Ship Reviews

Before this cruise, the only time we had sailed NCL was on chartered cruises with a music festival theme on Jewel Class ships. Our preferred Ocean cruise line is Celebrity. We wanted to take our 22 year old son to Hawaii as a college graduation celebration--he had not travelled with us since high school graduation as his interests are quite different from his 71 and 68 year old parents. We decided the 3 day pre-cruise tour on Oahu would be the best way to maximize our time there and take care of some of the planning for us. I knew our son was less likely to enjoy that portion, but figured he could entertain himself for a few days in Waikiki rather than join in with the tour group. We decided to fly in a day ahead to be able to adjust to the time change from the East Coast and it proved to be a wise decision. We had arranged airfare through NCL to get the buy one, get one "free" promotion and then upgraded to First Class to make the trip as pain free as possible. We flew from PHL to ORD (Chicago) and then to Honolulu on the Dreamliner via American (usually best connections out of PHL) which was preferable to the route through LAX they initially had us booked on. We did not request it, but the change was made before the flights were ticketed. We arrived in Honolulu at 3pm (8pm EST) on Tuesday before the cruise, none of the 3 of us slept much on the plane (or the night before with a 4:30 am wake up). We were able to get an Uber from the airport to the Hyatt Regency on Waikiki, although our driver was on both Lyft and Uber and mistakenly picked up the party who was trying to book through Lyft first, thinking it was us. He must make more $$ through Uber, because when he realized his mistake he made the other party get out of his vehicle and took us instead. With tip it was about $125 for an almost hour drive (traffic) to the hotel. Hotel check-in went smoothly--we opted to book a second room since NCL puts all occupants of the cabin booked in one room, regardless of category of cabin. We had booked a 2 bedroom, 2 bath suite since that is our minimum requirement when traveling with our son since he was about 12--he's always been a big boy (sofa beds don't cut it) with a totally different biorhythm than his parents, so his own bedroom and bath is a must. We also opted for an oceanfront room. His room was just as big with two queens, but his balcony overlooked a construction site and ours had an angled view of the heart of Waikiki Beach(right across from Duke's statue). We were on the 22nd floor, near the elevators and ice machine, around the corner from each other in the Diamond Head Tower. The rooms were due for renovation I am certain, as I did see photos of other rooms online that were more updated than ours. Signs of wear and tear were everywhere in both our rooms, but everything was operational except for the fridge in our son's room, nor could he order the one pay per view movie that was supposed to be included in the resort fee. The Japanese style toilet seat/bidet was also a nice option to have. The hotel is Korean owned and caters to a large Asian clientele. The hotel complex is connected by a couple of floors of shopping/Food/services on the ground floor and second floor--all open air. Restaurants are on the third floor, as well as the gym, self serve laundry and the pool area. The pool is pretty small for a "resort" but Waikiki is right across the street and they do have towels/chairs available to use for "free". We never made it to the beach but our son did, only to be told by one of the locals that a lot of sewage goes into the ocean there--that and the shells/coral along the bottom deterred him from venturing in to swim more than once. The bellman who delivered our luggage could not have been more friendly and helpful and the restaurant wait staff were also very nice. We had a quick dinner at the poolside location and were in bed by 8pm. We had early wake ups (the first day voluntarily since we were adjusting to be being 5 hours behind time at home) every day. One thing you should be prepared for is the cost of eating out in Hawaii, especially Waikiki. If we sat down in a restaurant, the minimum we spent on any meal was $125 for the three of us--more often closer to $200. Only lunch on the third day (embarkation day) was included in our pre-cruise tour, so we spent at least $1500 (not including Luau's) on just basic food for the entire trip. Makes you appreciate the food onboard the ship even more. But we sampled the local cuisine as much as we could--something my son had anticipated greatly. I think Zippy's (we ate there on the Hilo day on the cruise) was his favorite. We did have lunch at Duke's on