Review summary

If you take this cruise remember its the destination not the ship. The ship is not good so don't expect much. Cruise staff is horrible. Not a friendly face in the bunch . We were warned before we left but I just couldn't believe NCL hired unfriendly people. But we saw for ourselves that this is true. Pick a different ship. You were warned.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food on this ship came out Luke warm or room temperature. Specialty restaurants were not great. Better to stick with the main dining room.

Oh my goodness. We are frequent cruisers and this was the first ship that had very unfriendly staff. No smiles...No how was your day...just seemed like they were doing us a favor being there.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
Very small room for a balcony room. Probably because it is an old ship but it was clean.

Ship tip

Pick another ship. This is the only ship that does Hawaii 7 days so if you are stuck make the best of it. If you can go longer pick another ship. Pride of America is old and worn and very unhappy unfriendly staff.

Oh No So sorry to hear this :( Hoping everything gets better soon as NCL gets more staff hired and trained. Also hoping more specialty dining opens soon for our upcoming cruise February 2023. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry your had such unfriendly cruise staff. That was not the case when we cruised on the Pride of America in 2018. The cruise director even greeted us by name. But aren't the islands just beautiful?!
