Carnival Pride Review

Additional details
My cruise experience has been with Carnival Elation to the Mexican Riveria in 2000 and to Alaska with Celebrity cruise line, the Galaxy in 1998. Both times I was with my mom and dad. What great experiences! The entertainment and staff/crew were so friendly. The food was excellent and the nightlife was a blast. I hardly hung out with my parents. I met many people on the ship and there was so much to do. This years experience is a bit different.
The Pride is a beautiful ship and quite large. This ship was set up differently. The casino, theater, dining room and bars were all on the lower decks, Deck 2 and 3. Most of the rooms were between Deck 4-8. Our room had a balcony which was a nice change from the other cabins we have stayed in. The rooms were large compared to older ships. The bathroom was a decent size due to all my girly products. The room comes with a hair dryer, so no need in bringing your own. There is only one outlet, so use it for your curing iron. When I go on a cruise I want to hangout all night. So of course I like to sleep in. I felt like I was bothering the steward, for him to wait on me was a hassel. Which I felt bad. But hey, it is my vacation. He never complained. One thing I want to complain about,the sheets were never changed. How do I know? There was a stain on the sheets from when I fist arrived and was still there on the last day.
I went to breakfast twice in the main dining room, but all the other times I ordered breakfast in. If you order cereal be sure to request milk. They brought me two cereal boxes with no milk, I asked If I could have milk and they said, "NO" because I did not check the beverage section. Okay, I learned. Next time, I checked milk and OJ, they brought me milk but no OJ. Every morning something was wrong with my breakfast. About the dining room. On the way to the dining room a horrible oder leaked out from the restrooms. The whole trip I had to smell the awful stench as I walked into the dining room. The crew for our dining room table was so-so. Nothing to remember or brag about. The two guys from our Elation experience, had a sense of humor, and was so nice!!!! We even kept in touch with them for a while.