Wednesday in Waikiki, but I was underwhelmed. The cruise tour began on Thursday. Connor opted to remain at the hotel. There were 5(!) buses of mostly senior citizens on them, so I was glad he did not join us--he would have been miserable. We were earlybirds (7:45 for an 8:15 meet), as usual, so were lucky to be assigned to the first bus with Mo (short for Maureen) as our guide/driver. She was originally from Michigan, but relocated to Hawaii 10 years ago. She loves her job and was a fountain of knowledge. She was a capable driver and knew how to please her audience with snacks, and was on-point on advice at each attraction she dropped us off at. We had a cooperative group for the most part and managed to stay on schedule. Be warned, if you are not accustomed to traveling in groups of 45 people on a bus, it is not for everyone. The first day included a drive to the North Shore, with a stop at Dole Plantation (tourist trap--mostly good for the restrooms and the pineapple whip) on the way to the Polynesian Cultural Centre which was the main event of the day. Only a few opted to stay for the Luau that evening--it made for a very long day and you MUST have pre-arranged transportation back to the hotel--it's a long way, even without traffic (and there is always traffic on Oahu); Uber would cost you an arm and a leg even if you could find one. Also, if you did not know, the PCC is run by the Mormons and mostly staffed by students at Brigham Young University in Hawaii located there. No alcohol is served in the PCC or at the Luau--so if you have visions of MaiTai's, only the alcohol free versions are available. We enjoyed our time there, but be warned it is a lot of walking and the sun is intense. You can rent a scooter fairly easily and there are plenty of shaded spots to escape the sun, but a hat/sunscreen/sunglasses/water are essential. Finally back to the hotel at 5:30 and we were pooped. Went to dinner at 7:00 and were asleep by 9:00. Up again on Friday, with an even earlier meet up at 6:45, to go to Pearl Harbor. Our son slept in again. We were there early to see the Flag Raise at 8:00 and to get on the stand-by list for the Arizona memorial. If you book the cruise tour do NOT book separate tickets/reservations for the Arizona. They figured out how to get around the "new" policies restricting group reservations, so even though it says it is not included in the cruise tour, in actuality it is. They just can't guarantee stand-by. It worked well for us--we got on the ferry to the Arizona at 9:00. It takes about 45 minutes, so there is ample time the rest of the morning to visit the other exhibits at the welcome center location (museums, submarine) before boarding the bus again to go to Ford Island and see "Mighty Mo" (USS Missouri) and the Aviation Museum. We opted to get a taxi back to the hotel since we had booked the Mauka Warriors Luau and had a pick up across the street from the hotel at 4 pm and the tour group would not get back until 4:30/5:00. We booked that Luau after getting to Waikiki (it showed up in my social media feed) since my son wanted to see the Samoan Fire Knife dance as part of the Luau experience. We found out after booking that they were not able to serve alcohol (probably due to citation for liquor license violations) but they refunded part of the admission price and invited you to BYOB. They offered round-trip transport for $30/person which was reasonable and the pick up location was convenient. It was a similar cost as the Old Lahaina Luau we were booked for on Maui. The food was not as good and served buffet style, but the show was much more entertaining for my son, especially. The third and final day of the cruise tour started again with an early pick up (6:45 on the bus again) and this time it was all 3 of us aboard. We drove along the Eastern portion of the island and had stops for a picture of the "Here to Eternity" beach and at Byodo Temple, which was much more picturesque than Dole Plantation, but again mostly for the restrooms. The main objective was Waikoloa Ranch for the tour of movie filming locations. The ranch is a working cattle ranch and there was a high school rodeo going on while we were there. The barbecue smelled marvelous, but we had pre-ordered box lunches (pretty good sandwiches/wraps) to eat at picnic tables under a tent after the tour on open air refitted school buses. We were dropped off at the cruise port about 2:30 for check-in. Luggage had been already picked up at the hotel and delivered separately, but some had carry-on baggage with them on the bus. Embarkation was quick for the most part. Having booked a suite, we were taken to a separate waiting area to be checked in and meet the