We are so sad to see the ride leaving Tampa. Baltimore, our loss is your gain. Sometimes I read negative reviews on the Pride, and I wonder if these people were on a different ship, or they are just very finicky and over demanding. 1st, Carnival prices are far below other cruise lines. I'm paying now what I paid years ago for a cruise on Carnival. The Pride was an awesome ship. Very easy to navigate and get to where you want to go. Not a lot of going up a deck to get down 2 decks. All of the decks I was on went all the way down the ship. Everyone was very friendly and courteous. The food was better than eating at home(sorry honey), but she'd admit that also. David's Steakhouse was worth every penny of the $35 extra per person. We did it on both formal nights. Awesome food! The regular dining area was very nice also. Food was very good. We did "Your time dining", liked it alot. The shows were good, the comedy shows were by far my favorite. Very very funny comics. Plenty of lounge chairs to get sun. I cannot find one thing that dissapointed me on this cruise. We had a balcony, it was nice to have. Cabin steward was the bomb. They always seem to know when you leave and Bamm they are there cleaning the room. Mahogany Bay was my favorite port of call. Very nice beach by the ship. Can't wait til our next cruise, and it WILL be on Carnival.
