Review summary

Our cabin steward was so helpful and charming. 

The food was terrible, most of it extremely undercooked.  Three in our party ordered the baked apples -- I never got mine (waiter ran after me as I was leaving to give me one on a plate).  The ones that got them, the apples were so uncooked they could barely cut them with a knife and ended up not eating them; chicken was half raw; prime rib was very, very thin, fatty and cold; salmon patties were mushy and uncooked; wrong meals were delivered to the table; coffee orders were ignored.  The entertainment was terrible; looked like a high school review and very provocative.   Smoke in casino was over the top -- looked like a foggy day in London.  More venting could help.  Could smell the casino from the far end of the ship when we got off of elevator.  Most of the crew couldn't speak enough English to be helpful.  Was terribly disappointed in this cruise.  The best part was sitting on our balcony enjoying the unpolluted air.

This will be our 6th cruise on the Pride. They must be doing something right. This is our small group year, only 5 cabins this year Every other year we have 9 cabins.

Damn dude, unwind! Do something else next time. It's what you make it , too.

People with extreme complaints about the food have zero credibility. It's impossible that "everyone's food was undercooked." We were on a 7 day cruise last August. The #1 goal of every crew member is to keep the guests happy. What this whiner is saying could never happen.

Went on the Pride this past October, had a blast. Food was good, staff was exceptional, ship was clean, shows were fun. Don't let one persons feedback discourage you. Your trip is what you make it.

Maybe Cunard is more your style.

this person is just writing bad reviews without having a cruise history. I have heard such great things about the food

Wow, this is discouraging considering we are leaving in 59 days.

Sorry to hear you had a bad experience. We've been on many Carnival ships and never had a bad cruise.
