We sailed Thanksgiving week on the Pride. I emailed our Maitr-D (Ken) and told him where we liked to sit and the size table we preferred. If was a brief two paragraph note. He responded so sweetly within two days. He assured me that he would take care of us. (This was the first time I ever did this)

 

When we went to dinner we had been placed at table 100 which is the Captain's table (he eats late seating, we had early). We were towards the front at a table for 8 and it was actually the best seat we had in a long time.

 

For us, it worked well!!! Oh by the way,,,he visits all the tables throughout the week. He came to our table the first night shortly after service started and always checked in several times a night,,,one night he even removed dirty plates from in front of some of us while visiting with us.

We knew a couple who did both legs and we had family that flew to San Juan for the leg back.

 

Being zone 1 when returning we have never had problems gathering our luggage. Husband finds it while I just stand still and he brings them to me and goes back for others (4 pieces all together). We were never asked to move out of the way on any of our trips out of Baltimore. I do know what you mean about the porters. As far as the price for parking I can only guess you having sailed out of NY. Now that is over priced!

Quick question. My niece is taking the 2nd leg of a b2b on the Pride. She is flying into San Juan and sailing home to Balto.

 

She is curious whether or not she can leave her car at the port prior to sailing out. I have no clue myself, THANKS

We sailed the Pride Thanksgiving week and one of the couples we ate with are doing the entire trip. We have six family members that are doing the 2nd leg. They are flying in to San Juan on the 28th for the trip back to Baltimore!

We were just on over Thanksgiving. We did not care for the American Table either. As for our ice water,,,,,ours was usually empty once we all got our glasses filled for the first go round. Our Bar service for soda/beer was horrible. Husband agrees that the choices were limited. We also agree about the entertainment. We did enjoy the music at the Red Pub (where Starry Night Lounge was).

 

All that aside our trip was great as usual.

Headed out for 8 days on the Pride today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

"Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!"

We sailed the Liberty in Nov 14 and they did not have the American Table. It was the regular menu as they had not changed over yet.

We sailed from there last November and parked right at the pier,,,not sure but might have been $20 a day,,,,a little more than Balto but way cheaper that NY.

 

We were out of their in no time,,,once we got our luggage (we no longer to self disembark) we walked right out and crossed right on over into the garage and to our truck. No traffic issue getting out of garage or area of port and up the road we came back to MD.

 

I understand you're wanting to get on the road as quickly as possible.

Not sure of the cabin number (4123 and 4122 on Pride, sister ship) but when we were on the Miracle we chose the cabin that sat directly between two life boats. There are only 4 of them on the Pride and I believe that is what is on the Miracle. Just bring up the deck plan and try and book one of them.

What are they and how do they work? Thanks

We have been to Cocoa Beach and the Village. Can anyone tell me where the Pier is?

Don't do energy drinks but depend on Gatorade at breakfast and lunch (due to stomach issues). I guess I will have to see if they still sell the box ones (and taste to see if I like it) and deal with those.

 

Just don't understand how they can't tell that Gatorade is unopened. I guess people can get the tops off and back on and they look unopened.

 

Oh Well!

We always buy the cruise line insurance. My question is if we purchase it from somewhere else is there a time limit to buy it,,,,like so many days before final payment or before trip?

Ever since they changed the candies some years back (they use to have that choc/mint taste) we don't miss them. I just always saved them thru the week and brought them home for the grandkids because they liked them. I remember one trip asking our steward for a few extra to take home and he gave us and ENTIRE BAG!!!

Is it possible to use their beach without purchasing day passes? Thanks

Love the Pride HAVE to wait until November for the 2.0 upgrade. Always good to here about good and bad reviews.

Has anyone ever stayed on deck 7 close to the stairs and elevators midship. We have been in a balcony in another part of that deck but never near the steps/elevators.

 

I am curious about the noise level?

 

Thanks

Have family member sailing in June for honeymoon. Just curious if anyone knows where I can get special designed T's for them to where on their cruise. I did a search but found nothing. Thanks!

Just a quick question. We always purchase pics when we sail but most the time do not know the price of the different sizes.

 

I want to put some Photo Cash in someones room as a surprise. I want to leave enough for two 8x10's but not too much that they don't use it,,,,cause you lose it.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hello everyone. I have a few questions. My grandson is getting married on 6/5 and sailing 6/6 out of Baltimore on the Pride. He had a childs passport but it expires prior to the sail date. I know he will need an adult one. My question is can he and his new wife sail with just their birth certificates (she doesn't have a passport). Also don't they need to take the marriage certificate because of her name change?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all

Sorry early saver

My husband and I have sailed alot but never booked Easy Saver. My daughter in law just booked my grandson and his future wife on a 7 day in June using Early Saver.

 

When I book we always book so that if we cancel before final payment we get our deposit back.

 

Can anyone tell me how easy saver works. I think that if they cancel prior to final payment they will lose $50 and the remainder is kept for a future cruise over the next two years???

 

Also, if our payment dropped before final payment,,,,we got that money back. After final payment,,,,no longer do that. On the EASY SAVER how does price dropping work.

 

Thanks so much. As I said we have never booked that way and the past few years we booked the casino rates.

 

Thanks to everyone!!!!

Hi. We will be in St Maarten week after next as one of our ports. Been quite a few years since we have been there. Due to stomach issues some days I may require the urgent need of a rest room (trying to say IBS, sorry) and I was wondering if there are any public rest rooms and if so which ones would be the best/cleanest to use.

 

We will not be doing a tour but just walking around the dutch side as it is too hard for me to worry about traveling to the French side any longer.

 

Thanks for any info you may have.

We are sailing in two weeks and plan on parking at the port. If I remember correctly I read somewhere that they charge you per day. So if our trip is 8 nights we are paying for the 9 days, correct?

 

Does anyone know the current cost per day. Thanks

Thanks. Belize is one port I haven't been to,,,yet!
