Review summary

My husband and I sailed on the Pride last week and it was absolutely marvelous and we had a wonderful time. So wonderful that we are planning to take the exact same cruise next year! It was our 30th wedding anniversary during our trip and decided to dine at David's Steakhouse for our special evening. The service and food was exceptional and the restaurant brought us champagne and cheesecake after our regular meal for our anniversary. The other evenings we ate at the Main Dining Room and had anytime dining. A few evenings there was a little wait but usually only 15 minutes or so. The ship itself is beautiful. Not any of the neon and bling the other carnival ships we have sailed on in the past. The Pride is dark woods, chandeliers, and pure elegance. We had several favorites things we liked on the ship; Serenity Bar/ Pool area, Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana Cantina, The Ivory Piano Bar and The Alchemy Bar to just name a few. The mixologists from The Alchemy were great. They knew our names and what we wanted to drink the 2nd time we went there. My husband and I attended a Mixology Class one afternoon and not only was it fun but it was very interesting as well. Miro and Lydia at the Alchemy are the best bar tenders that I have ever seen. Found a new favorite drink also (Classic Manhattan). We had a balcony room portside which was nice. Our room steward,Dwi, and his helper were very good and took great care of us all week. They cleaned up our room in the morning and then also did our turn down every evening. If you would like robes ask your steward and he will get them for you. All the pools on the ship are really pretty. We liked the Serenity pool the best as it is Adult only and much quieter than the other pools. The ports we visited were Gran Turks, Half Moon Cay, and Freeport Bahamas. We snorkled at Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay. Both ports were beautiful and looking forward to going again. We had been to Freeport years ago so knew what to expect there. Did all our souvenir shopping and was surprised to hear the song Take Me Home Country Roads (we're from WV) being played by a band out in the common area where all the shopping was. We had a very memorable trip and looking forward to going again next year.
