sorry, you had such a bad experience. It seems that the POH is having more problems that tne aloha or the POA. The POA is been sailing now for 2 years and gets mostly positive reviews: yes, the crew on Hawaii seems to have some problems. I dont think anyone has the answer and I hate to blame it on the American flagged ships and American work ethics, but it does seem to make a difference. On another board someone made a comment, the only way to make an American flagged ship a success in Hawaii is to consentrate on small, upscale ships with hefty price tags. that may be the only way to go. Every cruise line that is American flagged is very expensive as they have to pay the crew considerably more than other ships sailing under different flags. As for whiners, I have read reviews where, of course the posters are whining about stupid things, but this isn't always the case. It does seem NCLA has problems. One thing though, I bet you thought the ship was beautiful. NMNita

[QUOTE="newmexicoNita, post: 1041574"] sorry, you had such a bad experience. It seems that the POH is having more problems that tne aloha or the POA. The POA is been sailing now for 2 years and gets mostly positive reviews: yes, the crew on Hawaii seems to have some problems. I dont think anyone has the answer and I hate to blame it on the American flagged ships and American work ethics, but it does seem to make a difference. On another board someone made a comment, the only way to make an American flagged ship a success in Hawaii is to consentrate on small, upscale ships with hefty price tags. that may be the only way to go. Every cruise line that is American flagged is very expensive as they have to pay the crew considerably more than other ships sailing under different flags.
