Loved the ship and crew members! Dealing with NCL/website was awful!

My husband and I chose this cruise as an anniversary celebration with our entire family (two children, plus their spouses and children), and we had traveled with Regent and Oceania multiple times before. NCL is a "sister" company, so we looked forward to a cruise giving us similar experiences. That simply is not the case with Norwegian. We won't be cruising with NCL ever again; we are already ...

Food better than expected - bar service terrible, show quality lacking

Aloha Cafe was the buffet - open most of the day. Frankly this was a pleasant surprise, several items the whole family found to be very good and worthy of having again and again. That's the good news. The disappointments start with the bar service - on several occasions I showed my unlimited soda plan card to the bartender and he then actively ignores me, serving other customers until I left in ...

The Pride of America is an old ship and a small one. Compared to the beautiful Hawaiian Islands this ship definitely did not compare. The crew does their very best to make the most of what they have to work with however, the food and on board activities need to be stepped up. I have no complaints with embarkation and disembarkation - it was fast and efficient. We did have to wait a couple of ...

This is my second time on Pride of America. Last time was 2006. It is a good cruise trip to get an overview of the Islands. Pros - Good Overview. Beds comfortable. Staff is very polite and helpful. Cabins - we had balcony level 10. It was very clean. Ship has a nicely stocked library, Cons - Very port intensive - so you need to make your shore plans to make the most of the trip. Very few ...

I chose this cruise because it was a last minute decision and the only one going to Hawaii on the date that I needed. I will NEVER AGAIN sail with Norwegian. Many of the staff members are not only not very friendly, but downright rude — they argue back with their passengers. I encountered this not only myself but was witness to others, too. The elevators were another issue. There are thousands ...

My wife and I, retired seniors, decided to take our grandchildren (ages 15, 13, 11) to Hawaii. We wanted to see as many of the islands as possible, but did not want to fly from island to island and stay in different hotels every day or two. We opted for a cruise, and found that the seven day cruise offered by Norwegian Cruise Lines was our best choice. The cruise offers one to two night stays at ...

We had the hotel stay the night before at the Marriott Waikiki. Everything was well organized. The bus picked us up at 10:45 and we were on the boat by noon. We had lunch in the Aloha Café. It wasn’t crazy crowded and we had no problem finding a seat for 5 of us. We did have to wait until about 3:30 for our room to be ready. They announced as each floor was ready. Ours was almost last; the first ...

Amazing itinerary and excursions - subpar ship

We chose Norwegian mainly because it was the only major cruise line at our price point that went to Hawaii in the summer (at least that we knew of). We tacked this trip to the back of a week trip in Oahu with my family, so our timing was limited. Overall, our experience was positive and we absolutely loved exploring the islands and doing the ship arranged excursions (rappelling, ziplining, ...

Decided in August 2017 to retire and then looked for the best way to see Hawaii for retirement vacation trip. NCL's Pride of America is the only game in town. Yes it has some highs and lows but overall our experience was very good. I will try to explain those highs and lows. Our trip was July 2018. Lows - First day on Ship was pretty much a waste of a day. We stayed at the Aston Waikiki ...

This was the only cruise I could find for the Hawaiian islands. In general the cruise was alright, but nothing exceptional. Bathrooms were small. Shower stall had curtains, no door. Food was ok. However, the service on the ship was very good. My main gripe was the "lunches" that were served by the tours for shore excursions. NCL said that lunches were provided on certain excursions. ...
