Review summary

We got to see a great part of all of Hawaii on Pride of America. You unpack once...your hotel stays with you from Island to Island. Most ports we were at for two days. We packed in a variety of excursions and saw and learned so much of the Hawaiian culture. We took advantage of the pre-cruise package and had three great days in Honolulu. Loved the scenic route the ship took past the lava flow at night and around the big island on our final day at sea. Our Hawaii trip was spectacular!

Busy big city...glad we were on excursions to get around and not hassle with navigating in a car. Pearl Harbor is a must experience never to be forgotten.

Beautiful trip through Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park walked through a lava tube and saw an active volcano. Ended the day on a Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour over an active volcano!

Drove through a lava Desert to get to Waikoloa Beach. Another relaxing day, but because of the lava reef was not as nice to swim in.
