To write a review on this cruise is easy , making you understand is what is a bit more tricky !
My Wife and Myself have cruised on a few different cruise lines , some with our children an some with out .. this one was with our Daughter whom turned 7 while on the cruise, Her birthday was the same day we where in Disney ... from the moment we started planning this cruise it was revolved around December 14Th ... which led to the unexpected .. for friends of ours who's daughter is in the same class as ours booked on the cruise also ... so they could one , Experience there first cruise ever .. and two .. to be able to share in our daughters birthday .. yet to add to that .. Then Grand-Mother and her Friend also wanted to share in the moment so they too booked there cruise ( actually My Mother handed her credit card to my wife and asked her to handle it .. LOL ) ... OK so now to go from there .. the Port of Baltimore was a breeze to get to . and because we had VIP check in it made it that much easier once we got there !
The Carnival Pride is a Nice Ship ... yet we could definitely tell the difference being we have been on some Bigger Cruise Ships , yet for our newbie cruisers it was a good size to start off with , by the second to third day they had no trouble finding there way around .
We where in cabin 8273 on the Carnival Pride ... would not take the upgrade they tried to offer us and glad we didn't ... found out why this room is so wanted ,,, great room , huge balcony ! only 8 of them on the entire ship ... which makes them high sought after .
