Overall we had a wonderful time on the Pride. I truly don't have any negatives just observations on the ships maintenance, etc.

We arrived in Baltimore on Saturday and met with our CC group at the aquarium at the Inner Harbor. Had a nice time and then we had tapas for lunch, which was new for me however it was enjoyable. We stayed at the Comfort Inn BWI which allowed us to park the car there for the week. Room and parking were $105 which was same cost to park at the port. On Sunday morning our shuttle options were 11 or 12:30 so we opted for the 11 since we had to check out anyway. Arrived at the port and luggage unloaded by 11:15. We waited in the VIP waiting area for about 10 minutes before being checked in, were taken to the main waiting area at 11:45 with our sign and sail cards. One gentleman in line after us complained that we just had seats in a roped off section of the port building instead of an actual private lounge. Didn't bother us though. We got on the ship at 1:15 and headed on up to the lido before the crowds got there.

About 2:30 we checked on our cabin which was just being finished, our cabin steward let us wait on the balcony. We dropped off our carry on's and then went back to viewing the ship. Our cabin which was a category 11 (we got an upsell call about 7 weeks before sailing). Room was nice, plenty of room in the bathroom, loved the extra vanity area and closets. Our cabin steward did a wonderful job all week, he was very friendly, pleasant.
