Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Meh... it was decent. Steakhouse not worth the extra money

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Really the most boring ship I've ever been on. Cruise director is nonexistent

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Not much to talk about...

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Staff was hit or miss... room steward... just don't his job..not interested in talking to you. Had 2 great waiters ...the rest were like robots. I miss the fun of it!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Its pretty, unique, not much to do. It is an older smaller ship... just a bit boring. Definitely clean always cleaning!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Balcony on deck 8... typical cabin. No complaints

Ship tip

This ship is rather old and not very exciting. They NEVER play music at the pool (only when scheduled event)....but there is ALWAYS music playing in the buffet...?!

Just got off Pride today (Jan 8). I liked the ship but agree with this review. Did NOT like the cruise director Frankie! And the comedy "host" Martin was extremely rude.

I had a horrible experience too, but that was before COVID.

I was on the Pride back in September, was her first sailing after Covid. The service and food was terrible but the entertainment was good. I agree she is getting old, I sailed on her back in 2005 and really not much has changed since then. I don’t remember our cruise directors name but was probably the same guy, and I agree.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Unfortunately with the virus spreading most entertainment is non-existing.

Why are you doing back to back on the ship you obviously don’t like
