This was our 8th cruise. Fourth with Carnival.We have been on Princess, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. We enjoy Carnival since our 15 year old son loves to cruise and always has a great time. Carnival seems to do the best job with the teen discos, pizza and things kids enjoy. My wife and I figure if the kids are happy then we can have fun. I will not bore you with the normal stuff. Here are our likes and dislikes as it relates to the Pride.
We Liked: We love the cruise director. Greg Kneale is the best!He is funny, talented and has the best Bedtime Story after the Talent show. Do not miss this! We have seen it 3 times now . Twice before on the Carnival Elation. Each time it gets funnier and funnier. Greg likes what he does and truly enjoys having fun. In our opinion, he makes the ship.Wish he would do his Beatles set in the lounge as in the past.He is from England and sings the Beatles very well.
The gym is awesome.Good equipment that is better than most ships. Three tiered levels with a great hot tub and sauna/steam area close to the gym.
