We had a great time on this ship. Food was good, service even better. We had a balcony on the Empress deck. Loved it. The casino was crowed, but hey, when aren't they? The adult Serenity deck was nice, but not large enough. I was disappointed there were no cigar bars, and to smoke one you had to go outside and huddle in the corner of the pool area. Not conducive to the cigar experience. You would think one bar could be designated a cigar bar. Getting on and off the ship was easy enough. It's amazing that the cabin steward seems to miraculously know when you leave the cabin for a while because when you return BAM the room is cleaned and you have towel animals all over the place. I would go on the Pride again, but it has left Tampa and went to Baltimore, so I doubt we will unless it returns to the Tampa area.
