I forgot to mention in the last segment, that Guy’s Burger Joint was open from Noon to 6pm daily. While Ryan and I were still eating, Patti slipped away, and as she always does, started snapping pictures. Here are a few of JD the DJ spinning tunes on the Lido stage. In the background is the newly installed big screen where the Dive In Movies are shown…..

 

 

 

 

The newly redone Venus Pool. The Red Frog Rum bar, and the Blue Iguana Tequila bar are in the background…..

 

 

Here is the Blue Iguana Cantina. It’s open from 7am to 10:30am for breakfast, serving breakfast burritos, tacos, and the infamous huevos rancheros. It’s also open for lunch from Noon to 2:30 for the best tacos and burritos on the high seas!.....

To me, the Serenity areas on the Spirit Class ships are the best in the fleet. They have a pool, hot tub, plenty of comfortable seating, and are actually quiet and serene…..

 

 

 

Serenity Pool and hot tub……

 

 

Lots of comfortable chairs and hammocks…..

I officially want to go on the Pride. Isn't it coming to Port Canaveral?

[PurdueChefAmber]

Serenity looks awesome on the Pride! I never go to Serenity because I love the pool, it would be neat to have a pool so close!

OF course loving the review and Patty's pictures, I can not believe that Ryan is taller than you now... loved your answer to the price increase of drinks, that you were to busy drinking... maybe at the end of your reivew you can answer that question when ya's got the bar bill LOL... 74 days and counting down... Can you get to my favorite spot, I really need a beach fix!

[smazar]

Thanks for the entertaining review! We will be back on the pride in 10 days. The last time was pre-2.0 and during Hurricane Sandy.

[JMHAM1]

Great review so far! I had to actually Google Maryland House. That's the fanciest rest stop I've ever seen!

 

I've seriously considered booking out of Maryland and would if the price was right.

 

Love the pics and your observations. Thanks for doing such detailed reviews!

Not at all, but we had pretty much smooth seas all week.
