Pride of America - Reviews

Probably the worst cruise I've been on. I was warned with previous reviews so I knew to just treat it like a floating hotel. We had a few issues ( over booking a restaurant, plastic in ice cream, no room cleaned one day) but the staff bent over backwards to try and fix things. They did not stop in Kona which was disappointing as we were not told until it was too late to cancel rentals or change plans in Hilo. It was by far the most expensive cruise we have been on. The food is cafeteria quality for the most part. You are going for the islands and it's an easy way to see them without wasting time at airports and unpacking every few days.

After reading so many bad reviews we were worried. It could not have been a better cruise. I have taken 10 cruises with Carnival and 1 with Royal Caribbean. This was not my first cruise! The ship is smaller than some which makes it a better experience. No crowds. Every staff person we met was friendly. We talked to the restaurant manager to express our

Great way to see Hawaii. The ship was fine, nothing special. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Cruise is a great way to see the islands. Eat at the specialty restaurants.

I've always wanted to do this island hopping cruise. I expected to be delighted and amazed, and the ship's management did not disappoint. In my conversations with the Hotel Director and the Food and Beverage Director, I know they're aware of the challenges/complaints I pointed out. Nevertheless, this was a relaxing cruise and I'm happy I did it.

Besides the very disappointing cabin, the cruise, entertainment food etc. were great. Just hated to pay for an "Ocean-view" cabin and get what we got.............Could have booked an inside cabin and saved some $$$$$

I loved the itinerary of this cruise. Boat, personnel, entertainment and food all wonderful.

If you have never seen Hawaii, there is no better way to experience the islands. Good was much better than expected.

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

Very Good Experience. Pride of America ridden hard with weekly cruise schedule but overall crew did a good job in all aspects.

The ship was clean. Service was excellent. Up-charge restaurants not worth it as much as other Nowegian cruises I have been on. Entertainment not as good as other cruises I have been on.

We had a great time, the staff was super friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. The food was good with the French restaurant being exceptional! The ports that we stopped at were very good and the scenery was exceptional! Would recommend this trip to friends and family.

Great time the ship is a little out dated. Embarking process needs a big update to catch up with other cruise lines. The pictures packages and digital pictures process is far behind other cruise lines as well. Not a part ship at all every thing closes down by 10:30. Entertainment was fair, seen better. The food was great but not happy about all the locations that were NOT included with the cost of the cruise. Very few waiters had to go to the bard to get drinks every time. Drink packages are VERY expensive and they don't push drinks because of the packages assume that is why there are very few waiters around.

The ship and staff were amazing. The website is slow and unresponsive. They even filed a ticket about the problems I was having but never followed up with me. I am now dealing with the fact that I was charged for an excursion I didn't book. I brought it to their attention before the cruise and instead of refunding the money they charged me twice. It is a nightmare to the tune of $1678.15.

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

Fantastic, viewing all the islands was breathtaking views Paradise for sure, experience it, live it, you only live once so go for the gusto, do it. Best way to see all the islands the affordable way and the overnight docking was a real treat because you are not rushed getting back on board, at ease and true relaxing island enjoyment ! Our cruise agent Kudos to her for a wonderful job Ariana King you rock, Mahalo

We had a wonderful time and felt well at ease to do anything we wonted. Your crew is well trained and very interactive.

Great Vacation, The crew did all they could to make it a great time. Even though the weather kept us from going to Maui the crew made change to the activities. The only thing I would like to see changed is the price on the drink package, I think $99.00 + 20% per day is to much.

everything was great, will be taking another cruise in a year

A must do cruise! You need to do this while you can physically climb Diamond Head in Oahu and enjoy hiking to waterfalls!
