Pride of America Review

Additional details
My family and I got back from our cruise almost two weeks ago and we loved it!! As it was our first cruise, we didn't really know what to expect and some of the reviews made me slightly wary but we never had an issue with anything and we had the best time.
Embarkation was slow, but to be expected. We were standing in line for around 2 and a bit hours which was painful but we made some friends in the line which provided a welcome distraction!
Our first day/afternoon on the ship was pretty busy. We weren't able to get adjoining cabins, so our family of four was split up on the fourth and tenth levels. Because my sister and I are still minors in America, the booking had to be made with one parent assigned to each of us in our cabins. We swapped once we got on the ship so our parents were together and so were my sister and I, but our luggage had obviously gone to the different rooms which meant my sister and dad had to swap around their luggage to their actual rooms once it had all been delivered. It couldn't be helped, that was the way the booking had to be made.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Oceanview Picture Window
I was expecting our room to be TINY and I was pleasantly surprised! There is heaps of room to store your belongings in drawers and cubby holes and there was plenty of room underneath the bed for luggage. The cupboard had plenty of room for our clothes and shoes, we just divided the hangers equally between us and folded the rest of our clothes. The bathroom was small but not as bad as I'd thought. The shower was pretty small but not an issue, and comes with soap and shower gel dispensers. The bathroom also had soap on tap dispenser which I much prefer to the bar of soap in hotels. What I loved about our room the most was sitting up in bed at night, lights switched off and the curtains open, watching the ocean go past.
