Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Second time on Pride, we will go again. I just wish they would change where it goes. STAY AWAY from cabin 8237, great size, but galley right overhead. We hardly slept every night and had to sleep during the day.

We traveled as a group of seven, and we each enjoyed the trip and the ship in different ways. We always had dinner together and shared how we spent our days. We enjoyed being together, and our separate activities. We made many good family memories which was the goal of the cruise! I'd like to make special mention of two of the photographers, Alexander from Belaruse & Alina from Romania. They did a fabulous job of photographing our family; no easy feat getting 7 people to look good consistently AND they were so much fun to be around!!! We also have to give a special mention to our Captain Alessandro Galotto. He runs a very competent and Happy ship!! A fun and happy crew goes a long way in setting a fun atmosphere for the cruisers. Also special mention to Jaques. the hotel manager. He is a joy to work with as well as a nice person!

The entertainment, food and service was very good. The poor Wi-Fi service and the noisy vibrating cabin was disappointing. We complained about the cabin and they blamed the waves. I've been on over ten cruises and never had a cabin vibrate so badly causing two sleepless nights. I'm hoping in some compensation for this.

We had a great time after learning the particulars and nuances of the ship. There are a lot of children on the ship but we were able to find some time to ourselves. It is certainly not an adult cruise. The Serenity area saved the day although a larger area would have been great. The port of Baltimore was easy to navigate and saved a lot of travel time.

Relaxing and fun. Lots to do, great food, fun for all. Just let go and have a blast.

Overall, we got what we paid for. Will think long and hard before taking another Carnival cruise again. The entertainment portion was less than advertised. The shows came across as "pushy" instead of really entertaining. Maybe the folks were just tired or not into it. One can tell when entertainers are focused on their themselves instead of the audience. Just an observation. Please take as a constructive comment. We are not being critical of the talent of the staff.

It is very difficult for me to accurately sum up my experience with Carnival Pride. There were a lot of things I really enjoyed. Such as, Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and all the activities on board, the entertainment and the DJ. However, I think the things I didn't like outweigh the things I enjoyed. Such as, visiting Freeport, the deck parties that were no more than line dancing lessons and twerking contests, and the way Carnival nickel and dimes their passengers. They are constantly selling, from the time I stepped on board, jewelry, art, they were selling shots in the dining room during our meals! On Half Moon Cay we were charged for floaters and covering for the beach chairs. I half expected someone to approach me and ask for payment to sit on an uncovered beach chair. I may try another Carnival Cruise. But I will probably not sail on the Pride again. In any case, I plan to travel on another non Carnival Ship on my next cruise.

Great service, & friendly staff. In main dining room , our waiters Roy, & Claudio we’re the Best!! Also wld like to metion the Waitress Sawan, Who was soooo sweet, & friendly. These people made r trip very Memorable !!!!!!

Would not recommend this ship. Design is outdated and they need more ports to stop at and for longer periods of time. To much ship time.

I was very disappointed in the poor condition of the suite and balcony. Paint chips everywhere - stained clothes/skin when laying out. Damaged furniture, refrigerator, closet, tub drain/jets, etc. in the room. Some repairs made when requested. The staff was nice and accommodating. A real disappointment for my first suite experience. Thankfully the excursions were awesome - and improved the experience.

Fantastic ports, but my kids got bored in the ship (ages 5 and 8).

We had a nice time. My only complaint was we didn't spend enough time on the islands.

A great week away ! Wonderful weather, loved our balcony room and our room steward was absolutely amazing !!! Our sit down dining was a long wait every night !! Even when we would split up ! Great selection of foods BUT most food was not served hot !

Great trip, I took my one year old, she very much enjoyed everything. No kids activities, but has plenty to entertain her....

Nothing to complain about. Awesome is the only word I can use for the first and the best cruise of our life.

I enjoyed every bit of of the cruise. Lots of food, entertainments were on time. Not over crowded. Staff were lovely and acknowledges your presence. Over all we loved it.

Staff was excellent. Food in the dining room was good. Steakhouse was overpriced but excellent service. Had to divert from Grand Turk to Nassau due to medical emergency which was disappointing. Lots of fun activities onboard. Cruise director Leigh was great. Wish there was no smoking in the casino.

We had a great time! The shows in the Taj Mahal were so much fun! I will say though our down time during the night was spent in the Red Frog (bar) listening to wonderful live music. The 4 piece band "Shipworthy" Led by the sexy front man Misha, the cool Barielle (Sauce) drummer, Nathan lead guitar and Josh the hidden head banger on Bass. How do I know all there names? We saw them many times on board and they were so gracious in signing our log book and just being friends. What a talent all four of them were. We found that the staff aside from our newly found friends where very sociable, quite nice and willing to take some time to answer our questions. The lady caring for our quarters (Jessica) was especially nice, would take a moment to share with us and give us guidance. Really the whole staff was quite wonderful if you took a moment to communicate. There is a lot to talk about, I could be writing for a while. I had lots of fun and didn't need a vacation from my Vacation.

This was my very first cruise. So satisfied with the entire week! The ship was excellent, so much to do or just relax in the serenity area. Would definitely cruise on carnival again. The ports were excellent choices, we enjoyed everything the entire week. Can’t wait to do it again!
