Pride of America Cruise Reviews - Reviews

A great trip. One of the best cruises my wife and I have ever taken.

We will be talking about this 7 day period of our life, form now on.

Ship had limited things to do and lacked cultural events about Hawaii. Staff and food were excellent, friendly and helpful. Frustrating that we signed up for reservations for dinner beforehand, then they were cancelled and we had to rebook on ship.

Loved the comfort of the ship and all the specialty restaurants. The Mardi Gras lounge was fun. My

Overall this cruise was very disappointing. Rooms are small! Food is at best just ok. It’s difficult to find coffee because they don’t provide it in room. Speciality dining was the best option. Getting on and off ship is chaotic, especially if you rent a car. Wait staff tried, but it seemed like they were understaffed and inexperienced. Pools are small. Cleaning staff did a good job.

Pricey, but if you want to experience all of Hawaii, this is a great and leisurely way to do it. We don't cruise much so the cruise experience was above average for us and we thought the crew did a tremendous job taking care of everyone. Would have enjoyed a little more nightly entertainment options and variety, but the cruise is really about the ports of call so understand the limits here.

Cruise was fine, but several restaurants were closed making it a long wait at some to be served. Specialty restaurants were great. There were staff shortages which also played a part in long waits in dining. Was disappointed that all restaurants were not open and for this reason felt like we were not served as well as we should have been for the price payed for this cruise.

Great cruise, small ship but nice staff and great food, some limited dining and entertainment due to limited capacity. Hawaii was the most beautiful place I have ever visited.

I am a frequent cruiser with NCL. This was the Worst cruise I have ever been on and the overpriced.

This was our 11th cruise and definitely the worst due to awful entertainment and the wait staff.

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.

NCL needs to do better with this cruise. This trip should be OVER THE TOP. ONE OF A KIND. Spend some money and get this ship up to date. If it were not for the Islands I would have hated my time on the ship.

The cruise was disappointing. Glad we went but would not go on a cruise here again. Would plan time at each island and fly to the destinations/Islands, rent a car, see what I want.

As noted about, we were very disappointed with Norwegian. We understand staffing is an issue but when we paid extra for some amenities and didn't get them we were vary disappointed.

This was supposed to be a once in a lifetime Bucket List trip. On any other cruise line it probably would have been. We were informed (11 days prior to departure) that they would be limiting services onboard (specialty restaurants closed, dining room only open for dinner, etc.) with not indication of re-imbursement for reduced services. When I inquired about this with guest services onboard, I was put off by the manager and told no offers would be made. You can see by my comments above, how the cruise turned out.

The cruise was amazing. Getting home was a nightmare. Will book my own flight next time and not go through the cruise line.

Booked my cruise through , NCL and worked well together. Cruise met and exceeded my expectations.

There are other cruises that are more enjoyable and a better value for the money than cruising Hawaii. But this is perhaps the only way to see the spectacular Napali coastline; be sure to get a balcony on port side so you can view it from your room rather than standing at the rail for an hour.

Was a great cruise with friends. Unfortunately all of the restaurants weren’t open so not a great selection.

Very nice but expensive cruise (our 11th cruise, 3rd with NCL). We booked through and did not get the drink package. Pros: Every port had easy access to doing things on your own, either renting a car, a nice beach close by, or interesting stuff within walking distance. Food was a definite improvement over Carnival. All of the ports had easy wifi/internet (we use T-mobile) so no need for the internet package. Cons: The price! Even the cheapest inside cabin ran about 5-6k when you include everything. That's in addition to the airfare to get over to Honolulu. Our ship was only half full, which meant that there were many venues closed. I would have liked to eat breakfast in the MDR occasionally.
