Just off Pride

Recently off Pride in eighteen day Arabia cruise. Some comments. Overall pleased with the condition of the ship realizing the a ship of that age will begin to show its age.

Suites are great, in good condition and roomy

Favorite room was the yacht club up front, great views and comfortable.

Least favorite was compass rose which was dark and seemed seldome used

The theater like lounge was perfect for our twice daily talks about the sites were were to visit as well as historical insights

Amphora, the restaurant, is well appointed but initially seemed a little cramped because of what appeared a low ceiling. After a few days we didn't notice.

Food is typical Windstar and good, especially dinner

The crew as always was fabulous

This cruise was first class in every regard. The trip and overnight to Luxor was perfectly planned and executed. All shore excursions were well done. In this difficult part of the world, the Middle East, the company did everything possible to provide for our security and make us comfortable.

The two new power yachts apparently have some upgrades in response to early Pride comments and which will be added to Pride the Fall, but I would not be reluctant to recommend the Pride in its current condition. It will only get better

If you had the same crew we did on the leg before you were indeed in good hands. A special shout-out to our purser, Brenda, who took great care to make sure we had all our paperwork in order when we disembarked early in Mumbai and then walked with us through the entire process until we met up with our private tour guide. Above and beyond.

 

Curious if you were a lightly booked as we were, with only 86 on board.

Unfortunately for the company there were only 140 on our segment. The Yemen situation only 12 miles from our course obviously scared people off. Your number and ours are obviously the reason the company is not going back next year, too bad
