Had a great time - barring a few issues with regards to our cabin which I will point out in the section about the stateroom we booked.
STAFF
The staff on the Pride is excellent and albeit a large vessel, it never felt crowded.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

FOOD
The food at David's Steakhouse (for which you pay additionally) is exceptional - make use of the free bottle of wine offered with your meal at David's on night one!
The sit-down dinners in the evening had a lovely menu and was prepared with care and presented beautifully.
The room service menu is very limited and does not compare to that of Holland America, which is more comprehensive

Cabin / Stateroom
1 out of 5
Our cabin at the aft of the ship - with extended balcony - proved to be disappointing due to a very badly corroded balcony window through which you could hardly see anything whilst lounging in the deck chairs. BAD if you have 3 days at sea during which you intended sitting on that balcony looking at the ocean!
After our outing to Freeport we took a snooze on our balcony - we awoke to find ourselves (and clothing and towels) covered in black-brown spots, this rained down intermittently for a prolonged time and ultimately we were forced to go inside for a shower and change of clothes. No idea what it was - soot, oil, or rust, but most unpleasant...
The cabin stewart was great and the stateroom itself clean and comfortable.
Ship tip
Please note - your one bottle of wine or allowed beverage per person MUST be in your carry-on and not in your luggage like on planes! It will be confiscated.
Rum tasting was interesting.
The conch tasting takes place at a restaurant and is NOT free...if you do feel like eating something remember it is the last stop before you return to the ship - order small. Portions are large. You won't have time to eat it all and of course dinner on the ship is included...
Did the history and snorkel trip. Snorkeling was really good and visibility too despite the rain. The served lunch after the snorkeling was good and our guide excellent.
