This will be a long review - I know sometimes people say that and it's only a few paragraphs.... grab a cup of tea and a piece of chocolate cake before you get started.
This was the Pride's last 8 night cruise out of Baltimore, hopefully just for this season. We sailed to Grand Turk, HMC, Nassau and Freeport.
We left from Seattle on Friday night at 11:00 p.m., had a lay over in Cleveland and arrived at the Baltimore port at 10:25 est. Yes, we were exhausted! It's true when they say not to get there until later in the day, unlike other ports the ship really doesn't get in until 10, not 6 or 7 a.m. We got on board after 1:00, rooms weren't ready so we had lunch then took a little nap on the lido deck! After muster drill we had sail away - it was a beautiful night as we sailed past Fort McHenry and were given bon voyages by a number of people on boats cruising by.
Room was close to front of ship so we often had laundry (sheets etc) piled by our door - this was unappealing. Our room, 1401, was spacious and always clean. We thought it would be noisy since it was so close to Butterflies but once our door was closed we didn't hear a thing.
