Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall a nice experience with Carnival for our large party of 20. Nice value and wonderful ports on a shorter cruise. Food was above average and good variety.

AMAZING IS THE ONLY WORD to describe it so fun and enjoyable

It was everything and more we envisioned for our family vacation! It was a first for the kids and they had so much fun! Thank you for the fun atmosphere and great service and food! We have kids from 5-23 and there was something for everyone!

We love carnival and will remain dedicated to the Funship brand and we had a great time on Pride but for future cruises we’re not sure if we want to go bigger or stay with the smaller ships.

Bucket list check off, the Panama Canal. It was everything that I expected. Loved it.

I just returned back to the USA from the United Kingdom on the Carnival Pride. The ship broke down shortly roughly one hour from departing Kiel, Germany. GPS coordinates We just broken down somewhere in the Baltic sea. Our last coordinates 54°36.95' N 010° 08' E with a course heading 321° speed 0.1 kts. Carnival Pride attempted to make the repairs at the mentioned coordinates (middle of the Baltic sea) for 24 hours set draft during the evening hours on Tuesday, July 18, 2023. Carnival Pride was set to embark to Sweden (Goteborg). Carnival Pride failed attempts to make repairs. The Germany officials (Kiel) towed the Pride vessel back to Germany. Carnival in a short turn around period managed to shuttle some 1200 passengers from Kiel, Germany back to the UK. Carnival promised to put guest up in hotels and to provide transportation from Stansted London Airport to the hotel closest to get our previous scheduled departure flights. We'll, Carnival dropped the ball on transportation from Stansted London Airport to our hotel (London Heathrow Airport Hotel). This left many frustrating passengers now stuck with making arrangements to get over to the hotel. Keeping this matter in prospective, it is now July 21, 2023 in the early morning hours at Stansted London Airport. My son and I traveled by Uber to the Heathrow Airport Hotel which was a two hours drive. To say the least that the hotel was a "zoo" as many others from the Carnival Pride ship started arriving. Carnival Pride offered the guest many of the perks such as basic free wi-fi, prorated one-day refund, and 25% future cruise credit. Other items Carnival Pride extended other deals such as not adding gratuities from Thursday forward. Gratuities is the subject of discussion for another day. In short, 24 hours before leaving the ship, simply request to have all your gratuities removed from your Sign-n-Sail account. I say all this because from a risk management experience Carnival did a damn fine job addressing the risk assessment while keeping the focus on customer satisfaction. Carnival Pride receives a (F) grade for not keeping to their commitment to transportation from the airport to the hotels.

Was an ok trip till we got stuck in the Baltic Sea. Getting us off the ship was terrible. Not informing enough info to us

Was probably the worse cruise I have been on with Carnival. Food and service could have been a lot better. Not a lot to do on sail days

Was a great cruise. Everyone had a great time and want to go again. Not sure what is going on with the money we won (or lost) at the Casino.

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

I had a nice vacation this cruise. Spent too much time in the casino, so hoping I'll get some good casino offers for my next cruise. Came home sick though😷😣

This was a Panama Canal Cruise. We had a great time and it was definitely something cool/different. As a couple in our mid-30, we were predominantly surrounded by guests in their 60s+. Very quiet, calm boat!

It was a nice cruise. There was nothing outstanding, but also nothing to cause consternation.

Loved the Dr Seuss breakfast. Food was good but not as good as some other cruise lines. Room service was not that great.

First time with carnival cruise. Wasn’t very enthusiastic about the ship itself. The adult area was over run with teenagers and entertainment was hit or miss. Can’t fault them for the weather but they need to upgrade their entertainment for days like that, trivia is cool but not hours on end of it.

The staff on Carnival is always very friendly, the ship was clean as they usually are and the drinks were delicious.

The ship is very dated and you can tell it's the C level entertainment staff on board, but the itinerary is worth it. Just plan for your own entertainment onboard and wouldn't really recommend for young families, but it's clean and the food is good and the ports are must see places.

We enjoyed our cruise. The 25-hour days were a plus as we gained hours crossing east to west. Sea days were good to relax and catch up from busy touring days.

A good Cruise overall. Be ready for those days at sea, though, as you are onboard more than in port.

We really enjoyed our cruise to the Panama Canal.
