Review summary

Pride of America provided a first-class overview of Hawaii with beautiful vistas, luxurious spaces, gourmet food, excellent entertainment, and friendly staff. Although we missed a port due to weather, the captain made up for it by sight seeing. The staff was helpful and nice. Once in a while a brief flicker of American attitude nearly surfaced but was quickly hidden. Few would notice. The entertainment was incredible in the main theater. The bar and lounge areas were not quite as good as on the Epic but that would have been hard to match. We were a bit disappointed with the port location in Maui and the price of the tours in general. As the cruise was far more expensive than most, the tours seemed way too costly to add to the vacation so we had to limit how much we got to see of Hawaii, unfortunately. The cruisetour prior to the cruise was wonderful and well-worth the time and price. I have already highly recommended this cruise to my friends. Thanks to Norwegian for another fantastic cruise. We will return soon, probably Alaska next.

Add a post cruise hotel. This was so relaxing/

Kahului, Maui Did not visit port

Rent a car to save cash and see what you want rather than the expensive tours. We did not realize car rental was cheaper and easier.

Hilo, Hawaii

I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise. We will be on it from Australia in March 2018. How was the weather in general? Which port did you have to miss? You will love Alaska! That was our first cruise. Hawaii will be our third. We are hooked on the ease of cruising now!