concierge, Chris and our butler, Anthony to be escorted to our muster station to check-in and then to our stateroom, which had JUST been deemed ready. Our luggage was waiting for us and our stateroom attendant, Wensi (short for Wenceslao) came to introduce himself shortly after. All three were very helpful and accommodating with the few requests we had. Our refrigerator was later stocked with the 3 requested bottles of wine (we were given a form to select them at check in) and the soft drinks we preferred. There was a bottle of champagne already chilling. We got a tray of various "treats" and fresh fruit daily. I used the stateroom fridge for my medication without an issue, although the "official" policy is to store it in the ship's infirmary. Our stateroom was what we expected. You could tell the age of the ship by the telephone and ashtray in the partioned toilet in the primary bathroom. There were no AC outlets/USB's anywhere by the primary bed and maintenance had to tape the extension cord down on the rug to get power to my husband's CPAP machine on his preferred side of the bed. Distilled water was promised, but all we got was purified water for drinking that he used instead. Wensi was able to supply additional hangers. We did not get any towel animals, but we're over the novelty at this point in our cruising lives. Our sons room did have USB ports on the light sconces over his bed, so he was set, but if you have multiple devices, be warned that you may need to bring adapters to have additional charging options to be used simultaneously. My husband and I had one AC outlet each to use for multiple devices (iPhones, watches, AirPods, iPad, Kindle). We had a Nespresso machine we used just a couple of times. Anthony brought us coffee each morning at 7 am per our request. I ordered breakfast in the suite once when I had an excursion on my own. My husband and son had eaten at 5:15 at Cadillac diner (open at 4 am per our butler--it is supposed to be a 24hr operation but I doubt anyone is up between 12-4 and wanting something to eat in reality). We usually ate breakfast at Cagney's (our son only joined us twice), which was the best "perk" of booking a suite, in my opinion. The hostess recognized us from our very first meal (reserved dinner there the first night using the "included" 3-meal package for my husband and I) and we found the maitre D and the waitstaff there the best on the ship, including Jefferson's Bistro. Overall, the food was adequate and service was best in the Specialty restaurants (I don't consider "service" a factor in the buffet or grill locations). We ate lunch onboard 4 out of 7 days. Once in the buffet (while watching football in the Gold Rush saloon on day 1 in Maui), once in Cagney's (our son ate in the Buffet) and twice in the Cadillac Diner. My husband and son also ate at the Key West Grill after their fishing excursion on the final day in Kauai. Having experienced all of the same Specialty dining venues onboard NCL's Pearl, I knew what our favorites had been--I would have ranked them in this order, most to least favorite: Le Bistro, Cagney's, Moderno, Teppanyaki, East Meets West, O'Sheehans (Cadillac Diner on POA), LaCucina. I would say on POA that I would swap Cagney's and Jefferson's Bistro, then swap Moderno and Teppanyaki. We did not even try La Cucina. We skipped dinner one night for the Old Lahaina Luau on Maui and ate one night in the Skyline (there was a wait for Liberty) Main Dining room. That experience was NOT a pleasant one. Our waiter asked who would be drinking wine and removed the wine glasses for my husband and son, but never offered to get them an alternative beverage other than water. When he finally brought the bottle of wine I ordered (purchased above and beyond the beverage package), he stepped away from the table before opening the screw top and pouring my glass--it would have taken less than a minute. My husband did it instead and then was chastised when our waiter finally returned to do so. We have NEVER had a server correct us for doing what he should have done for us in the first place. It left a bad taste in our mouths for the remainder of the meal, which was mediocre at best--and again we had paid an upcharge for entrees on the menu from Cagney's. Plus our table was right next to the server's station and the clatter and chaos was jarring throughout. I made specialty restaurant reservations for the rest of the cruise, even though our "included" package only covered 6 meals, we paid for 9 more, which probably made NCL happy. This was the main factor that made us decide NOT to book future cruise credits, despite the promotion they aggressively marketed to us the entire cruise. I