Creator's Key Takeaways
The Pride of America is the only large cruise ship sailing roundtrip in Hawaii year-round, giving you the chance to see four islands in seven days without the hassle of flights and hotels.
Everything was clean. The paint was fresh. You even, you know, the lacquer on the wood was clear. There was no debris everywhere. This ship looks really good after the dry dock.
If you've never been on NCL, do not make this your first cruise. This cruise is not the typical NCL experience.
If you've been on other cruises before or NCL cruises before and you're comfortable with that experience, big big yes. Definite yes. Exceeded my expectations.
