Hawaii Cruise Reviews

Horrible I would never sail on Norwegian ever again!!!!!! Rude is not the word I would use but I can’t say how bad it was I have cruised over 20 times and I won’t be back on Norwegian

This is the first cruise I have been on, and will probably be the last. I wasn't impressed enough to change my normal vacation style as the cost / value ratio was not inline with expectations.

Hawaii was amazing. There is no way better to see it than cruising around the islands. However, NCL had terrible customer service, nobody cared that we were on our honeymoon. Wait staff was rude and always seemed annoyed. Entertainment severely lacked. Everything shuts down early. It felt like a floating motel 6.

It was 5 days of smooth sailing the Pacific to then cruise around the beautiful Hawaiian Islands for another 7 days. What more can one ask for? We are thankful for the gorgeous weather, great ports of call and great service aboard the Solstice.

This was a very much needed break for me and being on Solstice again was very nice. If you wanted to party, hang out, etc., there was always something to do, but if you just wanted to do nothing, that too was an option. Everyone caters to you and makes you feel like family.

Except for getting on and off things went very well. We really enjoyed meeting others. The waiters and room attendants did an excellent job. We enjoyed the entertainment and attended all shows. We played the games and thought the cruise director's staff did an excellent job. We felt goo even when we didn't win.

The sushi on the 5 was good. I really expected food to.be something special as i had heard the food was better then rc or princess. I would say from my experience it was not. Also i did not get to experience all the specialty restaurants on board due to the fact of muran being so bad. Presentation was nice but the flavor wasnt there by any means .

GREAT CRUISE AND GREAT SHIP (SOLISTE, CELEBRITY). THE CABIN WAS EXCELLENT, THE FOOD AND SERVICE ON THE SHIP WAS GREAT. THE SPECIALTY RESTURANTS, MURANO AND SILK HARVEST WERE GREAT IN SERVICE AND FOOD. THE SHIP WAS VERY CLEAN AND THE PEOPLE WERE CLASSY. THE CRUISE STAFF WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL. I DID NOT TAKE A CAMERA OR ANY PICTURES DURING THIS CRUISE.

Overall, it's an easy was to see the islands. However, don't expect to be cruising in luxury even though you'll pay a higher premium. Food is below average; except, the specialty restaurants. Spa is way over priced. Shore Excursion are OK, but I'd book them on my own. Embarkation/Disembarkation was easy!

This is only the second time we cruised with Carnival. We have always cruised on ships that were much smaller. We worried about having 1000 more guests on board than we were used to and many more kids.What we found was that if you book a cruise when the kids are in school the 1000 extra adult guests aren't a problem and Carnival looks after its guests very well and the ship does not seem crowded at all.

I would not take this cruise again unless many changes were done to docking locations on board cleanliness and service improved I also feel too many activities and give always only for elite I realize they may spend more but when you are first starting out what's the incentive?

LOVED IT... NOW PLANNING A RETURN TRIP, IN THE SAME EXACT MANNER!! The only thing that would have made it better would have been the 3am sunrise tour to The Summit, Haleakala!!

I would recommend this cruise to everyone!!! I am so happy I was able to see and experience different islands as each have their own unique features and qualities. Amazing vacation!!!!

Enjoyed the cruise very much, from the ship, excursions, food, everything! We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and brought our children and their spouses. We were in Honolulu in 1968. I met my husband their on his R & R from Vietnam. We had 5 days together before he went back to DaNang. We said we always wanted to come back. So, this cruise was the perfect time.

Norwegian Pride of America exceeded all expectations. This was the vacation of a lifetime. I cannot be more thankful to Elaine Gold for all of her help in making this dream come true. I am crying now I am still so happy. I have recommended this to everybody I know.

It was a great way to see multiple islands without the hassle of air travel, but was limiting in that you had brief periods of time on each island. Not sure if we would see Hawaii this way again.

bar are too expensive and quantity was very less compare to other bars. staff are not friendly at all. food was not good too and they did not provide what they promise.

The cruise was wonderful. We would like to do this one again. It was a convenient way to see as many islands as possible within a week. Norwegian really handled everything for us making the trip easy and stress free!

A good way to get an overview of Hawaii and visit all the major attractions. Would definitely prefer more time in just a couple of ports for a different experience, but as a cruise, this was fun.

The cruise was excellent. The scenery was amazing at the islands. The crew was very hospitable and were quick to respond to requests. Overall, an amazing vacation that I wish I was still on!