had only booked one excursion through NCL, the "Director's Cut" tour on the second day in Kauai--just to use the "included" $50 off one excursion, which they put on my husband's account. When we ended up cancelling the excursion for him and my son so they could go deep sea fishing instead, we "lost" that credit in the refund process, but I did not realize that until I reviewed our final invoice before disembarkation. I did not feel like arguing the point at that time--our concierge and butler probably would have made the adjustment if I had brought it up to them, but by that time our focus was on getting off the ship and their focus on the next group of passengers boarding later that day. For the most part, I felt comfortable booking excursions through other than NCL for this cruise. Our travel agent works with Shore Excursion Group. They didn't offer a lot of what we (I) was interested in booking, but we had booked a private tour "Highlights of Maui" for the first afternoon there. As it turned out, my husband and son were more interested in watching the football game that started at 11:30am (our team was playing in the Wild Card round) than going on an excursion from 12:30-5:00. Plus the vendor was not as accommodating as I had hoped about dropping us off in Lahaina at the Luau I had booked for 5:15 that evening and stated it would be a $75 additional charge to do so and could not offer return transportation for us. So, I cancelled despite it being non-refundable and booked Happi Taxi. The driver was a hoot of a guy and well worth the cost; he gave us a narrated tour, including the recovering parts of Lahaina, rather than just a taxi ride there and back. Old Lahaina Luau was an upscale, authentic experience in a lovely setting along the water. The dancing/show was Hawaiian through and through, but not as "exciting" or humorous as the Mauka Warrior Luau show had been. The food was plentiful and flavorful and brought to our table; beverages were free flowing and unlimited--you could certainly overindulge if so inclined. We got souvenir photos and some carved wood knick knacks from the vendors (extra) as well as our second flower lei for the same price as the Luau offered by the ship, without the masses of humanity from the POA accompanying us. Although we missed the Polynesian show on board that night, I liked doing something the rest of the ship's passengers were not. The second day in Maui we had booked a rental car through Enterprise. I had some concerns since I heard they had not been able to supply cars for some long standing reservations over the Christmas/New Year holiday period, but they did have a minivan available for our use, at a discounted price, when we picked up the car. We were also the only people there when they opened on that second day, most from the ship having picked up cars the previous day. It IS a long walk from the ship to the Enterprise office, despite being "across the street" from the port entrance. Probably about 3/4 mile, so beware if you have mobility issues. There are taxis available closer to the ship, but they'd rather take you a further distance if given a choice. We drove back to Lahaina to go on the "Eye Level" Whale Watching excursion I had booked through Viatour. I wanted to go out of Lahaina, despite it still recovering from the effects of the August 2023 fire, because that is where the main humpback whale sanctuary is, and I also wanted a small boat/group. It was a well-organized operation with laid-back, knowledgeable crew. The zodiac like boat was equipped with pommel horse type seats in the middle you straddled with a handle to hold onto in front of you. Getting on the boat from the dock was a bit of a jump down and a little more difficult getting off back on to the dock, but we managed. If you sat in the front two seats you actually got relatively less sea spray than sitting in the rear, but you have to expect to get wet. We were prepared with ponchos, but the company did have ponchos (water resistant cloth, not cheap plastic) you could borrow if you did not have one. Hats with chin straps are also a must since only the pilot of the boat was under cover. Surface behaviors and lots of whales are pretty much guaranteed in January in that area of Hawaii and we saw a good bit in the 2 hours spent on the water. We did not manage to get any good photos, however, you have to be super quick. Winter is also high surf season, and our ride was choppy for sure--my husband was quite sore after the rough ride but we did not get seasick--if you are prone to that this would not be for you. I found it quite fun. My husband did not want to drive the rental car very much, so we returned it and went