  Cruise Critic News: Pride of America Heads to ... America
NCL, which intended Pride of America to be its first, and flagship, vessel to sail under the NCL America all-Hawaii umbrella, revised the original plans somewhat -- stretching the ship and embarking on a major redesign to accommodate its "freestyle dining" program.
That's when NCL was forced to hastily replace Pride of America with Pride of Aloha (the former Norwegian Sky), which resulted in numerous and well chronicled "breaking in" problems.
Pride of America is slated to arrive in New York on June 15, and will be ceremoniously inaugurated on June 17 before departing on a special "Live with Regis and Kelly" promotional cruise on June 18 with some 1,200 viewers onboard.

Pride of America is the first newly built ocean going cruise ship to fly the U.S. flag in over 50 years, and so was designed with its destination in mind.
Unlike Pride of Aloha, which carries a Hawaiian theme throughout, this ship celebrates various symbols of America -- interpretations focusing on history (such as the almost-out-of-Monticello Jefferson's Bistro) and pop culture (the wacky Cadillac Diner, a 1950's retro-style fast-food joint in which booths are tucked between the hood and fins of a huge recreated Cadillac).
