Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of a seven day cruise on the Pride of America, focusing on its suitability for travelers wanting to experience multiple Hawaiian islands. They note that while the ship is smaller and lacks certain amenities like water slides, it features refurbished rooms, a large library, and various pools. The creators highlight the ship's atmosphere as being more traditional and less focused on nightlife compared to Caribbean cruises, noting that bars close early and there is no gambling allowed on board. They discuss the dining options, specifically praising the specialty restaurant Moderno for its Brazilian steakhouse style and the quality of the buffet and gluten free products. Regarding island excursions, the creators suggest renting a car at each port to explore independently, noting that the overnight stays in Maui and Kauai are particularly beneficial for seeing the islands. They conclude by recommending that travelers arrive on Oahu a few days before the cruise begins to avoid travel mishaps and to fully experience the different regions of the island.