straight back to the ship for an "included" lunch onboard rather than exploring Maui's food truck scene as I had originally planned to do. Our travel agent had recommended Mama's Fish House, about a 20 minute ride from the ship, but I had passed on making reservations (months in advance) which are an absolute MUST if you want to go there. It's quite expensive as well. The next day in Hilo, our nephew met us at the port and took us to the top of Mauna Kea to where he works at the Keck Observatory. We had to bring along our warmest clothing and take time to acclimate to the altitude as we ascended, but it was an out of the box experience we were privileged to have an insider's insight into. I think our son enjoyed that the most, as well as the lunch we had after at Zippy's--the quintessential Hawaiian diner he had heard about. It was our nephew's first time dining at a Zippy's, despite living on the island for over 10 years on and off. We expected to meet him again in Kona the next day, where we had a deep sea fishing charter booked for 5 of us (his wife would join us--she was working the first day and their 4 children were in school both days), but the weather gods were not kind to us and the winds/seas were too high to tender at that port. The down side of not booking excursions through NCL is if you miss a port, you run the risk of no refund from the vendor. We opted to have our nephew and his wife take a couple of friends and use the charter anyway. They had a pretty bumpy 4 hour boat ride and caught just one fish, but it was a good one! Our son was very disappointed since the deep sea fishing was his main objective for the trip. The Concierge, Chris, was able to put us in touch with Ohana Fishing charter for the second day in Kauai so my husband and son could get a second chance--but it turns out that the boat only caught one fish that day as well, and it was another bumpy ride. So winter may be great for whale watching, but not so much for deep sea fishing in Hawaii. The Captain was very apologetic about missing Kona and the alternate sailing took us past the Molokini crater (not really much to see, other than whales again) around lunchtime, and along Cliffs of Molokai in the afternoon. We enjoyed the use of our balcony early in the day (not in direct sun) and could listen to the brief narration on the TV in the stateroom. For the most part, when everyone is aboard, public spaces in the ship get too crowded for our liking. We liked it being on the ship when the majority of people were ashore, like the first day in Maui and the first evening/second afternoon in Kauai. Otherwise the poolside grill/deck and Pink's Champagne bar were too crowded to get a seat. We only went to see the comedian on his later (18+) show on the third night and never got to the Mardi Gras Lounge at all. The guitar player/singer was pretty good and the Wave band were also good the one time we heard each of them. We wanted to hear the Piano player/singer do the Billy Joel tribute, but there were no seats to be had. We did not do any trivia, other than the written sheets they had in Pink's everyday; our son also picked up the daily Sudoku one morning when we went to Cagney's for breakfast. When the Maitre D saw him doing it, he came over and offered him a hand held puzzle to work on (then showed him the solution). He also made me an origami butterfly out of a dollar bill the last day we were there. To be honest, we (especially me) were so tired most evenings we were in bed by 9pm, getting up by 6:30 at the latest. Finally in Kauai I had booked Jack Harter Helicopters for Thursday morning at 9:45-10-45. I chose that company because it was the only one who offered a shuttle to pick you up at the port. If you rent a car on Kauai, all of the rental companies are at the airport as well, so you have to take a taxi (available at the port building entrance) although I THINK enterprise does have a shuttle if you make a reservation with them. Originally I had booked a doors-on traditional helicopter. My husband and I had done one on the Big Island about 10 years ago and the three of us had done one in Alaska about 12 years ago. Then in November, they called and said those helicopters would be out of service on the date of our reservation for scheduled maintenance. So, I switched to the doors off helicopter. It was a bit more exhilirating--my husband and I were white-knuckling it for certain during what we perceived as air turbulence but our pilot stayed calm and cool throughout and didn't interrupt his knowledgeable narration of what we were seeing. The weather cooperated, but it was on the cool side up in the air--we dressed accordingly. Kauai is a beautiful, lush