Sail Date: May 2014

This was my first cruise, first time out of the country. I enjoyed the experience. We set sail for the Bahamas on May 25th, 2014. Me and my significant other stayed in cabin 5107 on the upper deck/ deck 5. We also had company staying in room 5115- my significant other's best friend and brother. I would highly recommend going with friends, because if its just you and your other half- its going to be a little boring, especially if your 18-28 years of age. So in this review I will start out with my likes then my dislikes of the Carnival Pride:

LIkes:

-The normandie restaurant dinners were every elegant and they have different items to choose from every night. They also had two formal nights where cruisers would have to dress up in formal attire in order to be seated and dine in the restaurant.

Cabin Review

I loved our cabin. It was just right for me and my significant other. I love the fact that it had a safe in the room for our most personal documents and belongings. Our steward Gusti always made sure we had everything we needed. The bathroom was just right for the two of us. The balcony was okay, it could have been better. It had rust stains around the railing and inside the door, the balcony door lock was tricky to open. It was always dirty and the chairs looked like they had been painted, and painted, and painted, and painted, and painted, and painted, and PAINTED! There were paint chippings all over the balcony. We had two chairs and a little table. The table was dirty also, were we would go out to the balcony we would grab some towel and put them over the chairs and table just incase we wanted to hang out in that area. My favorite part was in the evening time the steward would leave towel animals on your bed, along with a FunTimes newsletter, (which had excursions and activities for the next day they you could engage in on the ship as well as off the ship), and two pieces of milk chocolate. The TV was great to it had an interactive channel were you could check the balance of your sail and sign card, also they had a channel telling you of the ship's current location and the depth of the water, amongst other things.
