Hawaii Cruise Reviews

Do not i repeat, do not book an norwegian/oceana cruise. You have been warned we are on the around the world cruise currently. the cruise is 196 days from miami florida to new york. It is utterly a complete disappoint. If i was to write every disappointment, we have experienced up to now it would be 10 pages. We are going to try to condense it. First, they advertises the best cuisine at sea. That ...

Chose our 1st Viking cruise from an advertised special on internet. Didn't appreciate had to pay for cruise in full at time of booking. Very inconvenient. The attention to detail definitely noted. The food very good and well presented.would have liked more variety of entertainment and more recent movies in state room. Staff was wonderful. Disappointed in excursions but narrators and drivers were ...

We very much enjoyed the Hawaiian Sojourn Cruise on Viking Star. Our PV2 Stateroom was lovely, clean, comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of closet space and drawers for all of our clothes. We loved the robes and slippers they provide. The bathroom is lovely with a heated floor and towel rack and has plenty of storage space as well. The staff and crew on Viking are exceptional, always ...

Our cruise on Viking was so-so at best. I will be avoiding that cruise line in the future. LAX as a major departure/arrival airport and San Pedro as the cruise port are EXTREMELY unsuitable and inconvenient. I have no idea why Viking selected this terrible combination as one of their two basic ports (the other being New York -- can you believe it?). There was hardly anything for us in the ...

We chose the Viking Panama Canal 16 day cruise because of the opportunity for extended sea days mixed with South American tropical ports of call. This itinerary afforded us ample time aboard to take advantage of multiple Nordic Spa days, daily promenade walks at sunrise, sunsets on our veranda and star lite nights. Quiet times to sunbath with a good book or reflect upon the soul stirring live ...

We chose Pride of America to have the option to see all the islands in Hawaii and not just one during vacation. Overall, I would rate the cruise as average. There were tons of updates needed aboard the ship, such as the pool and deck area. Most things were rusted out and not a good site. I have cruised on other ships with celebrity and royal and those ships seemed updated and refreshing. What I ...

Experienced cruisers. My wife wanted to LOVE this cruise. It’s Hawai’i. It’s Norwegian. She has experienced both and enjoyed. I personally have only experienced Celebrity, RC, and Princess. I’ve been on 7 or 8 cruises. Been to Hawai’i once before. Hawai’i is fine. Second time here. Pretty. But I’m a value guy, and so I’ll NEVER love Hawai’i. But it’s neat for sure. Would I come back? No - a lot ...

Friends were traveling on this cruise ship and I was invited to go with them. They had a balcony room on 14. I had to pay double for a room because I was considered "traveling solo!" Public restrooms were horrible! Water was leaking from a light fixture in the ceiling while we were waiting for our room. That was a sign of things to come. Several leaks throughout the ship. Don't ...

The good... the food and the wonderful staff at the restaurants and Lido. The room is nice and the room stewards are amazing. The boat was generally pretty clean for as many sneezing, coughing, and dirty people there were. The hot tubs were clean. Laundry service is well worth the cost. The bartenders and wait staff around the outdoor pool area are the hardest working people I've seen on the boat. ...

We chose this cruise because we've enjoyed Holland America cruises in the past, and because the itinerary was what we were looking for. Sadly, Holland America has declined sharply in recent years. This cruise was like staying in a second-rate Las Vegas hotel: *smokey casino, with smoke drifting into other areas of the ship *deafening music in all the music venues *no classical music ...
