Review summary

12/3 _ 12/10 .. My first cruise on the Pride and the first out of Baltimore.. but not my first cruise (18th)?. I have the good the bad and the ugly. The good .. the Ship, I liked the size and the configuration, very easy to get around. The dinning, evening, always something good/interesting to eat. Lunch and breakfast on the Lido.. a nice selection.. Seaday brunch should not be missed. I had "your time dinning", never waited more then 10 minutes. Good entertainment in the lounges. The Carnival HUB app should be used, interactive tv not up to par. A few people should be mentioned.. in the dinning room .. Hostess Inel, Waiters Vladamir and Somphop.. The crew In general, always with a smile and willing to help. The bad.. Getting on and off.. an organized failure... a general lack of event notification by the PA. The main showroom entertainment.. lacking, the singer's and dancers try their best and a couple are pretty good, but there is no production value. The cruise director Saffie.. I've read reviews mostly good, I have to disagree, if all a cruise dir has to do is to introduce events in the main showroom, she's tops, but if it involves keeping the travelers informed about all events she failed. The ports are what you make of them. The ugly.. casino has a lot of my money..But after all the above I would most likely sail on her again.
