Review summary
Our experience onboard the Carnival Pride was a good one. Starting from our embarkation,it went smoothly and pretty quickly. Our cabin steward was great. He kept our room spotless day and night.My kids loved the little towel animals that were left on our bed each night with the turndown service. There was a lot to do each day and night,as far as cruise activities went.The dining room wait staff was amazing. We had a special diet,so they tried their best to accommodate us each night. The entertainment was great as well. If you have kids,be careful about watching the stage shows with them. Some of the shows were a little risque,meaning the costumes,or lack thereof. If you don't mind them seeing skimpy costumes,then disregard. As far as port info,Port Canaveral was nice,but there wasn't much to do off the ship,esp. since you have a very limited time in each port. I would recommend booking excursions. Nassau was beautiful,esp. the beach. Atlantis is a must if you're visiting the Bahamas. I have cruised previously with Celebrity CL,but our first time with Carnival CL was not bad at all. Overall,it was a good experience.

Ship tip
Go to the Lido deck for the dinner buffet,not many people there at dinnertime,since everyone eats in the dining room. Breakfast in the Lido deck was very good,a lot of variety.
