NCTribeFan Posted May 12, 2014 #751 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well, it was great. Except for Saturday night, when the cabin shook so badly that I hardly slept (and had a 5+ hour drive home yesterday). Once I rest up from my vacation for a day or two, I'll get my photos uploaded and start writing my review. But, yeah, it was pretty fantastic! And it's so hard to be back at work.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geesherry Posted May 12, 2014 #752 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Had a very relaxing week on the Pride. Wanted to report in about my cabin. I had a premium balcony, 8235, starboard side, right under the pizza station. Also directly next to the elevators. I has some noise very early on one morning, about 4 am. Sounded like a heavy cart moving above me. The noise lasted less than 5 minutes and was never repeated. there was occasionally the sound of footsteps above during daytime hours, never enough to rise to the level of annoyance. I've had more noise from loud neighbors than either of the above. The location can't be beat for convenience. One flight up, and you are either in Serenity or the buffet. Down a few levels, and you step right into the dining room. It is a long way back from a late night comedy show at butterflies though! The extra room feels extravagant. It's super easy to find too. Two chairs and a lounger on the balcony. I would happily book this cabin again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 12, 2014 #753 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I was SO HAPPY to find that lounger on the balcony! I didn't have that on either of my Miracle cabins. My problem was the neighbors. Everyone across that back row kept their "snoozin" signs on the doors practically 24/7. I kept seeing the little notices where Dewa (our steward; who had the entire aft section to attend to) had left notices about not being able to service the cabins. Anyway, the folks on both sides were obviously smokers, and since they seemed to spend all day in their cabins, they must've stayed up ALL NIGHT because they both left the balcony lights on, and both went in and out on the balcony at all hours and, inconsiderately, allowed the doors to SLAM every single time. Seriously, people. If it's 3 or 4 am and you want a smoke, just go out there and have one. Stop letting the door slam. Stop sitting there bellowing at each other. Were you raised in a barn? :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron3219 Posted May 12, 2014 #754 Share Posted May 12, 2014 We just sailed the pride on 4/6 and got to the pier at noon, went through security, checked in and walked right on the ship. No waiting. You were on the same cruise as me and my family. We got to the lot at 11:10. Dropped our bags, went through the security and check in and were right on the boat by noon. There were already people on the boat when we got there, a good many actually! Our room was ready by 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron3219 Posted May 12, 2014 #756 Share Posted May 12, 2014 What night is the best to head to the steakhouse? We are on the Pride for the Florida Nassau Freeport Oct 12, 2014 cruise if that matters. We did ours on the last night of the cruise. We were tired of the buffets by then and the MDR selection. It was very nice. Steak wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good.

geesherry Posted May 12, 2014 #757 Share Posted May 12, 2014 We did ours on the last night of the cruise. We were tired of the buffets by then and the MDR selection. It was very nice. Steak wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good. No comment on the Steakhouse, I didn't go, but I couldn't decide on anything the last few nights. One evening, I ordered 5 different appetizers (no main). The next 2, I ordered the Indian Vegetarian, and wished I had tried them earlier in the cruise! Word of warning though, if you can't handle a good spicy curry, it's not for you. for me, it was wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunchesofun Posted May 12, 2014 #758 Share Posted May 12, 2014 We've traveled in cabin 6279 which is exactly like 8237. The premium balcony really spoils you as the room is bigger and the balcony is bigger as well. We've had this cabin twice now. If we could afford it we'd have it again, but can only afford an interior this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bar10der421 Posted May 12, 2014 #759 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Well, it was great. Except for Saturday night, when the cabin shook so badly that I hardly slept (and had a 5+ hour drive home yesterday). .:( Was the cabin shaking due to rough seas? And did it get better when you got into the bay? That should be about midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 14, 2014 #760 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Shaking was worse when we were moving more slowly (first and last nights). Rather than the usual ocean motion, it was just shaking. I haven't even begun my review (or uploading photos) because I had to bolt the office yesterday and spent the day in bed. My "mal de debarquement" symptoms have the worst this post-cruise I've ever had. I have some vertigo anyway, and this has just been miserable. :( I did want to say that pretty much everyone I encountered on this cruise, from the hotel employees to the ship crew and staff, to my fellow passengers (other than my inconsiderate neighbors) were just wonderful. That makes a great cruise even better. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollypop1622 Posted May 14, 2014 #762 Share Posted May 14, 2014 NCTribeFan or Paul Medik- Silly question- Do they still have little boxes of cereal for breakfast? Call me crazy but the only thing I've eaten for breakfast for the past 10 years is a bowl of Rice Krispies with some banana slices! Thanks!

WetToes Posted May 16, 2014 #765 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I eat cereal everyday at home, so when I cruise, ... it's bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles, and whatever other forbidden foods that are offered. :) I'll leave my cereal for you. Enjoy! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 16, 2014 #766 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I need to have protein. I can't eat just carbs (and sugar and caffeine) for breakfast, so I have eggs & meat, almost every day. Once in a while, I'll decide I want cereal, but it fills me up quickly but leaves me starving in 2 hours. On the ship, I almost always have my made-to-order omelet - ham, both cheeses (if available), tomatoes & mushrooms, well done, thanks. Then I often get a side of bacon. I add a couple of the round potato things when they're on the buffet and if no potato, I may have a croissant. Oh, and water and two cups of tea with sugar and milk. Just something light to get me going. :p If I have an excursion planned that lasts most of the day and may not include anywhere to get food, I'll sometimes grab a cereal box to take with me. That's the only time I want anything to do with cereal when I'm on a ship. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
