This was our second cruise on the Pride and, like last year, it was a great time and experience. Here a few thoughts:
Boarding: Leaving from Baltimore is ideal and boarding and departure was smooth and on time. It took about an hour from arrival at port to reaching our stateroom - easy.
The ship: The time in drydock was well-spent because the Pride looks much cleaner and newer than last year. Gone is the stained carpet, etc. There's a new lounge and new seating around the 2nd deck area. Still, the Pride retains its "traditional cruise ship" visage.
