Carnival Pride Review
Wonderful Cruise With Old Friends From Buffalo On Their First Cruise
Rating by category
Additional details
We chose this cruise because of the convenience of leaving from Tampa (30 minutes from home) and the variety of ports on just a 7 day cruise. To make it even better, we were joined by 2 friends who were EXCITED about their first cruise.
Embarcation was less than 30 minutes and a breeze. It was pretty cool and windy up on the Lido deck but going under the Sunshine Skyway Bridge right at sunset was spectacular. We did have a couple dinners in the Normandie room but most were up at the buffet or the other restaurants on the Lido Deck. It was pretty average fare but no complaints at all from any of us. Guy Fieri's burgers and fries are fabulous but the pizzas are pretty greasy.
We were attracted to this cruise because of its stops in Cozumel, Belize, Roatan and Grand Cayman. Each excursion was very unique and just plain wonderful.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Our cabin was spacious, very well maintained, with the exception of some chipped paint on the balcony. The bathroom was larger than expected. When our TV malfunctioned, it was replaced immediately with a new flat screen model.
