Pride of America April 1 -check in/departure
Aloha,
Today we boarded the Pride of America in
Our Cabin is a Balcony Room on deck 11. Cabin is really nice, the bedding is 2 long twins that can be converted together to make 1 bed. In certain cabins (quad or triple) comes with a sofa sleeper that can fit 2 people. When you pull out the sofa sleeper it does not leave much walk space, so better to open it when it’s shut eye time. The cabin has 4 drawers (small) in the cabinetry. The closet has shelves and wire baskets to store your clothes. Hangers are also available in the closet. Luggage fits nicely under the beds so it does not block the walk way in the cabin. The bath room is a stand up shower, toilet and sink. There is a shelf available for toiletry items and a corner medicine cabinet. Shampoo and Soap is provided in an installed dispenser in the shower. You will need to bring a bottle of conditioner for the ladies with tangled hair. A refrigerator, coffee maker, glasses and ice tub are provided in the room. A TV and internet service to check emails is also provided in the cabin. The room attendants are always available to help with cleaning to the cabin to turning down the bed. They keep you updated with daily activities by putting a schedule in your room daily. So you can plan in advance what you will be doing the next day.
If you missed bringing anything from home, they have a shopping deck with a sundries shop and a clothing store. Prices are not outrageous.
Dinner: Wow, the food is great….lots to eat on the ship. I can’t guarantee you will have the same menu we did, but no matter what they cook up the food is great!!! We had a shrimp and scallop appetizer, skirt steak with mash potatoes w/papaya salsa….(so good), then for dessert we had lilikoi (passion fruit) sherbet.
The 1st night of the cruise has all kinda stuff going on from music groups to dancing and talks with the Hawaii Ambassador to get advice on your next’s day shore activities. It’s a big celebration to start the cruise off.
Tomorrow we head to
Photo’s will be updated on future blog.
