Review summary

This was our first cruise and we desperately needed a relaxing get away from our "sandwich family".  We spent most of the time reading, sitting by the adult pool and relaxing on our balcony and in our room.  My husband made good use of the fitness center.  However, if activity is what you are looking for there is plenty to do on board, day and night for young and old.  

We took excursions to all three ports and had a wonderful beach time each day.  The stop in Freeport was very short and the cost of the excursion we booked and the taxi fare to and from was quite costly for the hours we spent there.  Otherwise, no complaints!

Ship Quality

The Pride seemed a little ... worn and dated. Sort of like an old Las Vegas casino feel ?? But it is kept very clean.

We booked a day at an all inclusive resort through a travel site other than the cruise line. Had a fabulous day at the Breezes Resort. Easy taxi ride. $25 there, $15 back.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
Booked a day at an all inclusive resort through a travel site other than the cruise line. Had a nice, short time at the Wyndham (a real step down from the Breezes in Nassau - how quickly you can be spoiled!) and the taxi ride was $40 each way!! A very expensive 4 hour stay at a nice beach.
