Need 7 day cruise-Hawaii-options?

[azcater]

I've been doing research and want to do a 7 day cruise (can't take 2 weeks off) to Hawaii in April 2006, is it true that my only option is Norwegian's Pride of Aloha and Pride of America?

 

Just want to make sure I'm not overlooking any other options. Thanks!!

 

Also, would you recommend going in April or July if you had the choice. We live in AZ and i would really like to get away from the heat in July, but I've heard it's better to visit Hawaii in late April.

 

Thanks!!

This is totally my humble opinion, but I would prefer July over April. The surf is normally gentler (for us snorkelers), and it's dryer (less run-off for snorkeling) in some areas of the islands.

 

As for the NCL options, I loved POAloha and look forward to POAmerica. The port schedule can't be beat! Again, just MHO.
