Review summary

This one by far is our favorite cruise. So happy to be sailing again!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Port of Baltimore was very easy to embark from. Very organized and quick process. Only drawback is that never ending “S” ramp you have to walk up to board. So be prepared if you are not checking your baggage.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Plenty of food venues to choose from. You won’t go hungry. We usually enjoy the MDR of the evenings but this cruise we ate in there 4 out of 13 evenings. Lido just appealed to us more this go round. Service was excellent in both venues.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Our CD, Frankie and the Fun Squad really made this cruise so much more fun! They were amazing. They absolutely were full of energy and were just all around just happy and pleasant to be around. Never intrusive or off putting, no excuses for not being happy on this trip.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Loved the comedy shows! JeRome was the best! Hope to see him on our future sailings.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Truly 100% attentive and very happy to be back. Always greeting you with a smile and constantly offering to bring you a beverage, more food, etc. So pleasant and just all around happy to be back to work.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Even though the Pride is starting to show her age she was kept spotless. Again, the crew were outstanding!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Nice extended balcony for the two of us. Size and cleanliness were fine. Will be much better when she is upgraded in 2024.

Ship tip

Enjoy the staff, relax and let them take care of you. Don’t be shy about joining in on the fun with Frankie and the Fun Squad!
