Review summary

I have traveled with Carnival in the past on the Breeze and it was an awesome ship. The pride is a smaller ship but has recently been updated and still has plenty to see and do. I truly enjoyed the destinations especially Belize, Rotan Honduras and Grand Cayman. First travels to Belize and Rotan and they were memorable ports of call. Georgetown Grand Cayman is always a treat.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was amazing and very spacious. We traveled in a group of 5 and there was room for all of us to enjoy evenings together.

Ship tip

I would recommend a balcony, we had an ocean suite with an extended balcony and an interior room. Both were spacious and comfortable but a private balcony is a nice place for the family to enjoy the ocean day and night in a private setting.

Beautiful place but watch the locals and your wallet. I was overcharged on the beach dining area. I was also always constantly solicited to purchase things.

Beautiful, stay on the island and do not go into the mainland, it's a dangerous place.

Always love Georgetown, feel safe and secure walking or taking a cab anywhere. The locals are pleasant and helpful.
