Review for a Hawaii Cruise on Pride of America

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

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 ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We were in a mid-ship Neptune Suite across from the Neptune Lounge. We are both in our mid-to-late 70’s and are 4-star Mariners with Holland American. This was our 8th HAL cruise, all of which have been in Neptune Suites. We left San Diego on January 27, 2024 for an 18-day round-trip cruise to Hawaii. If this had been our very first cruise, I might have rated this a bit higher. But when ...

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 ...

Wish It Was Better
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We were very disappointed in serveral areas while on the ship. 1. The entertainment in the Hollywood theartre, with the exception of the magician and the Hawaiian opening, was not good. The comedian was very disappointing and vulgar. 2. The chairs in the Hollywood theatre were worn out and very uncomfortable. You slid off them as you were watching the performance. 3. Cost of ...

This was our 69th cruise but only second on Holland America. The ship was nice but not as elegant or as well laid out as Celebrity Solstice and Edge class ships - which we love. We picked this cruise for the itinerary and the time of the year it was sailing. Our most enjoyable meal was in the Pinnacle which we ate at twice. The service in there was top notch too. The dining room food was ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hawaii was on our bucket list and we had the time for 16 days. HAL made it seem longer! This was cruise 17 for us. Third on HAL. No rookies here! On all the best lines e.g. Viking. HAL has cut back too far. Loss of Lincoln Center is a good example. $4 extra charge for orange juice is another. Cruise featured chaos at embarkcation and 3 1/2 hour delay in leaving SAN. During cruise ship had ...

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

This cruise was selected to see different Hawaiian islands besides Oahu. I would give it a 3.5, but no option. The entertainment and food service were much better on two previous NCL cruises we took to Alaska and the Carribean. It seemed like the staff was all new and not as experienced and professional. We rented a car in each port except Kona; where two of our group had an excursion ...

Information Lacking: For First Cruise

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

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 ...
