On embarkation we tried to arrive late to avoid the crowds but there were still really long lines. I guess you just can't avoid them. On the ship we got a balcony cabin which was a good size and we did enjoy having the balcony. The room itself was not that clean and there were stains and other problems with the cabin. We found hairs still in the bathroom so someone was not cleaning properly. Our room steward never came by to introduce himself but he seemed friendly enough. The entertainment for the most part was good. Some of the shows were better than others. One comedian was to vulgar for my tastes and I didn't care for him. The cruise director was good and quite entertaining. The Bingo we found wasn't worth it though we did like the casino onboard. The food was average but adequate. We found the same thing being served for breakfast and lunch all the time. The dining room waiters offered horrible service. One time he forgot to take our order as we waited for ever for him. Water glasses were never refilled. Overall not a good exerience in the dining room. The ship overall wasn't very glitzy like other Carnival ships and I actually prefer the glitzy Las Vegas style. Most of the staff we encountered onboard never smiled and were very unfriendly. Service just wasn't what I was used to on other cruiselines. Overall a fun cruise but I wouldn't sail on the Carnival Pride again. ]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:04:31 -0500
