Fun Kama'aina family trip by KM808

Sail date: / Traveled as: Family (older children)
Ship: Pride of America

From embarkation until the very end of the cruise, the ship's crew were friendly and helpful. Food was usually good or very good, with the exception of the Cadillac Diner, which was just OK. That food was a bit too greasy for my tastes, but it's the only real option after 9 PM. The ship had a few maintenance issues that affected our vacation, but we dealt with it the best we could. My request to NCL would be to keep at least one more restaurant open later to accommodate the guests who like to stay up late and/or return from a late shore excursion. Karaoke nights are also very popular, so do those every night. I feel sorry for the bartenders who need to listen to it though, but it kept the guests happy. Overall, a pleasant way to get a taste of three of the neighbor islands (Maui, Big Island - Hilo & Kona, and Kauai). I left off Oahu, because that is the start and endpoint, so you're free to add day(s) before and after the cruise.

Cruise, staff and food were wonderful. Ports were beautiful. Not happy having bunkbeds over our bed and shower was extremely small. Otherwise cabin was fine.

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.
