My experience on the Carnival Pride was great. Everything from the service to the food to the activities was top notch. I went with my family, and there was something to do for everyone. My sister and parents spent most of their time at the shows, which they said were amazing, and the casino. My brother and his girlfriend explored the ship and always found something to do at night. Before the cruise, I was a little apprehensive because I wasn't sure how much there would be for me to do, as I have found that most places do not give many programs for teens, but after the first day I had completely changed my mind. On the first day, there was a greeting show in the Taj Mahal, and that's where I met the first few people that I spent my time with on the cruise. Later that night we met so many people. I made many new lifelong friends that I hope to keep in touch with and I will never forget.
