Norwegian Cruise Line - Pride of Hawaii Reviews

First of all, we were told that we could eat whenever we wanted--thats simply not true--there are periods were nothing was available.  We expected some typical Hawaiian entertainment, we received a fifties night, a disco night-- and a disc jockey who played rap and danced on stage by himself-- his audience at the time was an older crowd who bascially said it was noise.  When we went on the excursions--the drivers were expecting tips--one even said that was the way they made a living-- no mention of this anywhere in promotions.  Then we found out that the drivers were given a "script" which had...

We went on the cruise for our honeymoon.  The cruise was just average.  I went on 2 other cruises and with comparison would prefer going on Carnival again over Norwegian.  My husband and I had a honeymoon package and they forgot a lot of the amenities, in which we had to remind them.  We were suppose to get champagne and strawberries delivered and waiting for our arrival....after daily reminders we got it our 3rd night.  On formal night we were suppose to receive hor'dervs and once again we had to remind them.  The freestyle dining was definitely different then other cruises.  I am an open-minded...
