My husband, a friend and I sailed on the Pride Sept. 28, 02. I LOVED IT! A beautiful ship, but if you get offended easily (nude art) it might not be for you. My husband didn't care for the decor at all. Everything was wonderful except for our stateroom service. I think perhaps our room steward was a new employee. She just didn't get the routine of cleaning our room while we were in dinner, etc. The water slide is the best design I have ever seen. We booked an ocean view room, lots of storage space. As for the weather in Port Canaveral, we just sailed on RCCL SOS Jan 5. It was definitely cooler in Fl than I imagined. One or 2 nights we were there, it was in hte 30's, with daytime temps in the 50's, so take a jacket just in case. If you need to stay over a night in FL, I would recommend Radisson Resort at the Port in Port Canaveral. You can leave your car parked there and a shuttle runs to and from the ships.
