	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview No sleep = No fun by John H from Harrisburg PA Sailing date: Jan 2013 Pros: Inexpensive Cons: Being kept up until 1AM every night Ship was nice enough appearance-wise. One big problem though: Our stateroom was located very close to a bar that had a live rock band playing until 1AM almost every night. Being kept awake by the musical stylings of Journey and Skynard night after night, coupled with the staff dragging furniture around (HONNNNNNKKKK) at 6AM pretty well ruined the trip. I've never had a problem like this on other cruise lines. The layout of the common/entertainment areas and/or the sound insulation is terrible. The guest services desk offered us complimentary earplugs which did nothing, and later offered to refund 20% of our cruise price. That helps, but I would have much preferred to pay the price that I agreed to and get a decent night of sleep. We really missed out on doing much of anything fun in port becuase we were both exhausted. Another minor beef: Carnival automatically applies the customary tip amounts to your on-board card account. This is done on the second day of the cruise, so at that point, how do I really know if anybody deserves a better (or not so great) tip? Secondly, how do I know if the people serving me are getting that tip or if the cruise line is taking a big chunk of it? I much prefer to hand them cash at the end of the week. Ship Details: Ship Quality It's a good looking ship to not sleep on. Dining/Food Pretty standard cruise ship fare. Stateroom Quality Larger than we've experienced with other cruise lines. A bit worn, but servicable. A nice place to hang out and not sleep. Ship Staff Quality Average Entertainment & Activities Mediocre. The main theatre exclusively featured the "carnival pride dancers" which wasn't really my thing. Comedians in the comedy club were OK. Kind of missed the variety acts that other cruise lines feature - magicians, ventriloquist, etc. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Awful, just awful by Tracey P from Pittsburgh, PA Sailing date: Sep 2010 Pros: Freeport, Bahamas Cons: Carnival We had a terrible time on this boat. First, when we got to the room, we found long black hairs on the bed. My hair is blonde and my boyfriends is short. We called to have the room cleaned again but still found a hotdog bun under the bed and the hairdryer was covered in grease. At the restaurant one evening, the arm of my chair fell off and scratched my arm. The staff didn't even offer me another chair or apologize!!! Neither did anyone at the front desk. Terrible all around Ship Details: Ship Quality NOt a bad layout except that the restaurant is over the engine room so you shake around alot. The ship DID have a waterslide, but we never got to use it. We were told that it opened once when we were in port but who would want to stay on the boat? Dining/Food The food waas actually really good. We just didn't always get it on time. Stateroom Quality I think the room would have been pretty nice if it had been clean Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities We liked the comedy show a lot. And we met some really nice people in the casino Read this user's port of call reviews: Freeport, Grand Bahama Island; Grand Turk Island Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Freeport, Grand Bahama Island Visited Viva Wyndham and finally got to snorkel!!! The wyndham people were wonderful. I recommend skipping the cruise and just going there Grand Turk Island We really liked Grand Turk! Swimming in the ocean and exploring the beach. Too bad they cancelled our excursion to snorkel with stingrays Don't Miss: I wouldn't know. My excursion was cancelled 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 4 - 6 cruises Traveler Type: Group Stateroom Type: Oceanview I have had better! by Millie W from Ann Arbor, Mi and England Sailing date: Dec 2012 Pros: Piano Bar and Trivia Cons: Shows The shows were awful. The dancers were ok but the musicals were difficult to sit through and so we either left or did not attend. I did not like the assistant to the cruise director and this was not as good as other cruises I have been on. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities There are so many talented singers in the world, why not contract with some real singers. If felt like we had to suffer through a bad highschool musical where the only persons enjoying the show were the parents. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Suite it was a ok getaway by James Burke from Delaware Sailing date: Jan 2012 Cons: the ship just seemed dark and old, entertainment was very hard to find alot of clubs but nothing going on other than the 2 major clubs at night the ship seemed to be decorated using the titanic motif very dark and Victorian style but seemed extremely dated Ship Details: Ship Quality the ship was clean just very dated and we are not big par tiers but nothing to do at all in any of the smaller bars its like they cut the entertainment staff in half Dining/Food we have cruised many of the other lines NCL and Royal Caribbean we have heard all kinds of war stories about carnival but thought lets give it a try and it was just as we heard its the mc donalds of the cruise lines the food was just food nothing to stand out. Stateroom Quality Room very clean and nice we did have a suite and it was very nice the room staff were great Ship Staff Quality the staff were great just as any other cruise we have ever taken they are very personal Entertainment & Activities Board to death. Comedy show great Variety show great but its only at night for 1 to 2 hours the rest of the time on the ship was very lame a lot of different clubs and bars but no entertainment did they lay off half the staff? 5 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

