NCL - Pride of America

Interested to know what excursions you picked? We are exploring Kauai for the first time in August after our Aulani stay.

I've sailed on Pride Of America before for my wife and I's honeymoon. It was a great experience, I really enjoyed the cruise. The ship has since been refurbished and not sure what it was like but we really enjoyed the ship, the employees on the ship - most of whom are from the United States and the trip itself.

Did you book your shore excursions through NCL or through a 3rd party? For Hawaii we went with a 3rd party, I think we went with Roberts Hawaii which is a well known reputable company in Hawaii.

Hope you enjoy your cruise!

My Mom is in her mid 70's so I was afraid to push for to much. Here is what we have booked. We have booked some with NCL and some on our own. For example we are doing the 1/2 road to Hana with a private company, Magic of Maui. We are doing a pineapple plantation, Volcano National Park, and a glass bottom boat reef tour

In Kauai we are doing the hop on hop off bus on the first day, and then on the 2nd day we are chilling out. I got us a day pass at a resort. That will be our last day before we fly home and just wanted to relax.

To be honest, if I were to do it again, I would choose to stay at Aulani after I do everything else I am going to do while in Hawaii. Let's be honest, things just do not compare and I think next time I want to end at the best!
