Hoping you all enjoy cruising around Hawaii. 🌺 I’ve been on the Pride Of America twice and although I loved both trips, I would definitely recommend a balcony cabin; the views are stunning. On our first trip Kīlaue’a was actively weupting and the flows had reached the ocean near Kalapana and the southeast flank of Hawai’i island, making for some gorgeous views of fire-meeting-water, especially at night. The captain made four passes (two for each side of the ship) so everyone could enjoy.
That's awesome, just another reason why we love this specific itinerary!
Going in June and definitely got the balcony suite 😂😂😂
@@Swampgurl777 that's when I should be starting on the Pride of America for work
@@joshuamiller2627 can I ask you how did the job go. Was it worth it? I am contemplating accepting a job offer
Do u know what type of Starbucks drinks they have on board preferably refreshers and frappes
😂 I made my appearance behind you at 43:25! 🥰
I had just clocked in for the wonderful, hectic Saturday shift and I forgot you were going to be shooting.
I was in Shore Excursions and your input on BOOKING EXCURSIONS AHEAD is RIGHT ON POINT! I can’t stress that enough! ❤
And book months in advance too.
Keep in mind that some excursions can get cancelled if there are not enough people participating.
Also, there is plenty to see and do on your own if you PLAN AHEAD! 🥰
lol
Just got offered the job on the ship. So excited!
Nice, take care of the soft serve machine for us.
So did I ,bro see u soon!
@@honeylv7477 I was just offered a job too.. how is it?
So did I! Leaving for training next week!
Run for the hills buddy.
I think this is the very best walkthrough of the pride of america among all the videos that the youtube recept put out here and the travel agencies. Congratulations for doing such great job
Worked there 4.5 years
Yes, we had 3 ships out there.
When Hawaii legalize gambling, im sure NCL will bring back another ship
In my opinion, no one do’s a ship tour better that you two 🙏 I am liking this ship and could see a B2B next year .
Thank you so much! We have a ton of fun, and we are just getting started. - Taylor
A lot of our guests did back to back sailings! Just make sure when you put your card on file, you let finance know it’s the same card for both cruises!
This was the best video I have seen. Thank you
I have sailed POA 3 different years and I love the voyage. Hawaii is always my happy place.
Taking this cruise for our 45th anniversary!
The Conservatory (when the Pride of America was to begin her commission) was originally a Humidor...where folks went to smoke their cigars. I was a Res employee and we learned this on our Fam tour!! I had also worked onboard the ss Independence & ss Constitution who pioneered the 7-day cruise of the Hawaiian Islands in the 80's. As the line dissolved, it was great to see the Pride of America come in and keep the Island cruises going. I did also sail the Norwegian Star early on before the Pride arrived and was US flagged...it was interesting to have to sail a very long way to Kiribati just to touch foreign land for 6 hours and turn around and sail right back. I do love days at sea though, so I really didn't mind...plus was great to visit an extremely remote island in the Pacific!
Thanks for a great tour of the ship!!
Thanks for doing this tour Danny… seems like a different ship to every vlog we have watched, now much more excited for the ship itself for our October 2024 cruise 😊
Hey Kelly, this one was super fun to film and the ship is in such good shape after the 2021 renovation you will love it! - Taylor
We are going in 2024. Can’t wait.
I've been really intrigued by this ship for a few years, so glad to have stumbled upon your video tonight. She looks beautiful!
Thank you for watching! We were excited to finally add her to the channel. - Taylor
I'm thinking about this cruise for my 40th birthday next year. I want to do something other than the Caribbean.
Great Video! Even more excited to go on Pride of America in 2 months!
Thank you, and many thanks to Tamara for helping me book this ship. I will need to watch this again before we go. Thank you for another great tour video.
Tamara is amazing! Thank you for booking with us. - Taylor
Got so many great memories from my cruise on this in 2017 Loved every part of it can’t wait to get back on another cruise cheers form Australia.🍻
Excellent video. This ship looks amazing and lots of dining options
Thanks, for the fantastic tour. This is actually my dream cruise.
We really aren't kidding when we say this is one of the best ways to see Hawaii! - Taylor
Thank you for this wonderful video! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
You just saved me money from the spa. I was expecting more compared to other spas.
Thanks for this. Actually requested it on another video.
This has been high on our list for a very long time, so we are super excited to add it to the channel! - Taylor
How is the water when traveling? It was rough in the bay of alaska when we went last summer. That would be my only deterrent. Love your videos! Thanks
Great video and tour
We'll be on it in a week.
Was a good ship miss it already
The conservatory is such an odd place... it was supposed to be a dome above the lobby atrium, but when they extended the ship in Germany, there had to be stronger structural support in the area.
This is a good way to see all the islands of Hawaii
100% agree!
This was a great walk through by Andrew Schulz
lol! That’s what I was thinking!😂
Yeah~bes upload-
Thank you
Hoping to go on this cruise this summer. Which side of the ship would be best for our balcony room to be on the view the ports as we arrive?
What is a good hour to board the ship on Saturday? Do we get a special dinner every night or do we need to make any dinner reservations? Those places you can eat by the pool, they have food that you can just grab anytime of the day for free or do you have to order it? Are the Cabana's extra? What's the best Luau to go to? They say don't book through NCL. For seating on the buffet, can you just sit anywhere? Is the steakhouse extra or do you need a reservation?
Hey Danny and Taylor. I’ve never heard of this Norwegian ship Pride of America. Guess it went by another name before the revamp. Hawaii was the best destination vacation of my life. Would like to experience cruising as well. Gonna watch and enjoy. Thanks in advance and see you next video.
