My husband and I went to Honolulu for our honeymoon to cruise on the pride of america ship for 7 days. By day 3 i wanted to fly back home. The people on the ship were very rude, no one would speak to you, it was like we were on another planet or something. We had dinner 3 nights at one the specialty restaurants and got bad looks like we didn't belong there or something. It was very disturbing and ...
If you want to cruise several islands, NCL is you only choice. Our high expectations for the beauty of the islands was fully met, but the ship was quite disappointing. Most disturbing was frequent sewage odor in our stateroom. Each time we complained, we got an aerosol spray and were told there was a plumbing problem that they were working to fix. They never did. Everywhere we ate, the food was ...
Well to start with ......norwegian was the only choice for a 7 day hawaii cruise that basically stays in hawaii all 7 days. Holland america (which is the number 1 cruise line in my book) was 10 days and longer with half the ports. I wish holland america would dock and match there ports. If you do a cruise you spend alot of time in the cabin, eating at restaurants, and excursions. I'll start with ...
I am currently on the Pride of America. This is our 6th NCL cruise and have always been over the moon with everything from entertainment, service and food. I hate to be negative because as I said I am in beautiful Hawaii, but the service on the cruise (mostly wait and bar staff) have got to be the rudest people we have experienced. So many of the guest that we have come in contact with have all ...
1. The cabin had a bilge/sewage odor. While the steward tried to spray to mask the odor, it never went away. So we had to sleep with the sliding door open which made the cabin hot and humid and left us drained and tired during the day. We should not have had to stay in the cabin under those conditions but we were told that ship was full.
2. To escape the odor in the cabin I went to the the ...
We chose Pride of America because there wasn't an alternative for just cruising around the Hawaiian Islands. The alternate requires cruising from the North American west coast with 4 wasted days at sea. The most disappointing aspect on Pride of America was the quality of food offered in some of the venues. Specifically their "Italian" spot was certainly not worth any upcharge; indeed there ...
We chose this cruise because it seemed like the best way to see the islands. Dealing with Norwegian is a nightmare. Booking through them was a problem from day one. My account was “migrating” for over a month during which time I got no help from the representatives and my account information was incorrect. We booked our flight through them and was told we would know 75 days out our flight ...
We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit the islands of Hawaii on our favorite cruise line.
We stayed in Waikiki one night prior to sailing and again one night upon our return, prior to flying home.
Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly.
Having cruised with Norwegian on 7 previous occasions, we felt that we knew what to expect as far as ship cleanliness, cabin, dining ...
I was disappointed with the service on this ship. Initially, I thought it was me, but soon spoke with other passengers who were used to cruising and they thought the same.
The bar staff in particular were rude, only paid attention to people they liked. Service was also painfully slow. No one seemed to know how the drink package should work so the price of everything was completely ...
Sadly, NCL currently has the market cornered when it comes to Hawaiian cruises. No complimentary transportation to or from the airport to the ship. $30 for a 5 mile taxi ride each way. From the minute you step on the ship you are charged for something. As if paying over $4000 for a room is not enough for them, they also hit you for an additional $15.67 per person PER day for "services and fees". ...
