I have traveled with Carnival several times in the past and have been very pleased. This cruise boat, the Carnival Pride was very different. The staff was very rude and did not go out of there way to make you feel comfortable. Our initial waiter was very rude on the first night and ignored us. He acted as if he were disgusted to serve us and only spoke when he took our order. The next night we changed dining times and dining rooms and ended up with a waiter who we could not have been more pleased with named Maryono who provided excellent service. He was very attentive to our needs and served us with a smile. Thank you Maryono for making our stay better!

Our cabin was clean, however our cabin guy who I will not name rushed us out of the cabin a few times just so he could clean it claiming he didn't know if he would be back later so he wanted to do it then. We were sleeping one of those times when he knocked on the door wanting us to leave so he could clean the cabin. I thought this was vacation where people are suppose to be able to rest and relax when they wanted but I was wrong. He even knocked on the door on embarkation morning at 0847 claiming that we had to be out of the cabin by 0900 when the paper clearly stated 0930. He kept the cabin clean but it was very frustrating to be awaken to be kicked out of "your" cabin that you paid great money for to rest and relax.

The food was not that great. I have had better on the carnival! They served us hot dogs, chili w/beans and cold ham and cheese sandwiches EVERY NIGHT for the midnight buffet!!!!...Thank God for the freshly made pizza and the "ONE" guy who was made to work nightshift and serve hundreds of people by himself (and he did it all without any complaints and did not express any attitudes towards the people due to being overworked) KUDOS to this guy!!! There was hardly anything to do on this boat besides gamble, eat or sleep!! (And the casino did not keep people there because nobody was winning anything so people did not stay long)The shows were mediocre and seem to be something you could get from a high school play.

Cabin Review

Cabin balcony

We were awaken and rushed out of cabin several times by the cabin guy so he could "clean the cabin". He also knocked on the door on embarkation morning at 0847 telling us we needed to be out of the cabin by 0900 so he could clean the cabin when the paper clearly stated 0930. I was not pleased with nor did I appreciate being rushed from the cabin, especially when relaxing and resting is usually why people take vacations. Other than that, the cabin was clean.
