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.
We stayed pre- cruise at the Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort and post - cruise at the Kaimana beach resort. Cars rented at every port, and no excursions. Must see attractions: Maui- Haleakala, and Road to Hana, Hawaii- Volcanoes National Park, Kauai- Waimea Canyon, various waterfalls, Na Pali Coast, and Hanalei. Pride of America is a wonderful ship and some of the friendliest cruise team members of any ship we’ve sailed. Pride of America is 15+ years old but has been recently refurbished. Public spaces are clean and updated. Nothing is out of place and not a picture tilted. We were in a large accessible Penthouse suite cabin which had lots of room, plenty of storage, and a large accessible bathroom with roll- in shower. The cabin had a king bed with feather pillows, a large comfortable sofa, a table , and 2 arm chairs, while the huge balcony had a table and 4 chairs, along with 2 chaise lounges. We ate twice in the Liberty dining room ( with a group) on the first evening and the last evening. The worst MDR of any cruise ship we’ve been on (15+ cruises) . Quality and flavor of food was poor , portions small and service mediocre. In fact, we ordered a scallops appetizer one night, and the 5 scallops were literally each the size of a dime. Specialty restaurants were very good: Cagney’s excellent ( dinner twice, plus breakfast and lunch for suite guests), Jefferson’s Bistro very good, La Cucina very good ( dinner twice including an excellent steak). Food quality, portions, and service very good to excellent at those restaurants. We ate at Cadillac Diner for lunch and the All American Hamburger and fries were delicious. Service very good. We did not try the buffet, but it was rarely full, except on Day 1, embarkation. Production shows in the Hollywood theater were good, especially the Polynesian show, and the Welcome aboard show. Comedian was funny, and the ship’s band good. They played a mix of Hawaiian and popular music. One night they did a Motown tribute show that was good. There was even a lei making class a couple of times different days. Keep your eyes on the Cruise Dailies for details and times of all the restaurants, bars, entertainment and special events. This ship is on the smaller side of current cruise ships at 81,000 tons and 2600 passengers, so it does not seem nearly as crowded as the mega ships, except around dinner time, when everyone is packed around elevators and afraid to use the stairs. Also some crowds in the mornings on deck 3 waiting to get off the ship. Entertainment is more sparse than on the mega ships, but everyone seemed worn out from shore days, every day, so even the production shows were not sold out. Shopping is good with several shops on deck 5, including the most unique and largest jewelry store I’ve ever seen on a ship, the oldest jewelry store in Hawaii, Na Hoku. There are some beautiful, handmade creations there. Pride of America fulfills its purpose of being a floating resort hotel to take you on a tour of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands. Definitely highly recommend.
She is an older ship, as other's have noted, but the cruise experience was great. Perfect way to experience the Hawaiian islands. The food and food service was top notch, as well as the food service staff. We rented a car on each island and did our own exploring using the GuideAlong app (highly recommend this app). However, doing it on your own takes some preparation and research..... This is not a ship, nor a trip, for kids. No water slides, climbing walls, etc., and there were very few kids on board. There is not a casino if that is important to you. Onboard activities were pretty typical. There was always something available if you opted to stay on the ship. One thing that was different because this was Hawaii is that there were no "days at sea" as all of the traveling from island to island took place at night.