Ship name never changed from day one. There is a great you tube video of the history of cruising Hawaii. NCL originally had ships registered for Hawaii cruises. Almost bankrupted the company in the early 2000’s. Sky and Jade were the other two ships that were renamed when pulled from Hawaii.
@@tomhenry1592 Now I did hear of the Sky and Jade. I sailed the Gem. Now the Prima is calling me. Thanks so much for the backstory.
Is there a hidden hot tub? If so, where is it located? Read that it's near the starboard but where exactly is that?
We build this ship in Bremerhaven in Germany
Is this a baby friendly cruise? Is it recommended for a couple with a 1 year old baby? Or are there better vacations options? Thanks for anyone that answer
Most of these restaurants are still closed. If you look at the website several say they are still closed. I read they are having issues finding staff since most of the ship has to be American and they are having issues finding the people to work. I’m hoping they are open when I go on this ship at the end of April.
I go to training around mid may or end of may should be in Hawaii after a week orf training so I think il be working on the ship in June
How was your trip? I'm considering the 7 day Hawaii tour but there are so many bad reviews.
@@gayleshupack3532 I should be working there soon
The amount of restaurants is overwhelming. Lol
It’s very hot in the summer . 3-5 my family had to go into the air .
Hope you had a great cruise!
We did love Hawaii but it does get very hot in the afternoon and I recommend the cruise because of that .
Are the specialty restaurants open for lunch also ?
I need a this
Are the food and beverages include?
Is it possible for you to put in time stamps on all full ship tour videos
We will try to add those, it just doesn't work that well sometimes with the longer videos. - Taylor
💚
Is this current as of Sept 2022?? What age does Splash Academy start? We have a 3 & 4 yrs old
Yes, we filmed this just a couple weeks ago. 👍🏼
SON ?
OMG you have a baby I only know about your little girl. Oh baby Danny that's so sweet congratulations to you and your wife I'm sure the baby's been around and I'm the last to know lol
The newest cruise addition for sure.
Thank you for the awesome tour of POA. My friends & I are booked on her in June 2024. We are learning all we can, in the meantime, about the ship & Hawaii. Can you recommend the best luau? We want to do one, but there seem to be so many options. TIA!
Germaine's is my favorite. The Polynesian Cultural Center is nice too but does not serve alcohol.
I heard Maui luau is great …but also the one on Oahu at Polynesian center
Is an east meets west complimentary ..sushi etc?
Is télé y’a ki and east meets west open during lunch ?
Tépenyaki ?
What's the age limit on the teen room? Any flexibility on the age? Do they have any special treatment for handicap, as my daughter is having ACL surgery
Did I miss which deck the food buffet is on?
11
I used to work on this cruise ship! Lol
So did I! I was a restaurant steward!
@@austinjones3856 I was a bar waiter in 2015! Lol you look familiar! Hope all my ohana is doing well.
@@PpP-mo3if I just got a job on it as a bar waiter!! I leave in a few weeks. How was it??
@@Mmmmm83838 lol that’s what I was! It was over all personally a good experience, you just have to push yourself sometimes as the work schedule is all over the place as a bar waiter and pretty demanding physically. Training in Maryland was actually really cool and they’ll stop at a Walmart on the last day I believe after your first pay day so you can get last min stuff for Hawaii (or at least they did at the time). But come mainly prepared/packed for your 5 month clothes, etc... if you start training soon, you’ll be in the cold for training in piney point so pack cold weather clothes it’s nippy. 😂 I started my days as a bad waiter juicing at the buffet bar at like 7 am-10 or something like that, then a couple of hours off, then a 1-7 shift and then a late Night Shift floating at bars that need more service… then get off very late sometimes even 1/2 am to start back up again the next morning. 7 days a wk of work for 5 months straight. After 3 months I got pretty exhausted and caught a flight home at a upcoming port (Maui). But it was so unique and a really cool experience I’ll have with me and met some truly amazing people. Lots of interesting people. Plus I came home with a few thousand saved. Advice- Make sure to show love to laundry staff, don’t get too drunk while coming back to the ship (they breathalyze) and fit as much fun/scenic stuff you can in your little time off (like going to waterfalls, road to hana etc). Bulk up on toiletries and store in your cabin so you don’t spend so much time running errands while in port lol. Have a blast! 🤗
@@PpP-mo3if this is so helpful, thank you so much! I’m kinda scared of getting burned out but I also work 60-70 hours a week in a place not as beautiful as Hawaii. I’m really looking forward to everything :)
no cabins????
Is the hot chocolate extra?
Why doesn't this ship have an unlimited full open bar??
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any cruise has an unlimited full open bar. You have to buy a drink package or pay per drink.
I wonder how many people in your party when you make these videos?
I'm sorry but I feel like when you say redundant/ redundancy it sounds like something bad.
Maybe it's because most people use it for describing bad things like saying that it was so redundant or something I don't know I'm sorry I love you :)
No redundancy is a great as long as it is something that many people utilize. Otherwise there would be only one bar onboard... that would be very bad.
Many of the restaurants you pointed out are closed. Just sayin'
They were with the initial restart, but should all be open now
Most recent renovation in 2001? I think you meant 2021.
Correct, 2021
2005
Not sure how this came up in my recommended but I went on this cruise in 2014. I was not really impressed. Food was meh. Maybe it wasn’t as good as it could be because I was a minor.
I’m hoping to eat local food.
Isnt Pride of Hawaii and Pride of Aloha also a US flag ship?
They were. Now they've been reflagged to the Bahamas
wow she is dated. reminds me of walking around a mall in the early 2000s
I just received a job offer to work on it. I'll be the tall guy behind the bar.
