Review summary

We loved our first trip to Hawaii and would do this again in a heartbeat. The Pride of America is a classy ship and more than met our expectations. A great bargain for the price.

Fast and highly efficient. We were checked in and in our cabin with luggage in less than an hour.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Multiple places to choose from including 24/7 buffets and specialty, themed restaurants. Loved the relaxed atmosphere in the buffets as well as the more formal restaurants. Food was superb regardless of where we ate or dined.

Onboard Activities

Pool and sunning soaking areas were convenient and easy to use.

All services were timely, professional, and with smiling faces and welcoming words. We were treated like royalty.

Ship Quality

The ship was easy to navigate from area to area and deck to deck. Everything we saw and used was spotless.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were pleasantly surprised at the roominess of our cabin. It was well designed, clean, and well maintained. We loved the balcony for the view, and its spaciousness was just a topping.

Ship tip

Don't over pack---you really won't use all that stuff!

Ports of call

Honolulu, Oahu

4 out of 5
Honolulu was just too crowded and busy for our taste. Pearl Harbor was moving.

Kahului, Maui

5 out of 5
Maui was more laid back and we enjoyed the excursions.

Hilo, Hawaii

5 out of 5
Hilo was also laid back and we especially enjoyed the excursion to the volcanoes, rain forest, coffee house, and candy shops.

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Did not visit port

Nawiliwili, Kauai

5 out of 5
Simply beautiful and lush. The luau was well done but that venue could work on their seating and viewing. It was pricey not to be able to see any better.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and efficient.