We will never cruise with Car by Jim from USA Sailing date: Sep 2006 Pros: It has no best feature. This ship is only great for people who want to party and pick up partners. As far as being a well balanced cruise with quality entertainment, sets, friendly staff...."2 thumbs down". Ship Details: Entertainment & Activities Entertainment: Entertainment was cheesy and very poor "old Vegas style". Lame sets and entertainment. This is why we will not return to this cruise line. 4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Family w/young children Stateroom Type: Balcony Had a great time by Temica G from Upper Marlboro, MD Sailing date: May 2013 Pros: Unlimited Food! Cons: Cabing room temperature The ship was far bigger than I expected. This was my husbands and I's first ever cruise and we were very impressed with the staff and attentiveness of the smallest details Ship Details: Ship Quality Loved the towel animals and chocolates on the bed each night. Dining/Food So many options!!!! I loved the chocolate bar on the last night! We traveled with our 20month old son and he loved the chicken tenders! Stateroom Quality 2 words.... TOWEL ANIMALS! Loved them! They were so cute and the house keeping team cleaned diligently each night! Ship Staff Quality Everyone and I do mean EVERYONE went out of their way to greet you and make you feel at home. They were all so very wonderful I was actually choking back tears when I was leaving because I actually felt like I was leaving "friends". Entertainment & Activities The activities were ok. There's just only so much trivia and bingo you can play while on a ship. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony A Medicore Cruise by A Traveler from cleveland ohio Sailing date: May 2013 Pros: going out of Baltimore Cons: Always felt like someone was trying to sell something or looking for a tip Ship was a little old and tired looking could use some sprucing up. Nothing about the ship was very impressive just average Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Food was good in restaurant not so much at breakfast buffet when we had an issue in the restaurant the staff over corrected and made us feel sorry we had ever even mentioned anything Stateroom Quality Our room steward didn't always check balcony for dishes just did a medicore job maintaining room Entertainment & Activities Very disappointed in the variety of shows too many musicals got boring we did however enjoy the comedy shows. Was hoping for a higher quality of entertainment 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 65+ Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Family w/older children Stateroom Type: Balcony To paradise and back by Jackie R. from Baltimore. MD Sailing date: May 2013 Pros: Staff and service. Cons: Paying $120 to hire a wheelchair, didn't realize how far it was to walk from cabin to elevators.. The Pride is an older ship and beginning to show her age but that did not detract from the many amenities and services provided. Our junior suite was huge and had everything in the way of creature comforts and more than enough storage space. Our cabin steward Puto was wonderful and nothing was too much trouble for him or his colleagues. The on board entertainment was really good and Kirk and his chuckle buddies were hilarious. The dining room staff and service were exceptional as was the food, vast range to choose from to please every palate. I loved the fact that after the first day, the staff knew our names and it made you feel like a part of the Carnival family. Sometimes the simplest plans gave one the most pleasure, sitting on my balcony, surrounded by that vast ocean with a tropical drink in one hand and a good book in the other was perfection indeed. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Such a small thing, but the covers on the two stateroom chairs were tatty and in need of replacing.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Bahamas Cruise by Sherri S from IL Sailing date: Mar 2013 Pros: Hanging with our friends at senior frogs in Nassau Cons: The rocky night at sea, several broken dishes, tvs, delayed 2 hours on return and I felt the passengers that needed to get to the airport should have had priority since we were already 2 hours late. This was our second time on the Pride. It was ok. The staff in the dining room and our room steward were awesome! However, the customer service was not as good as it was back in 2004. I felt like the ship was understaffed. Saturday evening on our way back to Baltimore we had 30 mile per hour winds with 15 ft waves. The ship was very rocky and several coffee cups, liquor bottles and glasses and even a few tv's broke. Our friends wine glasses broke and shattered all over their bed and the floor in their stateroom. The called guest services twice and were told someone would be there. Nobody showed up and they had to clean up the broken glass themselves. They even slept on some glass because they missed a few pieces. That should not have happened. They should have pulled employees from the bars if necessary. It seemed all they cared about was getting people to drink up and spend money. This was my 7th Carnival cruise and it may very well be the last.

Stateroom Quality Again, the ship has been used Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities I was disappointed in the Vegas style shows and the staff run activities were often inappropriate. At one show the man on stage was talking to a 4 year old and when she didn't respond he said "are you deaf?" Totally inappropriate. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
