rlloyd3 Posted February 26, 2013 #201 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just found this topic...starting at the beginning and working my way through. :D My girlfriend and I will be sailing on the Pride this June. On our cruise, I'm planing to propose; she has told me before that she's always wanted a big, public proposal so I'm going to try emailing someone (John Heald? Our CD? Someone else?) about trying to set something up. Any ideas? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted February 26, 2013 Author #202 Share Posted February 26, 2013 In February of 2011 we cruised on the Pride for Valentine's/Anniversary and our friends cruised with us for their first time. On Valentine's Day my friend proposed at one of the formal picture stops to his then girlfriend. When the photographer started to take the pic, he got down on his knee and proposed with the ring he brought with him. The photographer took multiple snaps and got some really great pics of her surprise..it was really nice..everyone was clapping and yelling.

thehip Posted February 26, 2013 #203 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) I have read this thread through and it is great to see all the positive pride comments. I was on the Valour in2010 and one of the things dh and I loved about the mdr menu was the home cooking favorites (fried chicken, meatloaf ). I know it seems weird but for a picky it was nice to know there was fall back items to choose from. Was that just a Valour thing because all the posts and pics I have seen about the menu on the pride do not show them? Yeah, all those things are there, although I missed the meatloaf because we did the Chef's Table, and would do it again with no hesitation. The last night (night seven) is the bacon mac and cheese, my wife and I both ordered it since there was so much praise for it in these forums....but we also ordered a panko breaded jumbo shrimp to share since we saw it at the next table. Glad we did that as it was very nicely done. Great crab cake the last night also, really surprised me. Edited February 26, 2013 by thehip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your GF wants a big public proposal I would suggest something on the lido deck on the first sea day. Get it set up where you two are picked to play a game and take it from there. How much more public could you get?! The romantic in me loved that idea of doing it with the photographer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deircouz Posted April 14, 2013 #206 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are the room safes on the Pride the kind with the keypad or do you need a card with a magnetic strip? Also, do the balcony rooms on the empress decks have refrigerators? Are they pre-stocked with drinks that you must pay for? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParksFamily5 Posted April 14, 2013 #207 Share Posted April 14, 2013 You use a card with a magnetic stripe. I believe you use the room card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenityandkatie Posted April 14, 2013 #208 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Anyone seen anything about the 7th floor extended balcony rooms(midship)? We switched from 6 to 7 and are curious if the life boats are in view and if there is a refrigerator in the room? It was snowing again in Michigan so we are all really looking forward to our June 9th trip on the Pride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not use your Sail & Sign card for this! Bring an old (empty) store gift card or some other unimportant card with a magnetic strip. Yes they have fridges, and yes, they come pre-stocked with for-purchase minibar drinks - alcoholic as well as soft drinks. ETA: These fridges are of course 'minifridges' and not super-cold. But will keep already-cold drinks cold. Edited April 14, 2013 by ShakyBeef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was snowing again in Michigan so we are all really looking forward to our June 9th trip on the Pride! I am currently sitting on the pride waiting to disembark. We had an extended balcony on the 5th floor with an obstructed balcony view, meaning the lifeboats were just below us so we couldn't look directly down to the water. Room 5236, not sure if that helps you but I imagine the rooms directly above us have the same obstacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lions1995 Posted April 16, 2013 #212 Share Posted April 16, 2013 We will be sailing as a group of 12. Does the MDR on the Pride have tables that seat at least 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charxu Posted April 16, 2013 #215 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Could you tell me if your table for 13 was a cramped table or did you all have the usual space? I am travelling on May 5th with a group of 14 and thought we may have to be at two tables. On our Legend cruise we only had a table for 12.

EpcotBill Posted April 17, 2013 #217 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I know opinions on food can vary to extremes but what is your favorite for lunch at Mermaid Grill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakyBeef Posted April 18, 2013 #218 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I know opinions on food can vary to extremes but what is your favorite for lunch at Mermaid Grill? Something that is handed to me by a cook from across a counter because I don't do buffets - I've seen too many people do too many disgusting things.:eek: If eating at the Mermaid Grille, I usually get a tuna melt or grilled ham & cheese from the deli. Or a fresh-tossed chicken Ceasar salad from the pizza station. Or a burger from the poolside grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baymadsus Posted June 8, 2013 #220 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone! I read a few pages back that the poster had no control over the cabin tempurature and that it was uncomfortable warm in the cabin. I'll be on the Pride in the middle of August. They cant possible have a summer caribbean cruise with no AC, can they?? If anyone would like to link their pride review, I would appreciate it! :D Thanks!

dixieva Posted June 8, 2013 #221 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well, either that poster couldn't find the temp control in their room or it was not working properly. I have been on many cruises and never seen a room where you could not control the temp. If your room does not get cool enough just call Guest Services and they will send someone to fix it.
