Excellent Itenerary by motox86

Sail date: Nov 16, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Pride of America

The NCL Pride of America is a popular choice for Hawaiian cruises, offering an excellent itinerary that visits multiple islands, allowing guests to explore the unique beauty of Hawaii without frequent unpacking. Here’s a quick review based on your experience: Pros: Perfect Itinerary: Covers the major Hawaiian islands, including Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, with plenty of time to explore onshore. Convenience: Embarking in Honolulu simplifies travel logistics. Hawaiian Ambiance: The onboard decor and activities reflect the local culture, enhancing the experience. Good Overall Service: Friendly staff and smooth operations. Cons: Outdated Rooms: The cabins might feel dated compared to newer ships, but they're still functional and clean. Limited Luxury Feel: It’s not a flashy cruise but more about the destinations. Overall: A solid choice for exploring Hawaii, with the itinerary being the standout feature. Updating the staterooms would make it an even better experience. Would you sail again on it?

We are here just for the Ports of Call! by charby71

Sail date: Oct 26, 2024 / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Pride of America

We wanted to visit multiple islands of Hawaii and booked this cruise with friends. We loved the islands we visited and most excursions. Just do not judge the cruising industry and experience off of this cruise (if you book). It's just a nice floating hotel that delivers you to different islands. It's a smaller ship too so you will feel a lot of the seas and some other passengers were sick.

This was a great way to see the different islands. The ship was comfortable and never felt overcrowded even though it was a full ship.

If you can afford it, I would recommend upgrading from window cabin to balcony. It seems that those were considerably larger and the balconies I saw in my exploring the ship were as nearly large as our outside window cabin. The Cadillac Grill is a pretty good lunch place. Not quite so crowded.
