Poor, Poor Presentation

Review for Pride of America to Hawaii

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Never, Never, Never use Norwegian unless you want poor service and sub-standard food. PS. We have cruised: NCL, Royal, Holland, Celebrity, MSC, Viking, and Princess in the past 20 years. Checkin is horrible; 1.5 hrs on two lines. First was security, and then checkin, where we had to do the exact same things we did online. Food = substandard, with Buffet food looking good but tasting weird. ...

Loved back to back cruises on Spirit

Review for Norwegian Spirit to Hawaii

6-10 Cruises • Age 60s

After thoroughly enjoying a New York to Bermuda cruise on NCL, we were hooked. Plans for a second cruise fell through so I was looking for our next opportunity. We were going to visit our daughter in Australia and decided to take the long way home. I saw a back to back cruise from Sydney to Tahiti and then Tahiti to Honolulu and booked it to experience the South Pacific — a place I dreamed about ...

3rd and last Norwegian cruise

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We choose this cruise for the itinerary and because our previous experiences on Norwegian had been good. Previously we had booked balcony cabins but since we brought our kids and grandkids we booked 2 ocean view cabins. I expected a tight cabin but I didn't expect such poor room service. The room was only serviced once a day, usually after lunch. We got fresh towels and the beds were straightened, ...

My wife and I sailed on Royal Princess Cruise 15 Nights to Hawaii from San Francisco (27 Mar – 11 Apr) I am Elite Captain’s Circle Member. Our Cabin Steward was excellent Elizalde. Also special praise for Mr Xavier (Guest Service Director) who was extremely helpful with a major issue I had with the Coffee Card/Elite Benefits. Let me start by saying that Royal Princess Cruise Ship is ...

Gluten Free cruising information for Pride of America

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

Since I didn't find much information for Gluten free travelers prior to the cruise I thought I would add some here. Arriving at the cabin we found letters addressed to each of us stating that they knew about our dietary restrictions and left a number to call if we needed assistance. Sounds good - but it took several days calling to get through to the number and was told it had been assigned to ...

Worst.Cruise.Ever.

6-10 Cruises • Age 50s

This experience was the worse and was the opposite of a vacation. It started with how NCL booked our flights at 5AM from the west coast and split us from our adult kids. One of them is disabled and we asked NCL if we could switch one parent onto the flight and move our other child. That was a no. Thankfully the airline was fantastic and provided an escort service. We thought it would be better ...

A Good Way to Visit the Islands

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

We, two couples, selected this cruise because of the itinerary, to see the islands. Also, we decided to go with the 3-day tour package in Honolulu up front. NCL was the only cruise line to offer that format, without sailing from the west coast. I read all the reviews in advance, so no surprises about the ship experience. I knew going in that staff shortages and cost cutting affected the ...

Entertainment was hit and miss. More misses. The Hawaiian couple were very talented. Not only performing each day but even teaching ukulele and hula to passengers with a presentation at the end. The ship singers and dancers performed 2 shows over a 15 day cruise, really? The other nights were comedians, magicians, and game shows. The destination and subject matter speakers were good, even if ...

Best way To see all the islands. Booked a hotel in Waikiki for 3 days prior and saw that island . Once on Board , was pleased with both embarkation and disembarkation. Smooth smooth smooth. Main Dining was top notch and with a balcony room, free internet and two specialty dining options it was a great food experience. The whole sign the slip thing for a drink was a pain but it worked. Two ...
