Review summary

The Pride is a beautiful ship, entire ship was immaculate, all ways being cleaned. It seemed comfortable even though certain areas were quite elegant

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The highlight was the first formal night, offered both prime rib or lobster, wish they would split them between formal nights, the second formal night was just so so. Davids supper club was wonderful, a very elegant admosphere but staff was friendly and comfortable. The food was 5-star. The Mermaid Grill buffett style was hit and miss. Desserts were mediocre in Mermaid Grill, the Dinning Room had some very good ones.

Ship size was nice, with 2200 cruisers aboard it never seemed crowded. there were plenty of sun lounges even on warm days. the public areas were in excellent shape and comfortable. The decor was opulelnt in many ways we liked the rennisance decor the old ship mermaid style. Very clean all the public restrooms were nice and always clean.
