We just returned from the Mexican Riviera on the Pride and wanted to say our 2 cents. We got to the port approximately 12:30 and within one hour we were onboard and in our cabins, the lines were long, but moved along. Maybe I'm naive, but I expect when you are trying to put 2000 people or so onto a ship, there WILL BE lines. Just expect it.
We were impressed with the cleanliness of the ship. The food in the dining room was first rate, and our waiter and assistant were excellent. Comane and Phillip.
One of our favorite parts of cruising are the activities onboard. We do as many as possible, and we felt that there were plenty of offerings to keep us busy. There was a lot of bingo, and art auctions, we choose not to go to those, but have no problem with the fact that they exist.
