We went on the Pride shortly after coming out of dry-dock and boarded in Tampa, we have gone out of this port a couple of times before and had no problem on embarkation, the VIP check in is smooth and prompt. This Sunday we arrived about 10 AM and had to wait for several hours since there had been heavy fog that night and the ship could not dock on time, we finally got aboard around 2 PM and as usual went to the Lido deck to refuel.
Another reviewer mentioned his only praise on his trip were the restaurant and the cabin crews and he was right. After traveling with Carnival many times we had noticed the slowly direction of getting less and less for your money and on this trip they reached rock bottom.
The first give away was as soon as we hit the cabin, went into the bathroom and on their "welcome" basket instead of the previous toothpaste, lotions and other samples there were two dental flossers, very impressive, after that it went downhill all the way.
The cabin was two decks above the theater and you could hear the blasting on three nights.Otherwise was the usual Carnival inside cabin, everything was working and we had an excellentcabin crew service.
