Pride of America Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great way to get from island to island but that was the best part. Food was ok. Service was fair. Room was good--a typical cabin but the balcony was awesome. I really liked being on the aft end. Honestly it was a very expensive vacation but it was a bucket-list one that we will remember forever!!

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

The ship was understaffed but other than closed venues you hardly noticed

Understaffed, restaurants, bars and other amenities closed. Not as we expected as a return NCL passenger. Most expensive cruise we have taken from NCL but we really did not enjoy the ship experience.

Bottom line - we paid a lot of money for a half-staffed cruise to the islands. Several places to eat were closed, other amenities found on other ships were closed. limited hours, entertainment lacking.

It was an amazing honeymoon. I had never been to Hawaii and its a great way to get an intro into the islands. I probably wouldn't do the cruise again now that I know which islands I want to visit again for more days. I'd be tempted to do the cruise again though when its back to 100% capacity or if they get a new ship. As most know about 1/2 the bars and restaurants are closed but it didn't ruin the good times!

Travel with 3 other couples and dined at all available locations. We were close to everything we needed. The guest services group were excellent. I would truly recommend this trip to anyone. It was great.

Would pass on this cruise - limited entertainment, poor serviced and food. Consider booking airfare, hotels and cars at the various islands instead.

Hawaii was great as always. This was our fourth trip to the islands. This was our first cruise around the islands and the NCL Pride of America was very disappointing.

Lots of little aggravations that in this day and age add up to much frustration.

We did same cruise before COVID. in comparison, this was disappointing

I can't say it enough. We were charged full price for a ship that was 60% functional. If I had ben given an option I would have postponed this trip. We had a good time, but felt cheated by the lack of functioning venues to enjoy when we were on the ship.

I thought the cruise was amazing. My ship was at 40% capacity. This was nice in many ways. It was low-key. There were no pushy upselling, no push to buy diamonds and attend hairy man chest contest. There were very few intercom announcements Although I like the party atmosphere of Carnival at times this cruise was all about the beauty of Hawaii and fine dining. The staff was wonderful. It was an experience of a life time and I am thankful I got to have it!

NCL not ready to sail with the POA. You pay for an NCL experience and with all the closures on the ship you don't get great value. This is one time it did not pay to go early. Ship was not crowed, but the ship did not provide. Since it was a "Lite" cruise it should have been a "Lite" price. Did not get what we paid for.

Weather was great, tour personal could NOT have been better, ship staff always made you feel welcome, the restaurants were good, and the entrainment had variety.

This being first cruise from Honolulu post-COVID displyed many challenges and opportunities.

Hawaii is beautiful. The ship is just okay. We didn’t have to wait at meals in spite of the number of passengers. The shows didn’t feel crowded

We are glad to have seen Hawaii for the first time but would not take another NCL cruise of the islands. Our time and money would be better spent staying in a resort with better accommodations and food.

The excursions in the islands that we visited off and outside of the ship were beautiful the overall ship experience was not. It is overrated. The staff were lazy, the food was lousy.

Hawaii is a beautiful place and the cruise allowed us to experience a little bit of all of Hawaii.
