Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was the best cruise ever. We were celebration our 50th anniversary. Every one on the ship were excellent , the performer were very talented. Overall this my best vacation.

Overall cruise was good. Only issue was the allowing of smoking in the casino. This is a major health hazard and makes it very difficult for a non smoker to participate. Please change your policies to prohibit ALL indoor smoking!!!

Very relaxing. We enjoyed the no stress. Our second cruise. First with carnival. Enjoyed it so much we booked another my husband enjoyed the hamburgers. I on the other hand only ate them once

Beautiful ship , Beautiful staff , Multiple dining areas and food choices. Fun , family involvement and comfortable. Plan your ports of call opputunnies . Put on a smile or you can borrow one ,Relax and enjoy. Don't forget the Funshops keep an open ear for upcoming bargains and sales.

On this ship, and I'm not sure if it was caused by weather, it swayed more than I ever felt. The waves were high and there were times when even liquid in a glass was sloshing around... I did enjoy my cruise

After reading some negative reviews of the Pride here, I had become concerned. I could not have been more surprised. I can say without a doubt that I will return to the Pride soon. Major public areas have been updated, the staff is wonderful (kuddos to Brandon, Cathy and Pablo), and the ports of call are a nice mix. I must say that dinner was better than I'd had on other Carnival cruises, and David's Steakhouse was world class. Dollar for dollar this was the best value cruise I've taken after cruising on 4 different ships.

We had a great time on the Carnival Pride. We departed on August 13 and went to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Freeport. I have done this itinerary before 7 times, this being my 8th. We had a group of 13 people ranging in age from 11 to 85. We all had a blast. Embarkation-Disorganized but once checked in, we boarded the ship immediately. Never have seen it this way before. Many people trying to cut in line and the security officers didn't do anything but ok. We all checked in separately and boarded. Ship-The ship is older but is kept clean by the hardworking staff. Everywhere you look, someone is cleaning. Love the upgrades that the ship now has like Guys Burgers and Bonsai Sushi. Room-We had an ocean suite, very roomy. Our room steward was nice but we didn't see him much. His name was Jomel and he always kept our room clean with nice towel animals. Service-The service was OUTSTANDING. Probably the best service out of all my cruises. Our dining room waiters (Denis, Stephens, and Putu) were the BEST. They had us laughing every night. As I said, our room steward was nice but we didn't see him much. Every worker said hi and smiled when you walked past. Milan at the blue iguana tequila bar on the lido is amazing. Always served us with a smile and remembered our order. The cruise director was nice. He was Brandon. The Fun Squad which had Conor, Zoe, Baby Jade, and Katie (that's all i saw, there could have been more). They were amazing, very funny and energetic Food-The dinning room was amazing. Very good food. Guys Burgers was great and so was Bonsai Sushi. Didn't go to the buffet, so I can't speak on that. Entertainment-I'm the person that likes to just sit by the pool so I was fine doing that. Although, I saw many activities in the FunTimes that could be fun but I can't speak on them specifically. Vanessa, a guitar soloist, was SO GOOD! I listened to her every night she was playing. Loved her. Ports-Grand Turk was amazing. Go to Margaritaville! Half Moon Cay was beautiful! My favorite beach. Freeport was meh. Just went to a few stores right off the boat and got back on. Club O2-My son went to the teen club. He liked it. In last year's, there was no activity schedule, and he prefers it that way. This year, there was a schedule which he thought was ok. The club director was great, he said. Debarkation-Very smooth. Off the hot at 9:30 and breezed through customs. I love to cruise and will continue to do so. I have only been on the Carnival Pride but have 2 next year on the new Carnival Horizon scheduled. So excited! I enjoy carnival but am not against trying other lines. Carnival just constantly offers me great value and convenience, with me living only 20 mins from the port of baltimore.

With my grand parents being diamond we got to go everywhere and meet everyone. Bingo was the best. Connor even helped get my grandma and Pop in the final show. Connor was just so nice and he was always walking around and always knew about everything

We did a $500 photo shoot on the ship got home to find out that the video to be used for our wedding is not in the thumb drive called Carnival they said it could take 2-3 weeks to get it straight totally disappointed

Bingo man connor was the best entertainer he stood out to everyone and I'd overhear everyone saying such nice things about him. Cleanliness and food tasted amazing.

This was our first family cruise as well as our first Carnival cruise. It definitely won't be our last. Everything exceeded expectations from the staff to the food to the entertainment. If I had one thing to complain about, it would be Freeport. We didn't enjoy the port. There wasn't anything to see without purchasing an excursion.

Already planning for next summer for our anniversary. I wish we could switch grand Turk with another port but whatever. We are stilL planning on returning

Had a wonderful week aboard the Pride. Service was amazing, food was great and seas were perfect. We enjoyed everything about the trip. Relax and enjoy yourself!

This was my first cruise and I traveled with my 10 year old daughter. We had such a special time - there was so much to do and so many experiences to have. I highly recommend this cruise for families who want to spend time together and have tons of fun!

I've been on the pride twice and I love it! It's such a fun ship and there is so much to do! You never get bored and there's stuff for everyone. The food is also really good and it's such a gorgeous ship!

Loved the casino. The casino staff was so friendly! The food was pretty good and the entertainment was fantastic! The first 2 ports were beautiful. I'll be back!

1st time cruising with Carnival, and I chose the wrong ship, lol. Service was great, food was good, entertainment was okay, but the appearance of the Pride showed her age a bit much. Cracked tiles, ripped rugs, so much paint chipping, rust, and a few holes because of the rust. But the worse part was the smell of industrial grease in the upper decks. Keep in mind I sailed the SS Norway in 2000 and the Enchantment of The Seas in 2013. Old ships, but their upkeep was par non.

Just got off the ship yesterday and we loved every minute. This was our 2nd time on the Pride. Once again, staff was great, Anthony the cruise director was amazing and we had such a blast!! Even though the menu hasn't changed in the Steak House from 2 years ago the food was still the best on the boat and definitely a must try! Looking forward to booking our 3rd cruise but thinking of trying the Horizon this time!!

My first Carnival cruise and a little bit disappointed not much to do and the shows are only half an hour and with the same 8 dancers/singers. The 2 first island beautiful, they need to retired the visit to Freeport is an industrial looking area and the only good thing they have is the shopping. I brought my daughter the soda package and Carnival still charge me on the private island for her soda when I been in Royal Caribbean and on the Private Island they never charge me. Keep an eye on your bill they charge extra when you buy some drinks and if you have the soda package keep an eye they charge you as well. I will do another Carnival but not the Pride I will do a bigger cruise.

It was enjoyable and worth the money. Wifi and phone access is extremely limited. The wifi / internet package was very limited even if you buy the premium package so it forces you to relax.
