7 Nights The Bahamas from Baltimore, MD Cruise

Best cruise yet!

I just felt the need to supply this review. We’ve cruised for a couple years now and always on Carnival. Our preference are the smaller ships. We just cruised on Pride and I have to give it an A+++++ rating. The Carnival staff have always treated us like royalty and this cruise was so much better. Our room steward, Arvin and the Serenity pool staff, Christine-Joy and Stephen went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. Keep up the great work Carnival. We are your loyal guests!!! The food was excellent and the entertainment was wonderful. The comedians were hilarious. We totally enjoyed the ship. It was one of our favorites so far. Cannot wait to plan and book our next trip. We met some pretty amazing people who I hope we sail again with. Carnival needs to add new destinations out of Baltimore is our only complaint or suggestion.

Exceeded Expectations as First Time Cruiser

This was my first ever cruise and my expectations were exceeded. The staff treats you like absolute royalty everyday and there’s some unforgettable names that really stood out. Hugo in the fancy dining area was spectacular. Also I was expecting our room to be a stuffy closet as we bought the cheapest interior option but once again my expectations were exceeded as the room was bigger than expected and very clean and comfy. The entertainment was broadway level good. The food was outstanding every day as well as cleanliness. My only complaint would be that Nasau without an excursion is pointless as you’ll get harassed the whole time. Our last day at Freeport our only excursion for the whole trip got canceled, then we got promised the glass boat experience but that also got canceled after hours of us waiting. Other than that I LOVE the decor of the ship pls never change it, I hate modern decor. Lastly, disembarking time was a bit rough but honestly I just think it was slow bc my ship was 90% elderly folk.

Better than expected!

I had never been on such a small ship and this was my first time on Carnival. I was nervous that I would not enjoy it. Not only was I pleasantly surprised, it changed the opinions of many of my family members. The ship was small, but didn’t feel small. We did “feel” the waves a bit, but it wasn’t too bad. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We especially enjoyed our server Roberlyn and the Matre D’, Ken. They remember your name from the first time they meet you and never forget it. The ship is beautifully appointed with a lot of classical inspired art pieces. Lots of food options, including all-nite pizza! We ate at the steakhouse and had an amazing dinner. The chef comes out to the table to check on your steak temperature. The food was amazing! The bathrooms were nicely sized and the shower did good keeping the water IN the shower! Would definitely take this cruise again!