island with many waterfalls and we saw many sights that are only accessible by air. Well worth the cost. NCL did not offer any helicopter tour options. If you are interested in the most plush experience, I heard Blue Hawaiian is the company to go with, but we were very satisfied with Jack Harter. I also heard the mid to late morning hours are the least likely to get cancelled due to weather conditions. I booked for the first day just in case we needed to rebook the second day, but it worked out well. We spent the afternoon on the boat while many were headed to the Luau site for the afternoon/evening. The second day on Kauai was an extra early start for my husband and son to meet the Ohana Fishing charter on the next pier over. They got the final go ahead from the Ohana captain about 5:50 am while at breakfast in the Cadillac Diner and then made the 15-20 minute walk (too short for a taxi) to the boat. They had a pretty bumpy 6 hours boat ride with only one passenger (not them) catching a 15 lb Tuna (not Ahi, another species) but did see some--you guessed it--whales. They were happy to have had the chance--that's why they call it fishing, not catching. We packed our bags that afternoon to have the evening free, but ended up turning in early again after being up so early. Disembarkation was smooth--although one of our son's bags got put in the "unidentified" pile because his tag had come off the handle that had been broken in the transfer from the hotel to the ship. We learned not to put tags on that handle again. We were on our pre-paid transfer bus to the airport by 8:15 and dropped at the airport by 8:30--much shorter ride early on a Saturday morning than when we arrived on a Tuesday afternoon. Unfortunately, no one tells you that the American check-in counter doesn't open until 10:00am and that you can only check your bags in 6 hours prior to your flight. We were okay since our flight was at 2:15 originally, delayed to 2:35 but some folks did not have flights until the evening and were trying to check their bags to do something on their own for the rest of the day. I'm not certain if it was the same for other airlines. There is essentially one terminal for Hawaiian Air and another terminal for the rest of the US airlines, so just two stops for the transfer busses. Everyone has to clear agriculture inspection prior to checking their bags, so don't pack any fruit or unpackaged food. They did miss some in the inspection, but I saw plenty of fruit getting confiscated. Our flight back was uneventful, despite a tight connection through LAX, we arrived on time, with all of our luggage although lacking sleep on a Red Eye flight at 7:00 am EST the next day to a snowy PHL. Luckily we had family to pick us up and don't live far from the airport. Overall, I think it was a great way to see as much of Hawaii as possible in one trip. It was not cheap. I do not plan to add up every receipt for the total cost of the trip. We paid most of it ahead of time, so it was spread out making less sticker shock. There is a chance we'll get some of the Transient Tax the cruise lines are fighting in court refunded, but I won't hold my breath. We did not make the most cost conscious choices we could have knowingly--life is too short. For the most part we got the vacation experience we expected. There are some things you can't control like the weather/sailing conditions. Overall, NCL offers a product that no other cruise line does in Hawaii. Otherwise, I would say NCL is not our preferred ocean cruise line. They will be offering cruises out of Philadelphia starting this Spring (although I am skeptical they will make that deadline--the terminal is just breaking ground now) so we may cruise those itineraries if they appeal to us in 2027 or beyond. Another Sixthman music charter is a possibility in the future as well.

Though super expensive, the Pride was perfect as an upscale floating hotel. Unpack once for the entire week and see 3 islands. (We arrived a couple of days ahead and stayed in Waikiki, too.) Our balcony room was fine, lots of storage places, decent balcony space, typical small size, king bed. We ate breakfasts and dinners almost exclusively in the MDR and found the food to be very high quality. We didn't get a drinks' package but drank when we wanted which cost less than package. Free juices and ice in the buffet. We liked the size of the smaller ship as it was easier to get around. Heard some decent live jazz (solo singer/pianist not great though). Staff was terrific from everyone we dealt with. Excursions super-expensive, so we rented cars on each island and had time to explore what we wanted to. Cell service available in each port.
