Our cruising family prefers the Pride over other ships. We prefer the smaller size ships as the service seems to be more personal. We also prefer leaving out of Baltimore since it is a short drive (less than 2 hours). The stateroom and dinning room staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The room steward elevated the head of the bed and the dinning room staff provided gluten free selections.
The Pride is a clean ship as you always see members of the staff cleaning and tending to the needs of the ship. The ship is showing signs of aging like some rust on the balconies which, hopefully will be corrected during the dry dock period.
Great food, good shows, and a well trained staff. The wine selections were great. My only complaint, and it's more of a preference in that the coffee was way too strong.
Very clean and well kept. It was cleaned quickly during the day. We always book adjoining rooms and open the balcony doors to provide more space for social gatherings. We have had the same stateroom twice by choice.
