This was our 5th time on the Pride. We love the layout of the ship, the ease of departure, and it's only a two hour ride from our house, so no airfare.
We went to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Nassau. The weather was perfect, and the only excursion we did was to a private beach in Nassau, which was wonderful. There was a 35 minute boat ride to Balmoral Island and once you got off, there were plenty of chairs both in the sun and shade. Lunch was included, which was a hot dog or cheeseburger, bag of chips, and a non alcoholic drink. We found a pavillion with 4 lounge chairs and stayed there the entire time. I would do this excursion again. Went to Margaritaville in Grand Turk, grabbed some loungers and enjoyed the pool and some frozen drinks. Everyone loved Half Moon Cay, as usual. We were on one of the first tenders and were able to get loungers in the shade a little further down the beach. Beautiful day here as well.
The crew of the Pride is exceptional. Everyone we encountered was friendly and eager to please. I filled out a survey and individually recognized the ones who took great care of us.
We enjoy these extended balcony cabins, and always try to book one of them. The balcony is a little roomier and we like being in the middle of the ship.
Love leaving out of Baltimore, since its only a two hour drive for us.
Here we stayed at Margaritaville the whole time, but did walk down the beach and went in the water.
This is our favorite port! The beach is beautiful and since there's only one ship at a time , it never feels crowded.
