Review Of NCL's Pride of America 7 Day Hawaiian Cruise
My first impression of The Pride of America was "this is great, we get champagne just for walking aboard". It was pretty cool. I am a big cruise ship enthusiast, and although this is a pretty standard service, it gets me every time. Anyways, we stayed in one of the suites on the 1100 deck, and it was beautiful, it looked over the sea and had its own balcony, as well as its own butler. We could contact our butler at all times (he had his own phone). The first night was in Honolulu, and we sailed all night until we arrived in Maui. The area we docked in was Kahului and it was in kind of an industrial area, but everything was only a shuttle away (a free one).
That night we ate at the skyline restaurant and got to meet Hero and James. They were our servers and they were fantastic! So charming and so on top of things. They were our servers all week long and they really made the difference for the ship. Unfortunately, one night we had Jose as our server... and to be honest, he was just rude. The service on the ship really varies. Some are great and some are absolutely atrocious. Sunday night was an overnight in Maui, and Monday night we sailed to Hilo, which was so-so. I did not think much of it, just rainy and overcast all day long. Wednesday we arrived in Kona, which, for being on the same island as Hilo, was delightful! So gorgeous, the whole area around where we docked was beautiful and very quaint. Thursday was my favorite of all, Kauai. We had heard so much about the Kalalau trail from James(our wonderful server), and since we are avid hikers, we gave it a whirl. SO beautiful, absolutely breath taking. Kauai was an overnight so we left around 5 o clock on Friday, to set sail to Honolulu.
Overall the cruise was great... the drinks were all a little over priced, but what do you expect. I would highly suggest the Pride of America 7 day cruise to anybody that is thinking about. The landscape of Hawaii is just too unrealistically gorgeous it would be a huge mistake to miss.
