Our experience on the Carnival Pride was great. Service, food, and all of the staff were great. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. Everything was clean: the rooms, dining room and the theater was one of the nicest I have seen.
Rating: 5/5
First cruise on Pride..3rd with Carnival. Loved the Pride as a ship..she is well taking care of and gorgeous decor. Found the smoking area on Deck 9 extremely nice. Guy Burgers as always very good found fries to spicy for my test. Entertainment in Taj Maha was very underwhelming. The comedians on the other hand were very good including Joe the emcee. lots of laughs. Had early dining in Normandie great staff Eddie, Mario, Joe. anything I don't have to cook taste great to me but some items such backed potatoes and broccoli were either overcooked or under but a simple I'm sorry and items were replaced quickly and delicious. Wait staff on deck was extremly sparse was always faster to just get your own drinks but then you lose your seat on deck..grrr. only met our room stewart Palo on the first day and then never again till the last night of 7 day cruise. but our room was always clean but did have to chase down people for bath robes and beach towels. As for the excursions first one was in Cozumel Salsa Salsa Margarita. had a blast well orginized great people highly recommend. Second one was in Grand Cayman. Stingray sand bar and Tiki bar..got to check off bucket list up close and personal with stingrays but with exception of our bus driver no one was friendly the cost of two sandwiches at the tiki bar was 50 dollars was suppose to get free drink was offer fruit punch in a 6 ounce plastic cup..finally had to find a taxi to take us back or we would never had made it back..never recommend this excursion. The best part was our fellow cruisers. best crowd and friendly people. so what entertainment carnival did little to offer wr made our own fun with new friends. Oh also Steve the cruise director was the worse I have ever seen seemed like he was doing you a favor just being there. curt..aluf. sometimes rude.
I was not impressed by the staff or the cruise director Steve! The food I thought wasn't that good either! I have been I a few cruise's and I choose the pride because of the reviews but the reviews I think were not accurate! I don't think I'll book again on the pride.
Just had the pleasure of seeing the Panama Canal on the Pride. The crew, the ship and the journey was amazing. 13 days on the ship gave us an opportunity to completely unwind and unplug. We were waited on and pampered every step of the way.
Was my first cruise ship and overall it is definitely my favorite boat to be on! I enjoy the size, and the family atmosphere. Donkey is my favorite cruise director and Kelly is THE BEST club 02 director.
I a loyal CCL cruiser. I've sailed 19 times on her fleet. We recently went on the Carnival Pride out of Baltimore. I love it. The crew members were the best. Looking forward to sailing again in a few months ❤️
This was our fourth cruise, third on Carnival, second time on the Pride, and our first Christmas cruise. It was our best cruise yet! Three out of the 4 comedians were hilarious, the musical shows were impressive, movie choices were pretty good, daytime activities were plentiful, meals in the MDR were excellent, wine and mixed drinks were great, customer service was outstanding, our room was cleaned every evening, our steward gave us robes and extra towels as we requested, and the new HUB app was great to have! One of my favorite activities was the dance lessons. We learned the Thriller dance, Salsa, and the Tango. so much fun! It being a holiday cruise, they also had plenty of Christmas and Hanukkah themed activities for anyone to enjoy, but they weren't so "in your face" about them so that people who don't wish to celebrate those holidays weren't forced into it. We also had TWO helicopter Coast Guard medical evacuations during the cruise, and I was very impressed at how the crew kept the crowds at bay to give the patients, their families, and the rescuers the space and privacy they deserved! Our last Sea Day was Christmas Day and the 2nd day of Hanukkah. They put on a very nice holiday show for people of all ages that afternoon that included all the kids who went to Camp Carnival, and then had a very nice dinner menu for everyone to enjoy that evening. Seriously, we try to make sure every cruise is different, but I would honestly be happy repeating this cruise every Christmas!
This was our first cruise and it was wonderful. the only low point was not carnival controlled. We opted to go too the "private island beach with bar-b - q lunch" while in port at Nassau. Everything was perfect except the lunch. Don't pay the extra for the lunch. It consisted of a can of soda, a small bag of chips, and you choice of burger, cheeseburger, or hotdog that was setting on a warmer wrapped in foil for hours. My wife has to be gluten free and we asked for a cheeseburger on a plate without a bun and were told that was not possible. Other than that it was a wonderful time. A lot to see and met a lot of nice people. the crew was superb and did all they could to make the trip great. k,'
Never again on the pride. Food was terrible. Just awful. Had grand suite that was just terrible. But our room steward was terrific! Thanx Rommell! Will never go on pride sgain
