We chose this cruise because we wanted to visit several of the Hawaiian islands and thought this would be a good option. We were happy with the ports however the cruise was very poor. The ship was not up to par. On 9 occasions we found the bathrooms (heads) disgusting. Several toilets were plugged and raw sewage was on the deck. On several occasions we did not received new towels nor was the ...
My husband and I did this much anticipated cruise to celebrate my 70th birthday. The itinerary was great. The islands are beautiful. The ship and some tours were another story. For a newly refurbished ship it was not in the best of shape. We had drawers in our extremely small stateroom that did not close, air conditioning that was not working properly and also had a problem with the toilet. ...
This was an amazing trip, sheer perfection from start to finish. Booked this trip back in July as it is the only ship in Hawaii that spends more time in port than on the sea. As first time cruisers on our first trip to Hawaii we wanted to see everything so when we came back we'd have an idea of what island(s) to spend our time on.
Let me start off by saying our cruise experience was probably ...
Chose this this cruise to celebrate our (and our friend's) 35th wedding anniversary and the best way to see Hawaii. Very pricey by comparison to the 13 previous cruises we've been on (primarily the Caribbean), about double for balcony cabins and almost equal to the aft suite we had for Alaska.
Getting through security at the terminal was ridiculous, you'd think it was the first time this has ...
This was our first cruise and on it we celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary. We had a balcony stateroom (10552) and would recommend this as it gave us a little more room, allowed fresh air in the room and was great to view the sights from. If we were recommending a stateroom though, we would probably suggest deck 8 or 9 as deck 10 has slightly restricted views due to the super-structure of ...
This was ore first cruise and our first time to Hawaii. NCL provided a memorable experience and was wonderful to work with the entire time. The cabin was clean and serviced daily by polite and friendly staff. We enjoyed The nightly entertainment and other on board activities such as lai making. There was a variety of entertainment options and the ones we attended were all very good. We purchased ...
Picked this cruise because I wanted my wife to experience being at sea in the middle of the ocean. Most cruises stay near land and the ocean a day or two from land is beautiful. Also I liked the idea of circling the Hawaii Islands.
The entertainment on the Grand Princes was very good and with a large ship there was quite a selection. The trivia contests were a lot of fun. Even if ship's company ...
We choose the Pride of America as it has the only Honolulu-Honolulu itinerary. We wanted lots of time on the islands without being at sea. We accomplished our goal of getting a sampling of the islands, but we were quite disappointed with the food. The buffet was convenient with easy access, but the food was mediocre. The wait staff in the main dining rooms were hurried and inattentive. While I ...
I don't agree with upgrading to a suite, this ship has very little time at sea, we were hardly on the ship, so if there was any place to save money it was on getting just an average room. There is not a lot of activities nor time to do them on this ship, it is just a vessel to get you to each island, we bought the soda package, but honestly hardly used it, would have made out better just ...
We chose this cruise as we wanted to visit Hawaii, we knew there were a lot of sea days but thought the rest would do us good. In fact, we became rather bored - it was ok going as you had the anticipation of the islands but once visited we just wanted to fly home. This wasn't helped by the rough seas and the cool weather as we neared SF again. The ship was ok although the public areas lacked ...
