We sailed on the Pride from Baltimore on January 20th taking advantage of a half week of school with our young kids (ages 14 and 9), they absolutely loved the experience and can't wait to go back again, especially for the freedom it presented for them to join the kids clubs and have activities until past midnight every night (some fees applied for the youngest).
