Review summary

This was mine and my daughters first cruise ever.  I think leaving from Baltimore is to long for us out to sea.  We both got sick, and we still can't shake the rocking of our bodies/head, 3 days later.  Of course Carnival can't control this.  This was an amazing experience.  Loved everything about it.  The food is unbelievable.  Authentic, and delicious.  Entertainment was great.  Cruise employees - host/hostess - just amazing.  They go way above and beyond.

What can I say about the Islands......just amazing. Beaches, food, service - outstanding.  Oh did I forget the shopping, lol.  Our tour guides in Turk on our Stingray and snorkeling excursion, all 3 of them were fabulous.  Patient with all of us.  Entertained the kids.  I will do this again, but out of Florida so I don't have to spend so much time on the boat.  Even though I did enjoy my boat time, relaxing, dancing, swimming, etc, I just couldn't shake the motion sickness.  You live and learn, next time, I'll have medicine, patch, bracelet or something for this.  Truly enjoyed meeting people from other areas, and countries.

Plenty of room for me and my daughter. The shower pressure was fabulous. Francis took great care of us. Provided towels, ice, cleaned our room. Loved the towel animals daily, except the bat lol Kind of speechless on how great he was. I/we so appreciate him taking such great care of us, and our room

SeaMoM77, you won't even feel the ship move. This will be my 17th cruise, I think I know what I'm talking about, lol! 😁

Now I'm scared lol. Doing my first cruise feb 2018 on the Pride. I've been on a coast guard ship in rough seas. I handled that with no problem but would I be ok on the Pride?

Dramamine non drowsy is a must have for me!!

Dramamine is always available for free at the Purser's Desk, just an FYI for next time. Glad you enjoyed yourselves, I'm going in less than 2 weeks!

Bonine is the same as non-drowsy Dramamine, which is also Meclazine or the prescription Antivert. I just get it over the counter and use it as I need it. You could have obtained it on the ship, too, but it's more expensive there.

Going on Pride for the 4th time the end of the month. So far have never gotten sick. I always have Dramamine with me just in case.

My family has done this cruise Green apples help with motion sickness as well. Carnival always provides them for this main reason. I will second that you were still willing to give 5 stars. Other than the sickness I too am glad you had a great time.

I drink to the point where i don't know if is the alcohol or the ship's rocking that is making me walk sideways.

Love that you still were able to give a 5 star rating with the sickness. Most blame carnival hahah. But sorry to hear about feel sick the whole time we leave Sunday and fingers crossed we are ok. I did have our Doctor give us the patches after reading some reviews!!!
