Cruising out of Baltimore March 13th, this 14-day 8 -island trip was more than could be expected. The service aboard the ship was as we expected - great!
Only negatives were the long line and time it took to check in, and some of the entertainments was not as good as we've seen before on the Pride.
But I've discovered that two-weeks at sea is perfect - twice as nice as the one-week and it's over before you sneeze cruises.

The comedians and the stage shows were no up to what we saw on our previous Pride cruise.
Service and Staff

A great big THANKS to or head waiter, Damir Hodo. He was like having our own personal attendant. At times it appeared that he was handling our requests before we had to ask.

Our Cabin Attendant, Ian, was very accommodating to our special requests. He kept our ice cooler filled and also provided us with a lounge chair for us to use on our balcony! The bed was firm and comfortable.
Ship tip
The 24-hour room service is great. Their BLT's are the best. Only draw back is their cookies. They don't appear to be made on the ship like the last time we cruised with them.
Getting into the water at the beach was a little tricky due to the reefs. There was another ship docked when we got there and the place was very busy. A good bet is to head to the pool. It was crowded but there was still room to relax.
Very interesting people selling their wares. Look for the man that makes his own jewelry. Great deals and cool man. He was really the only person with selling original handmade items.
Although the island was beautiful the people were rather standoffish. I went into the town and found most of the people only spoke French. I did find a nice pastry shop on one of the back streets. Great food but I got the opinion they didn’t like Americans too much by the way the worker talked (or should I say didn’t talk) to me. However, the street vendors that were set up right off the ship were easier to talk to. NOTE: The streets in town reminded me of the European streets – narrow and bustling.
Not sure I could do it! LOL
I always getting away, but always enjoy getting home too! And the limited contact with family at home for that long with stress me out! LOL
@skeates Me too. We took 13-day 8 island on Sunshine in February and it was vaca of a lifetime. February 2016, we are doing b2b from Canaveral in the Magic.
