Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a worthy 2nd cruise for us. We had some prior experience and were excited to try a different cruise line. We enjoyed our time away and found quite a bit to do on the ship itself to keep us busy. Our 2 excursions were terrific. The service and staff were amazing, even if the food and drinks were "just" good. The steakhouse was worth the extra cost, but the Bubbles drink package probably wasn't.

There's a lot that can be improved; but in general it is a fun experience and will do it again.

Great affordable getaway. A great gift for someone first time sailling

I was on Royal Caribbean last year. When we dock I cried. I hated to get off the boat. Carnival was so terrible we couldn't wait to get home. I've never had rude bartenders at bars like in the lobby and the pool. And I don't drink a lot. Getting off was a nightmare. Never again. Glad to get away from that nasty smell too.i saw they rated me a 3.2 that was too high. At the most 2.5.

A lot of improvements could be made but my group made the best of it

This was our first experience with Carnival and will probably be our last. The best part of the trip was meeting new people. Unimpressed with the ship, staff, and overall cleanliness.

The cruise was overall very nice and we will definitely consider Carnival Cruise line again.

Wonderful cruise. Easy ship to learn. The food and drinks are plentiful and not over crowded.

It would have been nice to know that since we embarked in Norfolk, VA, rather than Baltimore, MD, that our drink package was not covered because of VA law. We felt ripped off.

Fantastic food and service, most comedians were good, itinerary was excellent. Carnival handled the Baltimore port closure well, providing buses from Norfolk to Baltimore, and issuing $100 per cabin of onboard credit.

You get what you pay for! Carnival has changed so much over the years, and sadly not for the good.

Loved the cruise, the week went by too quickly! One caveat, we were disappointed that the galley (kitchen facilities) and bridge tours were no longer offered, as Platinum-Level guests we always enjoyed seeing those areas.

Overall a good family cruise with a variety of ports and activities for everyone.

Enjoyed our cruise to Panama. The ship is a good size, not too big and not too small. Lots of great places to sit and people watch or read. The staff went over and above. You can tell that a number of things have been cut back, but still enjoyed our time away.

This was a very enjoyable experience and trip. Carnival Pride was a wonderful ship

Absolutely love the turtle center. The 7 mile beach was so full it was too find a spot to sit. And I wish the driver would let us have more time in Hell because he only gave us about 10 minutes which wasn't long enough

All in all, we had a very nice cruise, met different people when we said we would like to share a table for our dinner meal. Very enjoyable.

We will be back on the Pride if it goes back to the Eastern Caribbean. More options than Western Caribbean.

• Tampa is a great port of departure. The Pride is a great ship if you don’t care for the large crowds, & it’s a great social ship since you constantly see people you meet onboard about twice a day. The length of the cruise with the great itinerary destinations is one of our favorites for this anniversary cruise. Hotels in Orlando are plentiful & cheap, so you can save on travel costs. If you’re looking for a fun & relaxing cruise, I would certainly recommend this one!

A lot of time on the boat - rough seas and didn't learn much about the Panama Canal.
