Review summary

Medical team was open two hours in morning and two hours in afternoon and required $150 consultation fee. Open four hours a day and charging a ridiculous fee was disheartening to say the least. Charging $15.51 per person per cabin per day for cabin service was a scam. No hotels throughout continental U.S. charge room service fee. Call it a “resort fee” and that would be consistent with other hotels

Tips go to all non executive staff. Common on all cruise ships. Done Pride 7 times as best way and least expensive way to see four major Hawaiian islands. Pride is only U.S. cruise ship in world with all U.S. executive staff and over 80% U.S. citizen crew. So they have restitions on pay, benefits and work hours. All ship supplies from fuel to tequila has to be shipped at least 2500 miles to Hawaii. So things getbexpensive but still great cruise. Crew members work 7 days a week for six to eight months without break before a one month vacation. We have met great people, passengers and crew alike on every cruise.
