Review summary

Take the Pride for Hawaii and enjoy the ports. The ship is average at best but has old cruise ship charm and can be fun

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food and selections exceptional, service ABYSMAL

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Gym adequate, entering gym and spa from outside awkward

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows, comedian and magician were spectacular, entertainment in peripheral bars and cafes was choppy, too broken up, no place to really get settled and enjoy the entire night

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Have to qualify this statement, our Suite butler and concierges we’re attentive and responsive and were very good, the restaurant staff and waiters were the worst I have ever encountered

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
As advertised, luxurious way to cruise, entirely different experience and worth the expense

Ship tip

Have zero expectations from your wait staff, most are Americans with too much sense of entitlement and no sense or recognition of customer service
