Review summary

Pride is an older ship but she’s in good shape. The crew make this ship. Find Edwin the bartender and tell him we sent you. Gupta on the Lido deck as well!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy does it. Used valet parking at the terminal with no issue $125. Had everything in order and the process was a breeze to get on. Many platinum guests angry that suite guests “bumped” them to get on the ship, but it doesn’t matter to me as long as I’m onboard when it leaves port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MDR was great except on last night and it was a bit of a letdown for a Christmas Dinner. Sadly, never tried the buffet. Guys Burgers never disappoints nor does Blue Iguana!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Missed The Quest game, but understand why it isn’t being done in Covid times. Lots of trivia, digital scavenger hunt, and fun things to do.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
I’m not usually a fan of the shows so no change here. The 80s one was good however!

Service and Staff

We snorkeled with the Jolly Roger Catamaran. Used to having tunes jamming, but not on this ship. Par for the course, nothing special.

I hate the shuttle in, but we always go swim with the Sharks and Rays at The Split. The shuttle ride in is 40 minutes and then the boat ride to The Split is 45 so be prepared.

Cozumel, Mexico

Dolphinaris VIP - pay the extra money and get better food and service and more time with the dolphins.

Disembarkation
