For our 30th anniversary my wife and I decided to take the Mexican Riviera cruise. We did the 4 night Catalina, Ensenada cruise four years ago with our children on Carnival Ecstasy and had a good time so we thought we would stay with Carnival.
The Pride is a bigger, newer, and nicer ship than the Ecstasy. There are female nude pictures everywhere (not that I minded) which puzzled me since Carnival is kind of a family cruise line.
Our cruise was in May before school got out so as to minimize the amount of kids on board. There were still plenty on board but mostly kept under control.
