Pride of America

7 Night Hawaii (Honolulu Roundtrip)

Sail date: November 18, 2006

Ship: Pride of America

Cabin type: Balcony

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

The ship was is great condition, the crew were very helpful and friendly, the food in the Lazy J steakhouse and Little Italy restaurant was terrific, the production shows were the best I have ever seen on a cruise ship (this was my 8th cruise), by far the nicest and largest fitness center I have ever seen on a ship. Book the steakhouse, italian and Asian restaurants when you first board the ship if you want to dine before 930pm.
