Cruising Hawaii Year-Round
As the only U.S. flagged cruise ship, Pride of America sails year round from Honolulu, giving you the freedom and flexibility to holiday on your timetable . Visit four Hawaiian Islands and five ports in seven days whilst you cruise through paradise in style.
This cruise was top notch all around. I have been on nineteen cruises around the world, and this is one of the best yet. Embarkation in Honolulu was smooth and had absolutely no lines when we arrive around 12:30 PM. STATEROOM: Cabin Balcony The room was in a very convenient location right by the elevators. Despite being close the all the amenities, the room was very quiet. The room was clean but could use an update within the next few years. The balcony had nice views. DINING: As always, NCL provides good dining throughout the ship. We only used the buffet one time and it was acceptable. The main dining room and all the specialty restaurants were high quality and delicious. I have seen a lot of reviews talking about downgraded food on NCL but we have yet to see it. Everything was near perfect. SERVICE: The Pride of America is mostly an American staff. Everyone from start to finish were very helpful and provided excellent service. ENTERTAINMENT: This ship does not have a production cast so there are no production shows like on other NCL ships. With that being said there are shows every night in the theater. The first show is the welcome aboard show that lays out what to expect. Throughout the week there was a Polynesian show, multiple magicians and a comedian. The entertainment was wonderful and it is what I have come to expect on NCL. SHIP: The ship is one of the oldest in the fleet but it does seem to be in great shape. It has been refurbished recently and did not show its age. If you enjoy NCLs smaller ships like the PEARL, JEWEL, JADE, GEM, etc. you will enjoy The Pride of America. ITINERARY: The Hawaiian Islands are extraordinary. MAUI: In Maui we took a bus to the Haleakala National Park summit. This ride to 10000' is not for someone that can't handle motion or heights. It is multiple hours of hairpin turns. If you can handle the ride the summit is spectacular. We also did Turtles and Tacos. This was an excursion on a catamaran to a snorkeling spot that has turtles that frequent the area. We did see multiple turtles and the area is very nice for snorkeling. On the way back we saw multiple Humpback whales and had tacos. These excursions pick up right at the cruise terminal. Very little walking necessary. HILO: This is one of two stops on the big island that you can visit Volcanoes National Park. We took a bus to the park and had around an hour to visit. The volcano is currently active and we saw some lava. This excursion picks up right at the cruise terminal. Very little walking necessary. KONA: We did the Zodiac Whale Watch. We have been whale watching many times, but this is the first time taking a Zodiac boat. We saw many whales and had a great time. It is around three hours long and your back and butt get pretty uncomfortable by the end. It picks up right where the tender boats from the ship drop you off. Very little walking necessary. KAUAI: We did the journey to Waimea Canyon. This excursion also involves a good amount of motion in a bus to the top. They call this the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" and it was stunning. Highly recommend a visit. This excursion picks up right at the port and does not involve a lot of walking. We will definitely do this cruise again in the future and recommend it to anyone that is looking to see the Hawaii islands.
We were orignally going to travel via plane to each of the islands but saw this cruise and decided it was an easier and cheaper option to go where we wanted to go. The poor reviews are unfair considering the price per night for this cruise. It's not luxurious but it's cheap and the staff are good if not great. The ship is clean and the food good but not amazing - but again; for the price it is very good. It is a great way to see the islands of Hawaii and I would recommend it to people who wish to do that. If you want a luxury cruise then go on another cruise and pay double or triple the price. The drink package is amazing for people who drink - we had that package even though we rarely drink - but it was great to try a difreent wine with dinner each night and I had a couple of martinis on the cruise that were also great. The gym was well equiped and we used it every day. Staff in the gym are disinterested and hygene levels not great but if you are used to doing your own thing in a gym that won't worry you. We like trivia and games and thought that part of the criose was great. The staff who organised these were very entertaining.
