Pride of America receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the itinerary and the opportunity to see multiple Hawaiian islands in comfort. Service is generally friendly, but understaffing and inconsistent quality are recurring issues. Food and dining experiences are highly variable, with specialty restaurants receiving better feedback than main dining rooms. Entertainment and activities are often described as limited, especially compared to other cruise lines. Cabins are clean but can be small, and the ship, while older, is mostly well-maintained. Pricing is considered high, especially due to extra charges and surcharges. Excursions are a highlight for many, though some found them expensive or difficult to book. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, but crowds and limited open venues during reduced capacity sailings have been noted. Internet service is poor, and specialty services like the spa can be underwhelming. Overall, the cruise is recommended for those wanting to see Hawaii efficiently, but expectations should be managed regarding food, entertainment, and value.
