This was my 30th cruise and the 5th on the Pride. I love this ship. I drive to Baltimore and park next to the terminal. So simple and easy. Embarkation was a little slow but no real problem. I cruise by myself in a balcony cabin. My cabin steward, Budi, was wonderful. I asked for freshening 2 times a day like always. I must have my ice 2 times a day! I took this cruise for 2 reasons. It added an extra day to stop in Charleston, SC and it was over Thanksgiving day. I took the carriage ride in Charleston. It was a terrific tour of residential Charleston. I highly recommend it.

The rest of the ports I stay on board since I have been there 4 times before. I cruise for the cruising not the ports.

Ken Byrne's dining room staff are terrific. Our waiter Wayan was tops. The food has changed a little bit since May when I was on the Pride. The chefs are trying new recipes. If you can't find an entrée selection out of 12 then you are way too picky! Read more
