FH & I are contimplating a Hawaiian cruise with NCL as part of our honeymoon, so we can see more of Hawaii. We would do 3 or 4 nights in Oahu and then the 7 night cruise, which leave from Honolulu, makes 2 stops on the Big Island, and then stays overnight in both Kuaui and Maui.
The cruise is on NCL's Pride of America.
Has anyone ever cruised with NCL before? I love cruising but have only ever been on Royal Caribbean and Princess.
Let me know if anyone has any reviews
TIA!

I've been on NCL before its nice. The only thing is that u do dinner whenever you want and aren't seated with the same people.

I know people that LOVE NCL, but FH and I went on a week cruise to the Bahamas and while it was nice, it wasn't really that FUN. I think Royal Caribbean is a better time.

We cruise NCL every year with FH's family. It's a great cruiseline. There's no like set times to do anything - your free to eat, drink, play as you please. I've only ever been the NCL Dawn and it's a great ship. I can't imagine the other ones wouldn't be great as well.

Re: Honeymoon-Related Question
Thanks for the input girls.
Like I said, I have only ever been on RC and Princess, and I had such an opposite experience on the two cruise lines. I LOVE RC- they are friendly, fun, accommodating, the food is great, ect ect. Princess- I hated. I thought the food wasn't as good, service was awful. The whole time I was on Princess I kept saying 'at the next port I'm getting off and waiting for the RC ship to pick me up'
My main worry is having a 'Princess experience' so-to-speak on my honeymoon.
I had heard that NCL is a 'whatever you want, whenever you want style', which I'm sure has its positives and negatives.

I think you will be happy. I have no real complaints. I'm just pretty sure it is more of a family cruise line with kids and stuff. FH and I didn't know that, but we did meet one couple that was on their honeymoon!
