Review summary

Will probably not cruise out of NYC again, but will definitely go back to Bermuda again.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Apparently they had issues getting some of the passengers off of the ship from the prior cruise.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Carnival has apparently made changes to how the buffet and other restaurants operate as there were long lines for almost all meals.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Mostly a good experience, seems like the smaller Pride had larger pools and I liked the setup of the Lido deck screen better than on the larger Magic.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Entertainment options were good. Not impressed with the lead male singer or maybe it was the setup on his microphone but his vocal quality was not very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward did an excellent job as usual, a little disappointed by seeing tables with plates and cups sitting out for much longer than expected.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
I actually like the Carnival Pride layout a little better than Magic as I stated regarding the Lido deck screen and size of the pools.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Again cabin steward did a wonderful job. Room was showing a little wear, but overall the room was nice.

Ports of call

New York, New York

2 out of 5
It is NYC so traffic getting to the cruise terminal was problematic, however parking at the terminal was very easy

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Love Bermuda. Did two excursions the tour of the island was very interesting and out tour guide was great. The second evening cruise was not as good, but glass bottom boats are hit and miss, but enjoyed the history and the cruise at night to see a partially sunken ship.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5
If you stay at the aft end of the ship be warned you will be one of the last groups called for disembarkation.
