amandajean06 Posted May 10, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hey guys, My extended family and I sail in just a couple of weeks on the Pride. I absolutely adore reading reviews on CC, and as an English teacher by profession, I love to write as well. There are seemingly TONS of Pride reviews already written, so I wanted to gauge interest for another one to add to the collection! Basic info/topics covered would include: - Driving to Baltimore from Central Indiana - Traveling with husband, two kids (3 and 1), parents (60s) and brother (27) - Previous cruises on Carnival and RCI, first time on Pride - Celebrating my 30th birthday onboard - No major excursions (we are more chill on the beach people, not so much scuba/snorkel/hike people) - No fancy camera equipment: I have an iPhone and a Sony point and shoot at my disposal My goal is to give the people what they want! ;):') Let me know if I should plan for a review or pass this time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted May 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Since every review can add to the collective knowledge I say go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
originalgeek Posted May 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I agree with Sparks. Everyone has a unique POV and every cruise is different even when they're all the same. Write on! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolate melting cake Posted May 10, 2017 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2017 We've been on the Pride 3 times, with a 4th coming soon-----we are always eager to hear a fresh perspective and learn something new----give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As You Wish Posted May 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm definitely interested. I'll be sailing on the Pride for the third time this year. I love reading new reviews of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedster Posted May 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Agreed with posters above! We're going on the Pride in August, and with 3 kids, I'm especially curious to hear about your experience with the 3 year old. We also don't have any excursions planned, and will likely either stay on board or hit the beach at the ports. We have also sailed several times on Carnival, but this will be our first time on Pride. We swayed and tried NCL last year - won't be doing that again! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their offers seem second to none. Do you mind sharing why you wouldn't go that route again? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your screen name! The thought of WCMC is getting me through these last couple weeks of the school year, ha ha! I feel like most folks who sail the Pride are repeat cruisers, like yourself. She must be a fleet favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcwalker Posted May 10, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Are you kidding me!? I can never read too much about a ship for which I have cruise planned. I would love to read your review. I won't be on the Pride (for the first time!) until November. Your review would help tide me over until then. I would enjoy seeing more pictures of the outside - lido pools, serenity deck, top decks, outside promenades. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviela Posted May 11, 2017 #21 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Please contribute. Your original post was well written and should be a pleasant read. Can't have too many pictures, and nothing wrong with your gear. As an editor, I must make one correction ...I will be celebrating the 9th anniversary of my 21st birthday...

Party.of.4.NY>>>FL Posted May 11, 2017 #22 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Jumping in to say I'm looking forward to your report. We will be sailing on Pride for the first time in August. It will be our kids' (8 & 2) first cruise. Like PP, especially interested in any advice, tips, or travel hacks pertaining to young children.

eas2225 Posted May 11, 2017 #24 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The Pride is our absolute favorite ship, and we'll be sailing again on her this October, for the sixth time! I love reading reviews about the Pride, so please do one. Ask your steward to let you know when they'll do the towel animal display in the pool area. I'm not good with posting pics, but google it. Amazing! The entire pool area is covered with towel animals, every lounger, the stage, in the pool, etc. It's done early in the morning and I'm sure your kids will love it! The Green Eggs and Ham breakfast is awesome too! Reservations are necessary and you can make them once you board. There will be a table in the lobby where you can get more info.

I'm with you- what do we do with ourselves during cruise downtime if there are no reviews to read?! I will try to get some of those photos for you to keep you busy as November approaches. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
