Pride of Aloha

7 Night Hawaii (Honolulu Roundtrip)

Sail date: July 30, 2006

Ship: Pride of Aloha

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Couple

Review summary

Food was fair in the buffet. We only ate in the dining room once and it was good, but not great. Our stateroom with the balcony was great. Plenty of room and the housekeeping staff did a pretty good job. The ship was reasonably well maintained and most of the crew were very helpful (with a couple of exceptions). This is a great way to see Hawaii if you have never been before.
