Review summary

Carnival Pride Feb. 20,2016 sailing on 8 day caribe an cruise was everything expected and more. Staff was unbelievably welcoming. Food was plentiful and tasty. Was looking forward to guy''s burger right when we boarded ship.Incredible burger and fries. So much to do, especially at night. Comediens, shows, movies on lido deck, and piano bar.

Most memorable moments were cast of show went to piano bar and adlibbed, PA comedien show real funny, dinners in the Normandie were great. We were great full to receive a table for two after requesting with maitre d right when we got on ship.

Faster to fun definitely worth price. One of first on ship. Were able to go directly to stateroom.Also debarkarkation done very smoothly by being escorted to gangway about an hour and a half before we would have been on ship.

Ports were Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau. Opportunity for shore excursions, but we did not do any. 2 beach days and shopping in Nassau. Try Margarittaville in Grand Turk. Atmosphere and food were great.

Once again, the overall experience was great, probably the best of our 6 cruises.

Thank you to all on Carnival Pride for a 25th anniversary to remember.

Also to the woman who told everyone that the food sucks during the q&a with cruise director, you are a moron.

They usually start boarding at 12. We get there about 10:45 because the terminal fills up very fast!

What time did they start boarding in Baltimore? It's our first time out of Baltimore. All other 7 of our cruises we left of New York. We usually get there around 11AM and board right away. We are staying in a hotel and check out time is 11 AM. That's why am wondering.

You board right behind the gold and silver VIP's If you come in after the boarding has started, they will take you directly to boarding area!

Great review! Will be on the Pride April 3rd! A vacation is all in what you make of it and it gets quite depressing reading all the negatives people post. People's expectations are way to high I think! Shoot, I'm on vacation, I don't have to cook or clean, just sit back and take it all in, just for that I'm grateful!

What a delight to read a positive review. THANK YOU rjclowes, and Happy Anniversary! It is so depressing to read all the unhappy comments. To me reviews are to help the people reading them, not to make us feel bad that we have selected that cruise! Those people are stealing our JOY if we haven't boarded yet! So very happy you had a great time! On the Pride April 15 and managed to get FTTF!

I'm happy you had a great anniversary celebration. We are celebrating our 30th on the May 15th cruise and can not wait. We have done this cruise multiple times and love the Pride. We were wondering if it's still Roger in the Piano Bar.

Everything and more than I expected.

Had a great time, but I don't know that I would sail on the Pride again

Waiting for next time to go on that ship!
