Cruised with family (two adults, two children ages 6 and 7). February 10-17, 2013.
First, let me start out by saying that I read hundreds of reviews on Carnival Pride prior to booking the reservation in November 2012. A recurring theme in many of the reviews was the ship's decor which is described as relatively dark with potentially child-inappropriate Victorian paintings throughout the ship. Let me counter this by saying I found the ship to be absolutely beautiful. All of the paintings, statues, wallpaper, etc. are tasteful and not at all inappropriate. Probably the most visually attractive cruise ship of the four I've been on.
Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.
8139 - extended balcony cabin Forward and Starboard. Lots of noise from Lido Deck 9 above. Recommend Deck 7 as better choice.
