The NCL America "Pride of America" is a completely new cruise ship, and the first to be built as an American flagged ship in many years. We expect that many of the visitors to this website have come to see the Pride, and not necessarily to see the photos of our wonderful cruise through the Panama Canal. So, by all means take a look at the images we took inside this lovely ship.

To add a "Hawaiian" flavor to the ship, NCL has installed a wonderful collection of small artworks along the hallways of the cabin decks, 7 thru 10. When you are on the Pride, be sure to walk along the hallways on your deck and look at the pictures. They are small jewels, some photographic, others the work of very talented Hawaiian artists. All were carefully selected to highlight aspects of Hawaiian culture.

By the way, there has been a lot of reaction to the decorative tiles present in the public men's restrooms. Our take on them is that they are the ultimate "shipyard worker" joke. The bathroom humor is undoubtedly funny to Europeans, but we're not sure if Americans will find them quite as funny. You will have to decide for yourselves. Bob took photos of as many different tiles as he could find, but the photos are not posted on this website.

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.
