Hawaiian Cruise Reviews

When you think of Hawaii, you have to think of Norwegian Cruise Line and its premiere cruise ship – the Pride of Aloha.  For a reasonable price, this amazing Hawaii cruise package includes an amazing seven-day island cruise, roundtrip from Honolulu to four ports of call on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii.  

The Pride of Aloha is one of the best Hawaii cruise ships giving you complete autonomy with its Freestyle Cruising along with an abundance of amenities, accommodations, dining options and activities. With so much to offer onboard and more time in port than several other Hawaii cruise ships, the Pride of Aloha provides the best way to discover the Hawaiian Islands. 

Pride of Aloha Review – The Best Hawaii Cruise Package 

This Hawaii cruise ship’s decor is quite impressive – you’ll love the vivid colors, large sculptures and enormous frescoes depicting Hawaiian history and culture. When you step inside the three-story atrium, you’ll be awed by the Gauguin-inspired murals and tiles painted with Hawaiian designs.  

This Hawaiian cruise ship has two main dining rooms serving sumptuous meals: the Palace and Crossings – one is always open for breakfast, lunch (on most days), and dinner from 5:30 to 10 p.m. The wait staff is always gracious, but never officious – they respect your right to dine when, where, and however you please. 

As one of the best Hawaii Cruise ships, the Pride of Aloha boasts three boutique restaurants. Italian food lovers will savor the wonderful dishes at Kahili.  If you’d prefer Asian food, then Pacific Heights is your restaurant; the sushi here is incredible.  The Royal Palm Bistro, the most romantic restaurant onboard, serves a mean chocolate fondue. 
 
To learn more about Hawaii, passengers may visit the Kumu Cultural Center and view such exhibits as Hawaiian quilts, surfing paraphernalia, and ukuleles. This is the best way to learn Hawaiian history including its volcanic origins and Polynesian settlers.

 
The best onboard entertainment is the spectacular shows given by Mother Nature. On Tuesday afternoon, the ship cruises along the velvety green cliffs of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast. On Wednesday, Pride of Aloha takes cruises by Kilauea volcano on the Big Island. Waitresses serve glow-in-the-dark Hawaiian "lava flow" drinks to passengers assembled on the outside to watch the fierce red-hot lava flow down the mountain.

 
And Pride of Aloha’s shore excursion program as exceptional as any other NCL Hawaii cruise ship. You’ll find hundreds of offerings covering the designated Hawaiian Islands ranging from calm strolls to daredevil parasailing.  

Onboard, the Body Waves Fitness Center is open 24 hours a day, allowing you to prepare for your adventuresome Hawaiian land excursions. There is an excellent selection of treadmills, weight machines and exercise bicycles, and a studio next door which offers yoga, spinning and aerobics classes.  

For an excellent Hawaiian adventure, take a wonderful cruise aboard the Pride of Aloha or any other NCL Hawaii cruise ships.
