Review summary

First but not last time on the Pride, I really fell in love with this ship and this review is about the ship itself not the ports. Our boarding was delayed 4 hours my first impression of the atrium was welcome you can relax now, it felt like a gathering spot. On subsequent nights the music played was great. It did get crowded at times especially on formal nights but this was expected. The layout of the ship is easy to get around, lots of bathrooms. I loved the dining room, our waitstaff was fantastic and the singing maitrade (spelling?) was fun. Really liked the casino which never felt overly smokey (I'm a smoker) the dealers and pit bosses were cool especially when they called us by name. The drink service in the casino needed work though. Shore excursion staff went above and beyond. Really liked the lido deck especially with three pools. The serenity deck was very relaxing. It was always easy to find food, great selection on lido. The area of the fun shops did get congested and were kind of small but no biggie. Our room was always clean Ricardo did a great job. Disembarking was just that, no one wants vacation to end so crabbiness level goes up. We put our bags out the night before so our wait was a little longer. We were provided coffee and water while we waited and the staff handled us great. Now the not so good things. Deck 3 outside had no chairs (most likely due to rough seas we experienced through most of the cruise). Internet service stunk almost the whole time (a lot of kids on board probably eating up bandwidth). The ship needs some TLC, there were obviously rusty parts and wear and tear. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. Bottom line would I sail her again??? In a heartbeat! Would I recommend her?? OMG YES!!
