While the most of the Pride of Aloha cruise reviews were positive at sites such as Cruisereviews.com, Cruisecritic.com, and Cruisemates.com, there were some concerns – mainly about the staff which is 99 percent American. Miami Beach 411 (miamibeach411.com) had this to say, “Norwegian Cruise Lines ran into trouble with the debut of Pride of Aloha for two reasons. One was that the ship’s unique American-flagged status meant that 99 percent of its employees must come from the U.S. The U.S. has not been a player in the onboard staffing of cruise ships; in America, there’s not the same culture or tradition of cruise work.â€? Subsequently, most of the negative Pride of Aloha cruise reviews also detailed problems the passenger had with an “unresponsive,â€? “unpleasant,â€? and “unhappyâ€? staff.
