Just got back from our third time on the Pride . the ship is showing some wear but I was told it is getting an over hall next month . The Food on Lido deck at breakfast is just basic although you can get eggs made to order you get the same thing every morning except some meats are different also there is a fruit bar. The buffet lunch is different each day and you can get Deli sand witch or pizza out by the pool you can get hotdogs and hamburgers ,fry's , chili. Did not go to main dinning room at all so can not comment on it except to say I saw that you can now pay extra ( $20 ) for some special foods to be made from Davids restaurant, We did not go there ether.
They now have a coffee area on lido that cost extra ( $4-$8) All the sales and clearance sales they have are the same every week . There seems to be a lot of time that nothing is going on and also the buffets close down a lot of the time now. I think it is so the crew can get ready for the Main dining room people because you don't see a lot of them around the ship when the dinners are going on. If you buy duty free cigarettes when you get off it cost you $10 for each carton except 1 is free. The store on the ship sells them in 5 carton gift boxes so add $40 to the cost of the gift box. Port excursions are getting very expensive try to find something on your own before you leave home if you want to save money. Spa...WOW $$$$$$$$$ enough said. Don't really understand the whole pro pictures everyone gets Very Very over priced. I can see one or two but why spend so much time and money on pictures you can get right down the road from your house. Tips are $80.50 per person for a 7 day cruise and they auto charge your account on the second day for this. If you get really good service you can add to this . Also you can go down and remove it from your account if you want to give the tips out personally but you can not stop it from happening . There was Always chair hogs on serenity deck and small Hot tub .
very nice room, didn't use mini bar , $6-$7 shot and 15% restocking fee..Jeez
