Review summary

This was our first cruise for all of us. I traveled with my three teenage children as well as my mother. We were very impressed with the level of service that we received. All of the Carnival employees, from the room stewards to the wait staff to the entertainment crew were extremely friendly and provided exceptional service! Food, entertainment and our cabin were all great as well! We would definitely cruise with Carnival again.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward (Ketut) was great. He kept our room clean, made sure we had everything that we needed & told us he was available anytime should we need anything. In the Normandie room, Mohammed & his team were fantastic. All three of them went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant experience every evening.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
ship was very clean and well-maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was our first cruise and the size of the room was actually much bigger than we had expected. We were very pleased with the comfort of the beds & the cabin was very clean.

Ports of call

Baltimore, Maryland

5 out of 5
This port was very easy to drive to from New York.

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Excellent, this was by far our favorite excursion. We really enjoyed the beach. BBQ lunch was very nice.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We went to Atlantis to see the aquarium. This was the favorite part of the trip for my 16 year old son.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

3 out of 5
a little disappointed with this port, as it basically was just for shopping. We were not there long enough to do an excursion and there were no beach areas to visit near the port

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Once our area was called, we were off the boat and through security much quicker than we expected

I like when multiple generations cruise together, and everyone has a good time.

The pride was the first cruise ship I was ever on. It's the ship that got me hooked.

Same experience we had last year. We booked another cruise (in 9 days) the day after we got back. lol
