The NCL America "Pride of America" is decorated with a number of artwork "themes" along the exterior public walkways, particularly the level 6 promenade. Many of the themes are Hawaiian in nature, but others seem to be associated with cruise ship experiences. Some are incorrectly drawn, and others are just plain strange. This webpage has some of the images we took of this artwork.

These pictures were taken primarily with our (now not so) new Kodak DX6490, which we love. The 10x optical zoom is great, and the electronics do a fine job of automatic adjustment and flash operations.

More Hawaiian...	More...	A surfer	Outside the steakhouse, the theme is Hawaiian panioli (cowboys)	Hawaiian panioli decorate their cowboy hats with flower leis, also with other materials such as bird feathers.
Hawaiian fish. Is it the famous official state fish: Humuhumunukunukuapua'a?	Hawaiian kahili ( royal standards). Hmmm, some strange guy is waving from his balcony.	Perhaps they thought there was a casino on the ship. Anyway, notice that the "2" is painted backwards.	The "9" is backwards on this playing card.	I guess this is a "cocktail bar" theme, but it looks to us more like a German "Reeperbahn District" image.
"Hello Sailor!"
