I can honestly say we had a great time, we booked the cruise as a different way in coming home to Australia from the USA, with the price of airfares these days it was a no brainer, we were told it was a repositioning cruise and were told not to expect too much, we had no expectations so thought, lets go!
We booked a rear suite, a premier drinks package with all the trimmings direct with ...
We sailed on POA at the end of September in 2023. I poured over reviews on this site and will admit that I had my expectations set very low from the consistently harsh reviews on here. This will not be such a review. We had an absolute wonderful vacation in Hawaii. Is this a traditional cruise? Absolutely not. If you go in thinking you're going to be doing activities all over the ship during ...
After 31 years, it was time for us to return to Hawaii, so we went by ship. Royal Princess scheduled a 7 day cruise from Vancouver B.C. to Honolulu with a stop in Seattle.
Embarkation at Canada Place was very quick even though we were in the Blue Lane. We picked up our medallions, dropped our bags in our cabin and went to Concerto for lunch. This was the best meal I had in one of the Main ...
We chose this cruise so we would have many sea days, but also the itinerary was amazing! We went from Vancouver to Seattle, then Hawaii, French Polynesia, Tahiti, New Zealand and ended in Sydney, Australia. We loved it all! The food on board was great, although we found there could have been a little change from week to week, but all in all it was very good. Even the buffet had good choices! Being ...
We were bit concerned about the ship after seeing negative reviews but we had no issues. Ship is small but has plenty of bars and more places to eat then you can actually do in a week!
No sewage smells like others have reported.
All crew we met were great, always had a smile on their faces and we're great fun.
Cabins are on the small side but there is plenty of storage and it's such a ...
We chose this Cruise to get to see more of the Hawaiian Islands and that happened ok.
Having read the good and bad reviews of the Pride of America I can confirm both. Just depends upon what you want. It wasn’t a relaxing cruise with plenty of on board activities. It was a trip around the islands doing plenty of activities. NCL activities are expensive and we heard from others that they could be ...
Ship was very nice. Food was a little over the top to fancy at some restaurants like chilled soup or very small portions at some of the restaurant. That being said, there was some restaurants that were very good a few healthy portions. I thought the activities that they provided on board were OK but some of the late night dancing and parties should’ve been held a little earlier for some of the ...
Hawaii…Come on you can’t beat this! The weather daily was in the 80’s and passengers were in good moods! We have travelled many times with Celebrity and enjoy all the cruises. This is no exception. So why the rating not to be perfect, well we will get to that later. First the arrival and getting on the ship was the best we ever had. We got there about an hour earlier that what our scheduled said, ...
We wanted to cruise in Hawaii to see more of the islands. This was our goal and it was accomplished! The ship is basic and I felt they didn’t try as hard because of the beautiful setting. Food was par to subpar, rooms had an odor. Staff varied. I felt the staff in main dining and buffet were better overall. Room steward didn’t really interact with us like cruises before COVID (in fact he threw ...
PRE-CRUISE: Our trip began on May 8th with a 6:00 a.m. American flight from Tallahassee to Honolulu with a stop in Dallas. Flying time was 10.5 hours and we arrived in Honolulu at 3:45 p.m. On the 8-hour flighty from Dallas to Honolulu, they only served a light snack, so I recommend that you take some food with you on the flight. We arrived in Honolulu the day before the cruise and stayed at ...
