Which Is the Best Cruise Line for Hawaii?
There are a few different cruise lines you can choose from when it comes to Hawaii cruising. They're all a bit different, so it depends on what is important to you. Here's a short overview of the major ones that sail the Hawaiian Islands:
Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL)
NCL is a very mainstream line and generally has the best prices. They often feel a little less upscale than other lines (the Hawaiian ships have all American crews, and some say other nationalities are better at providing service), and the food is described as fair, but first-time cruisers frequently enjoy NCL.
I actually prefer them because I'm a very casual gal (formal attire, what?) and NCL specializes in "Freestyle Dining," which means you can eat at any time you like and you don't have to dress up unless you want to.
NCL is also the only line that offers cruises starting and ending in Hawaii. This is good if you'd prefer to fly there and spend a week cruising as opposed to leaving from the west coast and sailing across the ocean to get there (longer cruises overall). This is also good if you don't have a passport or don't want to deal with the hassle of getting one.
