Let me preface this review by saying it is not meant to be one of the hit pieces on Carnival. My wife and I have now done 26 cruises, two of which were on Carnival ships and we have decided that we prefer other cruising experiences. But, for sure, Carnival fills a niche for thousands of people and I don't want to diminish that. We sailed on the Pride because my daughter and her family had booked it. Our two young grandsons, ages 5 and 9, were cruising for the first time and we didn't want to miss it. On that score, the cruise was a resounding success.

The rest was a mixed bag.

1. The Pride is an older ship but is in pretty good condition. We saw crew members constantly cleaning and didn't see many signs of wear and tear except for many of the wooden rails that could stand to be refinished.

Cabin Review

Aft-View Extended Balcony

Cabin 8M

The cabin is small but with sufficient storage space.

The couch is quite uncomfortable but the bed is pretty good.

Engine vibration is constant and the ship bounces around a lot.

The term "extended balcony" is overstated. It's a nice size but it still isn't large.
