Loved the Pride. Smaller ship but service was superior. I have sailed on Royal Caribbean Norwegian Disney and Regent Seas. Carnival Pride compares favorably with them. Sailing on Norwegian Escape August 11. Interesting to see how a huge ship compares to the smaller Pride.

Food and Dining

Only ate at main dining room. Food was fantastic. Different menu every night. Only went to buffet to bring food back to our place at the pool. Buffets were always crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Spacious. Traveled with daughter and two granddaughters. Lots of storage.
We stayed two days before cruise in Baltimore and went to inner harbor. Loved it. We did the Aquarium the ships and a cruise of the inner harbor. Ate at Phillips Seafood. A must for everyone. Also ate at Tir Na Nog an “Irish Pub”. Great bar food.
The wife and I have been on the Pride before, took 2 cruise newbies with us. We all had a blast, so much so we have another cruise booked on her for September.
As for the NCL Escape, it’s a beautiful vessel and we thoroughly enjoyed our time on her as well.
What I’ve found is as long as I’m not at work any cruise can be wonderful. Keep expectations realistic and you’ll never be disappointed!
