Review summary

Pride of America is a beautiful ship. Our stateroom was lovely, the public rooms were spacious and well-appointed, and there were plenty of choices for activities and places to dine onboard.

Ports of call

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

1 out of 5

We didn't have much time in Kona due to having to "tender." Also, Kona has turned into a big tourist trap with nothing but shops. Would skip it next time.

We rented a car and drove to Volcanoes National Park. The car rental allowed us to go at our own speed and see that part of the Big Island.

We rented a car and drove to Lahaina, less than an hour drive. We went on a 2-hour whale watch and saw dozens of whales.
