just ok. Ha Breath of Life show was good but long. We also went to the north shore & did shark cage excursion - ...
We recently completed a cruise on the POA. It was our second time on NCL and our eight cruise overall. We upgrade this time to a Penthouse Suite. The cabin was a good size and well appointed with plenty of storage room. We had a great time and the weather was also good. The ship was in great shape and the crew we interacted with were all pleasant and professional. This is contrary to a number of ...
Great cruise. We had large balcony cabin. Was always clean. Food was good. Can order whatever and as much as you want. Nightly entertainment was excellent. East meets West restaurant is a must. Need to make reservation as soon as on ship cause it fills up. Don't really need a shore excursion in Kona if you just want to shop, eat, and walk around. Small beach is there also. We stayed two nights ...
I sailed on this cruise as someone who cannot eat gluten or dairy. I was very skeptical that the staff and chefs could accommodate my food issues. I was very pleasantly surprised.
I had contacted special needs several months in advance, and also since we upgraded to a suite, I contacted the preconcierge. She was able to tell me about all of the gluten free products available onboard.
It ...
Destination, destinations, the cruise was amazing, a journeys cruise with lots of extras to a normal cruise. Staff were wonderful. Ship was clean and the food was fantastic, we had foods from all the different islands, so much fresh fruit and a added midnight buffet. I really can not fault anything about this cruise , it was everything we wanted plus more.
We stayed in 4k, great part of the ...
Let’s start with the ambiance ….utterly amazing walking onto the boat you get the feel of class and royalty with 1st class treatment the boarding process you can’t avoid but from the second you walk onto the boat you are nothing short of amazed at every level of the ship from the Cafe al Bacio to the Gelateria to Specialty Dining. Being mid ship is pure beauty while on board and the atmosphere ...
Chose this cruise because of the destinations. Found embarkation could have been handled better ie. long time queuing. Hard sales for drinks packages which were extortionate compared to other cruise lines, speciality restaurants and always pushing for booking another cruise in the news letter received every evening in the cabin. Excursions were also expensive compared to other cruise lines and not ...
The beautiful ship and diverse, paradise destinations were an irresistible combination. The excellent service and entertainment more than lived up to our expectations. As Aqua Class cruisers, we dined in Blu for the first time and were very happy with the meals and the service. The only drawback as a Blu diner was that we were not able to invite non-Aqua guests to join us because of limited ...
Honolulu to Sydney - While we do not usually give extra tips money on this cruise our service was so good we gave extra to a number of the staff. We did not expect the greatest entertainment as this was a transpacific voyage but what was presented was done well. The food was excellent, the wait staff was very gracious. All the staff seemed happy and more than willing to please. If they sensed ...
We had some niggles/problems during the first few days of our cruise: butler was rather absent, especially when time to help us unpack, non-existent staff on deck 16 when sunbathing and wanting a drink, or even a mat for the wicker sun lounger, some false charges on the account etc etc; however we addressed them with the ship and plans were immediately put in place to ensure the rest of our ...
