Months ago my husband and I, our daughter, and her husband looked forward to a 12-day combination land/cruise Hawaiian vacation. Sadly, due to the summer wildfires, the Maui part of our 7-day Norwegian Cruise Line itinerary had to be omitted. After several wonderful days at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Oahu, we hesitantly boarded the NCL ship Pride of America for a cruise that included ...

This was the most boring cruise I have been on. The ship itself had little activities. It didn't even have an activities director. There was little going on during the day. Whatever they stated in activities on the website was so lame. The putting green is about a 10'x 10' section. The arcade, the kids had to pay for. There was nothing for kids. I huge unused library. This is for old folks ...

The only positive thing I can say about this cruise is that the ship did not sink. The food is awful. The service is either awful or just okay. There are little to no actual activities on the ship. So you will find yourself doing nothing for the most part. Everything is over priced. They charge fountain soda for 5 dollars, this doesn’t include the automatic 20% gratuity either. They over price the ...

It's been my dream to visit Hawaii. I've been bugging my husband for the past 20 years and it finally came into fruition. In as much as I didn't want to do a cruise, it was definitely the biggest bang for my buck -- plus the chance to visit several locations. We arrive in Honolulu three days prior to joining the cruise. We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Waikiki Beach. Great location - a ...

Terrible service and amenities even though I paid for an owners suite. The first few days were nonstop with nothing listed or expected. Stateroom suite had issues with electrical, and jacuzzi. “Butler” was just a steward by a different name. I was continually embarrassed in front of my children trying to get the services that were promised with my “suite” and VIP status. It was more than ...

From the outset of this cruise, there were significant issues that marred our trip. Our reservation, made 2 years in advance and re-confirmed just months before the sailing included specific requests for connecting rooms. Unfortunately, in March 2023, we were given separate staterooms. Our party included of 30+passengers, including 6 young children under 9 years old. This unexpected arrangement ...

My husband and I love cruising and have traveled the world. We wanted to celebrate our 40th anniversary with family and share our favorite way to sight-see. My husband was skeptical, saying that cruising the Hawaiian Islands was really an expensive ferry ride... but I persevered and convinced him that it would be an amazing family celebration and vacation (without worrying about passports, etc., ...

This is a very detailed review. PROS DINING 1. Cagney’s Steakhouse is excellent. The service is superb. The meats are succulent. There isn’t a miss on that menu. Not one. 2. Jefferson’s Bistro is also outstanding with a tremendous variety to choose from. The service is great too! 3. The Liberty main dining room is lavishly and impressively decorated in an American theme. There is ...

The Pride of America is a very dated ship

Hawaii as a destination sells itself-you are surrounded by beauty everywhere-but NOT on the actual ship. The ship is very dated and made for an unbalanced experience as you sail from one Hawaiian port to another. I am a travel agent and have sailed on many cruise lines, including many times on NCL. I firmly believe that cruising the Hawaiian Islands is still one of the most cost-friendly ways ...

My family loves cruises. We have never sailed NCL so was not familiar with their quality standards (or lack thereof) I’ll review the whole enchilada. Room. We had a balcony room. We weren’t allowed to choose our room. They put us in a room right next to an elevator on the starboard side. Would never have chosen this location. Any other cruise you pick your stateroom based on what’s available ...
