YouTube Video Description

It's embarkation day for the Norwegian Cruise Line Pride of America seven day Hawaiian Island Cruise and we are getting on board. We got the priority access, so we board the ship before the main boarding call and get to explore the ship a little. We get information about the Drink Package that is included with NCL bookings and sign up for some wine tasting. We go to the Aloha Cafe Buffet for lunch before taking the introductory ship tour with DJ Hub. We then check the kids in at the Entourage Teen club and check out the video arcade. We then get to check into our Pride of America inside stateroom and then do some relaxing at the pool. Then it's time to set sail and we check out the Sail Away party on the lido deck. We finish up with dinner in the Skyline Main Dining room which turns out to be a disaster. Leave a comment to let us know if you've ever experienced bad food and/or terrible service in a cruise ship main dining room.
