Review summary

Fantastic relaxing vacation, which is what we were looking for. We weren't looking for a lot of activity and this cruise was awesome.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Arrived at the port at 9:30 am and was on the ship at 10:30 am.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food in the MDR was outstanding. The buffet not so much, but it was still good. Guy's burgers were very good as usual.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Went to the comedy show once, meh. Enjoyed playing craps in the casino. Watched the Love & Marraige show. It was very entertaining.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Service staff was outstanding! The MDR wait staff were awesome and our cabin steward was as well.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship is showing some wear and tear but it's very clean. It's going into drydock soon so that should help.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin 7107 is the fowardmost balcony cabin on deck 7, starboard side. It's a standard balcony cabin with an interior cabin on the left side and another balcony cabin on the right side. The interior cabin can be adjoining as there is a door connecting the two.

Ship tip

Don't go in expecting all the bells and whistles of the megaships. I'm not a fan of the huge cruise ships so the Pride and other ships this size are best for me and those who prefer not to have too many people to deal with.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Priority disembarkation is awesome! Met in the MDR at 7:15 and was off the ship and in my car by 7:30. Home by 8:30. Doesn't get any better than that.

We were on the Pride for our honeymoon in 2013. We loved that ship!
