Sail Date: Apr 2015
Cabin: Mid-Ship Balcony

The Pride of America in Hawaii was so awesome we decided to do the Panama Canal with Norwegian as well. We booked our excursions a through the online selections a long time before sailing, and found this to be a great idea. no last minute choices and the tickets in our cabin ready for us when we embarked. Lots to choose from at different levels of activity preferred.

We enjoyed the food, though expected some changes to the main buffet since it is the main area people eat in. Hard to find a table at times as well, but found the clearing of dirty dishes on the tables to be quick.

Eating in one of the two main dining rooms, or, specifically the ones that are free, became boring as both have mostly the same menu, just a different dress code in one for dinner hours. Many times I never received the correct order, but must be hard to keep them straight when so many orders being delivered to the waiter stations before going to the exact table. Since we didn't have a budget that included paying for our dinner at one of the paying restaraunts every night, we usually ate at the buffet.

Cabin Review

Mid-Ship Balcony

Cabin BA

A mid ship balcony, lots of room to move about without bumping into each other. Comfortable bed, lots of storage for clothing and suitcases. We had some water problems(mentioned in review, in our bathroom and some carpeting in hallways and other cabins in our corridor).

Port Reviews

Acapulco

did our own thing by walking through the port areas and having lunch. took a taxi to see the cliff divers. that was fabulous and we had lunch and a beer to watch the show. experienced a small earth quake while buying some fabric in a fabric store downtown.

Los Angeles

walked ourselves way down the harbour to a Sunday fair with food and artists and many people enjoying their family day. Was the best way to see how local people spend their Sunday with their loved ones, enjoying local foods and fun!

San Francisco

took our own tour around the pier and seen everything we could. Ate at Bubba Gumps, was as usual, sooo great. seen the sealions, had some chowder and then took a boat tour out to Alcatraz and around the harbour. Under the Golden Gate Bridge, fabulous!!
