Pride of Aloha
Sail date: April 16, 2006
The ship was decorated well and had a classy, yet colorful decor. After reading about how small the "Pride of Aloha" was, we were a little tentative, but very pleasantly surprised. One nice thing was that the suitcases fit under the bed and were out of the way. The room size was fine, but we were traveling with friends who did not have a balcony, and were very glad we did have one. Bathrooms had lots of shelves to hold personal items and closets had plenty of hangers. The specialty italian restaurant was elegant and the food superb. We seemed to eat most of our meals at the buffet, as it was quick, and we didn't have to dress up. Food was good, but a bit monotonous. The full-service restaurants were very nice as well and had a variety each night. Entertainment at night was good and we especially enjoyed the comedian. A little difficult to see the shows sometimes, as the rows of seats had very little elevation. All said, I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to see several Hawaiian Islands.
