	Cruise Critic Reviews: Pride of Aloha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In a stroke of extreme bad fortune, Pride of America, the U.S.-flagged new-build initially slated for the official NCL America launch in July 2004, was swamped while docked at its shipyard during a storm in January of that year and sank to the shallow bottom.
		Clearly, the Pride of Aloha experience has evolved, but what's particularly important is that the ship offers a genuinely unique resort-at-sea cruise; passengers can spend a maximum of 96 hours in ports (that's including time in Honolulu on both ends of the voyage).
		The central focus of Pride of Aloha is its three-deck-high atrium (it actually rises to the top deck of the ship, and so sunshine floods in during the daytime).

		At her launch, therefore, Pride of Aloha's hotel and restaurant staff simply lacked institutional experience, leading to guest complaints of sloppy service, extremely long waits for dinner, and staff who often seemed confused or uninformed about the ship's operations.
		Because Pride of Aloha stops at a different port every morning, and because passengers frequently spend all day ashore on lengthy excursions, folks tend to return tired and ready to chow down -- leading to long lines at the restaurants at opening time.
		Yes, Pride of Aloha's cabins are pretty, with wood-grain walls and carpets, upholstery, and bedspreads done in vibrant, Hawaiian-accented pinks, blues, oranges, purples, and greens, but spacious they're not.
