So, about the Pride Dry dock wish list lol....
I just got off the Pride
#1 need is to fix the A/C! On Night 1 they couldn't get our A/C to turn off, so they had to give us extra blankets. I believe their fix was to disable it as we didn't have A/C for the rest of the cruise. Many others I spoke to in in different cabin types on different decks also had A/C issues (some too cold, but most had none at all)
#2 most of the public bathrooms need reno and deep clean. Some were quite disgusting, broken locks, and one had a leaky roof (I don't want to know what was above that stall)
#3 sound systems everywhere. I missed every captain announcement. Could hear he was talking, but never heard what he said. Missed most of the CD announcements too. I'm not sure where on the ship the announcements could be heard, but not any location I was.
#4 Thrusters (I think). I'm not an expert here. We had to bypass our Costa Maya Port. We were late leaving Belize (due to an onshore car/horse accident that delayed people transporting back to ship by 2 hours). When we got to Costa Maya there was wind/weather issues, but other ships were able to dock. We were told it was due to weather, but some were told it was because our thrusters could not get us into the available berths. That could all be crap though, and I'm no expert.
Side note....I've read that some ships have removed the casino bar. I spent many hours daily in the casino, and if they didn't have that bar, I never would have gotten a drink. Wait staff was extremely minimal and was an ongoing issue.
All that said.....I had a great time on the Pride. I loved the layout, and there were some great staff. It's a really good ship and I hope they use the drydock to make it even better.
