General Comments

Had read some really scary reviews of this cruise ship, but I had no complaints whatsoever! Our room steward, was very helpful, polite, friendly as were the servers, We had a blast the whole time we were there. The excursions were wonderful, the drivers always full of information about the island for the curious visitors. 99% of the help spoke to us and was friendly, always there with a smile and ready to serve. Room was clean, always had fresh towels and ice in the bucket. Didn't go in the pools or hot tubs so can't comment on those. Would definitely sail on this cruise again with no hesitation whatsoever!

    So pleased that you were able to overcome the negative reviews! Currently debating whether or not to do the same trip again in 2009 with more friends, so will be keeping an eye on all new reviews.

    We have a sail date of June 28th on the Pride of America around Hawaii and am looking for feedback on tours offered from the ship, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Although the ship offers quite a few, suggest you investigate 'Roberts Tours'. Cheaper. The on board presentation by the ship's personnel was pathetic and biased, trying to pressure you into booking with them. On Maui, we (two couples) hired a car and it was extremely good value. From memory, about $26 plus another $23 for insurance. Fuel wasn't too bad. Compare that to the cost of 4 of you taking an organised your... We purchased an excellent "Guide to the Hawaiian Islands" before we left NZ and that was invaluable.

    Wife and I did a bus tour on the Sunday, and it was $50 a head. Not bad, but had to wait several hours to get a coffee - at the macadamia nut farm - factory closed as it was Sunday and maintenance time, but cafe and shop open. The main advantage of the coach tour is the commentary.
