We only cruised once before on the Imagination which was wonderful and the Pride beat our expectations. We live on the Cheaspeake Bay and watch the Pride go past our house every Sunday night so we decided we wanted to go. We had the best trip . From the housekeeping, (Sotopo) to the Serenity towel girl (Lorelei), to the dining hostess every night for 7 nights, (Diana, Alina, Abbey, Anike) to the entertainment, the choice of eateries, the bars, the entire staff we passed in the hall cabins, or the decks outside to the guest services, etc....every step of our journey was excellent. We have no complaints. The port at Grand Turk was lovely, a day of swimming, relaxing, the pool was beautiful, Margaretaville fun but the next day at Half Moon Cay was the best. What a beautiful day we had. The water and it's beauty, the beach, the amount of lounge chairs, the lunch....what a fabulous time we had. Not so much the next day at Freeport. We did get off the ship and taxied into town but were disappointed with the lack of beach and things to do.

Overall we had the best time and certainly will cruise again with Carnival.
