Carnival Pride - Reviews

We had to dodge the hurricane and the crew did a great job keeping us posted of changes. Was rocky starting out but after the first day we never knew there was a category 5 hurricane to the west of us.

I'm disappointed with this cruise. Carnival makes it name on being family friendly and I do not believe they held up to that at all. The ship had some repair issues and there were some very unfriendly staff members. The food quality and variety left a lot to be desired. We did however enjoy our dining team (Dejan and Saber) very much as well as the Fun Crew (in particular Anthony). I don't think I'd be recommending going on any Carnival ship at this point, especially if you have little ones.

This ship surprised us with quality of food and casual dining. The experience totally changed our opinion of Carnival

This was our first cruise and the ages of our party were 53, 22 and 18. The activities were appropriate for these age groups. The comedy club was entertaining. The app and What's Happening was a great way to keep informed on ship activities.

This was a great adventure and vacation. So many things for family members to do, but not so many that they could enjoy together. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Getting on and off the ship was easy even with 2 wheel chairs. The food was tasty and well prepared. The Caribbean experience delightful. The only disappointment was meal time with a party of 9, the time we hoped would be the most enjoyable family time. Every dinner experience was stressful. However, the staff were friendly and worked to help us enjoy our time on their ship. The age of our party ranged from 8 to 88.

We were highly satisfied with this cruise; it actually exceeded expectations. Our pleasant surprises were the excellent food (albeit with somewhat limited vegetarian options), and the terrific entertainers in the evening shows. Dr. E, the cruise director, was easily the best we've seen. He's talented, funny and engaging.

Overall, we had a good time. The food, entertainment, and staff were great. The balcony cabin we had was fine for the three of us, and our room steward (Kadek) was great at his job. We enjoyed eating at Normandie restaurant and Guy's Grill the most. For my taste, there were too many people on board, causing difficulty finding a lounge chair by the pool and even a spot to get in the water. The buffet restaurants were very busy and loud, but ran smoothly and had good food. Overall, a good trip, with some "bumps in the road" that come with every journey.

Awesome trip wish we had an extra day at halfmoon cay. Food was excellent this time

Great cruise, just be warned it is an older ship. Still lots of fun things to do and good food. Decently clean for an older ship.

this was my retirement celebrations. The youngest member of our party was 23 and the oldest 68. We all enjoyed every minute of this cruise.

We sailed to Bermuda 15 years ago on Norwegian out of Philadelphia. This was a much bigger ship and had many more amenities and we love not having to fly. We love the downtime at sea since there is so much to do on the ship. Some additional feedback based on our opinions: - Internet was overpriced but there were a few options to choose - Carnival Hub app should include the Chat feature for free ($5/person) - Taj Mahal theater was very comfortable and good line of sight - Nightclub only went from 11pm to 1am so we never got there; maybe start at 10pm - Dinner celebration at Normandie with Sinatra songs and staff dancing was a lot of fun - Port and ship photographers were annoying and aggressive; don't make eye contact - TV map was nice feature to know where you were sailing but make part of Hub app - Include water temp with sea depth on TV map - Deck and balcony chairs make a lot of noise - The only areas that could use some more cleaning attention was fitness center and public bathrooms; notice seats and floor were usually very clean but stall walls and doors were not - Jazz band should play more than 30 minute set or have a night of all jazz - Draft beers were good but only three options - IPA, Amber, Belgian Wheat

We had a great week on our Carnival Cruise! Great food, hard working staff and crew, plenty of scheduled activities on the boat, fun excursions and we met some great fellow cruisers on our trip! Can’t wait to cruise again! We definitely recommend the hospitality that Carnival offers!

I loved the entire cruise. I would have like to have had parasailing as one of the excursions.

It was a fun relaxing cruise and overall met expectations despite a few complaints. I would sail with Carnival again, but I like the Carnival Magic experience better.

Thank you for a pleasant first cruise with my family!

This was our first cruise ever and it was the most memorable vacation all due to the wonderful staff and excellent overall experience. Will definitely be cruising with Carnival Pride again in the future!

A CRUISE IS A GREAT WAY TO TRAVEL. NO WORRIES , NO COOKING, CLEANING. LOTS OF ACTIVITIES ON SHIP. REALLY DO NOT HAVE TO LEAVE SHIP.

This was a nice cruise. It is always nice when you have a great steward, which we did not. There should have been more shows in the Theater. The buffet needs to change up the variety of foods each day (not all places but some) and the Private Island should give free alcohol to people who paid for the drink packages.

All my photos are on my phone or I would share them. I LOVE Build A Bear - I wish I would have known before hand. Also I would like to have known ahead of time that there was going to be a Veteran's Group get together, we would have brought more Military type t-shirts to wear. The photo people should have a mirror near by - I don't know how many pics I didn't purchase because my hair wasn't right or something like that. All my other comments are above. I hope that helps. Please contact me if you want to.

It was an interesting cruise, in that there was a variety of people from different parts of the east coast. You could tell there were locals on board. Still people came from all over.
