Review summary
This was our second cruise with Carnival and our first cruise taking the entire family - our two adult children with spouses and 3 granddaughters, ages 15 months to 8 years. We were on the Carnival Pride for the Mexican Riviera Cruise. The kids had a great time - I think the 15 month old had the best time... She loved the shows, as did we all, and she danced in the Butterfly room nightly.. Our family ( 8 people) dined each night in the Normandie Room and our Waiter and Waitress could not have been more accomodating and gracious. A plate of fruit was always immediately brought to the table for our toddler and our waiter always cut the steak for our 8 year old - you can't ask for more than that! We had wonderful service. We came home with a beautiful family portrait and beautiful portraits of our children. The quality of work by your photographers is very professional. I think the photos were the best part of the trip for me (being the grandma)! We swam with dolphins and our daughter went parasailing - something she has always wanted to do. Our transportation on shore was always top notch. We had two disappointments on the ship. We purchased what were suppose to be three partially obstructed view rooms - two of the three rooms we purchased had absolutely NO view. They were totally obstructed. Our second disappointment was we had requested three rooms next to each other. We ended up with one room in a different isle and two of the rooms together. It wasn't too much of an inconvenience but would have been nice if we could have all been close. It made it a little more difficult for my husband and I to help with the grandchildren . It was a full cruise, being Thanksgiving week, so we certainly understood the cruise line had to make adjustments to accomodate all the children on this particular cruise. We will cruise with Carnival again. Thanks for an unforgettable vacation.Ports of call
