Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews - Reviews

It was a great cruise for a family and younger people.  The food was ok , but not fantastic.  We travel mostly Holland American so I cant measure it up to them.  We did have a good time with the family and the kids enjoyed it.

The ship is beginning to show it's age.  The crew was exceptional. The only thing that impressed us in the wrong way was the dining room main course.  Two times I had what was suppose to be Filet and each time it was the toughest meat I have ever received on a cruise and we have been on many cruises.  To add insult to injury, the dinner on the last knight was Prime Rib,  and guess what again toughest meat we had ever have.  All else was as expected.

How the ship was set up was good.  Cabin was nice. Food was fair to good. The outdoor movie was great.  Overall staff nice/pleasant.  Loved dancing at formal dinner nights. Wish had something more for teens 19 -23 yrs old

We totally enjoyed the cruise and wouldn't want to change anything.

The crew was dedicated to providing the best possible experience and went out of their way to help.  

Cruise was excellent, very relaxing and enjoyable, a memorable experience. Ship staff was very personable, accommodating and made sure all of our needs were met entirely at all times.

We enjoyed the 7 night cruise from Baltimore to Florida/Bahamas.  Ship was clean, rooms were just big enough (recommend extended balcony).  Food was better than I expected and entertainment was good.  

This was our first cruise.  Everything was perfect.  The room, shows,bands,singers and food was great.  The staff from the cruise director to the people maintaining the ship were fantastic.  They were hard working and helpful.  It is because of they this vacation was the best!

The Officers and Crew of the Pride were ALL WONDERFUL as was the ship. This was our 7th cruise on the Pride. We found the food to be very good and the selection was good. Rather than the buffet on Lido Deck, we are from the Deli and Bob's Burgers (delicious).

They froze my sign & sail account for 4 days. I couldn't buy anything.  They messed up. Really was a bad high school gift to my son. They said my account was negitive but the machines said it was $200 in the positive.  I wanted to book another one for October but not sure if I will.  Might even cancel the one I'm paying on for next year.   It was really that bad for me.  

Easy and fun, great job by Carnival! Cabin was always clean, food was really good and everyone was friendly. Baltimore also was great! would definitely do it again.

Favorite part of the cruise was not having to fly somewhere to arrive at the ship.  Sailing out of Baltimore was awesome.  However, all the people responsible for design the ship with a stateroom beneath a pub, to the decorator who decided not to carpet the pub (think chairs being dragged and bumped) to the party responsible for assigning a family with a 7 y.o. in the stateroom immediately beneath the pub, to the people at guest services who somehow 'forgot' we complained the first time, to housekeeping who has to move the chairs to clean,  I'm just not sure at 6 a.m.  ... all those people, and anyone else, should be made to sleep in Pride stateroom 1124 for a week of sailing.  And whoever makes the decision to turn off the water/lemonade/iced tea/ice machines and remove the cups from the pool deck at 8 p.m., even though the pool is open until 10 p.m.? should have to go without beverages for a twelve hour stretch.  And given how old the Pride is, I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to complain about these things.  And then disembarking via the tender, and at the end of the cruise ... took way longer than it should have.  Three hours to get everyone off the ship ... God help us if there had been an emergency. 

The good service and good food. Also a very nice and roomy cabin. I would recommend the cruise to others.  I would suggest a little more entertainment and a little less talk by the cruise director.

I thought the service was excellent and it was very clean. The staterooms were spacious and lovely. The food was also very good. There could have been more activities on the days at sea and the decor was a bit gaudy.

very nice cruise planned by cheap cruises rep. anne marie.   she thought of everything. suite was quiet and spacious. meals were heart smart.  only problem was how they boarded and bordered the handicapped in wheelchairs....they in the terminal acted like persons needing assistance were annoying...they boarded people in front of us that could walk and paid little attention to those with disabilities...they were chosen last....sad...

Great cruise with three great ports of call! I went on this cruise with 19 of my family members and we all had a great time.  Plenty if things for the kids to do, day and night camps, and many things for adults to do.  Great trivia games, great comedians at night and lots of shows and deck parties.  Shopping aboard the ship and shopping at each port of call. The food was fantastic in the main dining hall and in the buffet area.  Very helpful staff and the ship was always clean.  I would recommend this cruise to others. 

We had 18 family members and it was a great time to celebrate together. Grandkids enjoyed the kids' club, the pools, the excursions.  All had a good time together.

My wife and I loved Half Moon Kay:  Aqua-green, clear water, perfect weather, beautiful lagoon.  The snorkeling in the Grand Turks was first rate.  It was like watching the movie Finding Nemo. The guides took extra care of all the participants. The food on board was excellent - restaurant to buffet.  For Freeport I recommend the water excursions.  We enjoyed the comedy shows.  We're ready for the next cruise.  Carnival does it right.

Great cruise with wonderful weather.  My 12th time on the Carnival Pride since 2012.  I'll be back again!  The Steakhouse is great and well worth the $35 surcharge.  We ate there twice during the week.  I'm happy to see that Carnival is adding travel to Bermuda for the Pride.  The staff on the Pride are incredible.  Some of the hardest working and nicest people I've ever encountered.

First time cruising on Carnival for my husband and I. The trip was absolutely perfect.  From the time we left Baltimore until we returned, everything was enjoyable.  Our stateroom was immaculate and very spacious.  Service was impeccable.  The entire staff could not assist us enough whenever we asked.  There were only a few things that could be improved; a section of the casino set aside for non-smokers would be good.  Also, as my husband is not a coffee drinker, it was impossible for him to get a cola before 9 AM in the morning.  There should be some way that non-coffee drinkers could be accommodated for their morning caffeine.

Our last cruise was over 20 years ago so we were not sure what to expect.  However, we were very impressed with our Carnival Pride cruise from Baltimore to the Bahamas.  The ship is beautiful and very clean.  The entire crew was so friendly, helpful, and always smiling.  Our room steward, Domingo, was so attentive....we loved him!  The food in the dining room rated 4* in our opinion.....an extensive menu variety, delicious, always with a beautiful presentation.  We were extremely fortunate to "discover" the dining crew led by Zarrah and assisted by George and Made.  They were the very best, so friendly, fun,and attentive.   We always asked to be seated in their section when dining.  The Lido deck had a wide variety to choose from for casual dining.  The only negative was that most stations closed in the evening so for late (after 11pm) snacks we had our choice of pizza and ice cream.  However, even the crew needs time off, so it did not really bother us.   Entertainment varied and there was always something to do.  Our favorite was the comedy club, which featured shows both PG and R rated shows.
