I Luv Crusin Posted September 26, 2011 #5 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi, we are on the Pride next Sunday! I can't wait for your review. What time did you board? How was cell phone service and when did you lose it? On the Atlantic Deck does the promenade go all the way around the ship? Did you have a good time? What is a must do?

How was cell phone service and when did you lose it? On the Atlantic Deck does the promenade go all the way around the ship? Did you have a good time? What is a must do? If you are driving, they did not allow you into the parking lot until 11am. Once we got in, we were VIP so we were on in the first group, we walked on the ship around 12:30. Cell phone service was available the whole time, it switched to Cellular-at-sea about 3 hours after we left Baltimore. Then we turned our phones to airplane mode. I don't think Atlantic went all the way around. We had an awesome time! Just read your Fun Times and do whatever your heart desires, and make sure you order the Chocolate Cake from room service :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcs819 Posted September 26, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Thanks for that! That is one of those things I was hoping someone could tell us! It is VERY expensive once you leave your carrier. Please search these boards for people who came home to cell phone bills in the thousands of dollars.

mavis2222 Posted September 26, 2011 #11 Share Posted September 26, 2011 It is VERY expensive once you leave your carrier. Please search these boards for people who came home to cell phone bills in the thousands of dollars. I used the "cellular at sea" service a few times. I only used it to send a few texts. Cost 1.50 send and .50 to receive for each text. I didnt use it for "talking" or making calls. At the time I had AT&T. My bill only went up a few dollars. just dont let your smartphone scan for data and app upgrades. If you just have it "on" and not using it, it will still send and receive data to support the Apps. Put it in airplane mode or turn it off when your not using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcs819 Posted September 27, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Be aware that even off the ship you will pick up someone other than your regular carrier. I turned my phone on in while anchored in Belize and made a five minute phone call to work and it was almost $30 when I got the bill. I don't remember if it was Cellular-at-sea then or the local carrier, but my boss thought I was nuts I was expensing one phone call till he saw how much it was. Now they don't bug me on vacation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusinCyndi Posted September 27, 2011 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2011 What cabin were you in ? How was the dining room ? How were the lines at the lido buffet? Did they have an area for VIP and if so, did they have juice/water or something like that? How was debarking for you? We leave on her on Sunday October 2nd...woo hoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suezyq50 Posted September 27, 2011 #18 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As you can see, there are several of us watching for your review. How was room service? Did you send any clothes out for laundry and were you satified with the service? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KroozFoolz Posted September 27, 2011 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I am anxious to read what you did in Bermuda! Your reviews in the past have helped me with choosing excursions and activities, so I am hoping that will be the case again. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micdee Posted September 28, 2011 #21 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Was the Pride Casino closed the entire time while in port ? We were also on this cruise and the casino was closed the entire time while in port. We had a terrific time, Bermuda is beautiful. Hi Bernie, it was nice to meet you.

Elmer McCurdy Posted September 29, 2011 #25 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Was the Pride Casino closed the entire time while in port ? Yes. All ships' casinos are closed while in port. The government in Bermuda had tried a couple of years ago to pass legislation to allow gambling while in port but the initiative failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
