Review summary

The NCL Pride of America is a popular choice for Hawaiian cruises, offering an excellent itinerary that visits multiple islands, allowing guests to explore the unique beauty of Hawaii without frequent unpacking. Here’s a quick review based on your experience: Pros: Perfect Itinerary: Covers the major Hawaiian islands, including Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island, with plenty of time to explore onshore. Convenience: Embarking in Honolulu simplifies travel logistics. Hawaiian Ambiance: The onboard decor and activities reflect the local culture, enhancing the experience. Good Overall Service: Friendly staff and smooth operations. Cons: Outdated Rooms: The cabins might feel dated compared to newer ships, but they're still functional and clean. Limited Luxury Feel: It’s not a flashy cruise but more about the destinations. Overall: A solid choice for exploring Hawaii, with the itinerary being the standout feature. Updating the staterooms would make it an even better experience. Would you sail again on it?
