Great food, limited venues, slow service, many bars & restaurants closed, not fully operational- 40% capacity and service- cruise should be discounted 40%

7 Night Hawaii (Honolulu Roundtrip)

Ship: Pride of America

Cabin type: Suite

Cabin number: 13012

Traveled as: Large Group

Review summary

Travelled with 10 people, 5 cabins. Food was outstanding but many restaurants and bars closed. In main dining room (only one open) service was quite slow, servers forgetful… IMHO if cruise line is only at 40% then they should be discounting price for cruise as the experience is sub par

We've done this cruise twice. It is ALL about the itinerary, which is amazing! The ship itself is very basic and outdated compared to the newer ships, but if you want to see Hawaii, this is a great option.

Not sure about the logic about you wanting 40% discount, but this ship doesn’t appeal to me as much as other NCL ships - however the itinerary looks worth any compromises with the ship and stands out from other Hawaiian itineraries I’ve seen
