Carnival Pride Review

Additional details
We chose Baltimore as our embarkation point since we could drive there in about 6 hours and avoid the hassle (and expense) of flying. Stayed overnight at the Sleep Inn and Suites on their cruise and park promo -- $139 for the night included breakfast, parking for our car for the week and shuttle to and from the port. I highly recommend this if you have more than a couple of hours drive.
Passage through the Port was quick and painless. We arrived at about 11:30 - were on the ship having lunch at 12:15. Couldn't get into our rooms until 2:30 so we explored the ship and enjoyed the view. When we went to our cabin, we had not even finished unpacking our carry-on when our checked luggage arrived.
Our cabin steward, Hustin, (sounds like the city in Texas) was the best. He was prompt and efficient throughout the cruise, always calling us by name. One evening when my key card wouldn't work, a staff member called him for me and he was there within a minute to let me in.
Cabin Review
Extended Balcony
Good location, quiet, 10 steps from aft elevator which led directly to main dining room. covered balcony with two chairs (one reclining), open view. Room had 2 small closets, one closet of shelves - plenty of storage for 2 people. Good size bathroom with shelves for toiletries; temperature controllable shower. Really comfortable bed with good pillows and linens. Sofa and coffee table. Hairdryer was low power and you had to hold the on button at all times to make work (only real complaint I had)
