Freedom of the seas is mid size???? I don't think you want to come back to Carnival then lol

A friends is onboard the Pride now and he said it was down a cpl days ago, I'll ask him if it is still down and if he has heard anymore about it.

 

Edit. He says it is still down.

Thanks! that sux :(

It was operating I think one day on our cruise last week (6/26 sailing), then down the rest of the week. I did see a dude working on it intermittently. The attendant on the yellow slide said the Green Thunder door wasn't working right when I asked him about it on Wednesday, June 29.

Thanks for the update!

I saw a report that it wasn't working last week & was closed. Seems to be happening quite a bit over the year & a half it's been in service. I enjoyed it immensely my last cruise, and would be a little bummed if it wasn't functioning come this Sunday! not that it would make or break my trip, but it's quite a rush. Especially after a few miller lites. I'm just perplexed why they can't get it fixed and keep it fixed, and have a plan of action should something go wrong with it while cruising.

good product, good price, nice loyalty perks. Plus my wife won't go on another line without the priority embarkation...you know what they say happy wife....

Pride is a great ship, we went March 2015 & are leaving again this coming Sunday. Best class of cruise ship in my opinion, large ship but not mega ship, does not seem as crowded when compared to other ships. Great food options with the 2.0 enhancements.

They say 1:30 but the ship is normally in port around 9am with boarding beginning around noon....however many times in Baltimore due to weather and other delays the Pride arrives late, so it's pretty much a crap shoot. My cruise on the pride last March we arrived around10:45, and I believe we were on the ship around 12:15-12:30. I plan on arriving around the same time this time around (same cruise as you). I would say if you have FTTF plan on being their for your early check in window, unless they send you a communication that the ship is running late.

Seems like the normal goofy, energetic, CD type from what I've seen on his FB page, and YouTube videos. With the radio DJ voice

Chocolates on the pillow are one of those nice little touches they have been taking away (freebies in the bathroom, etc). All those nice little touches added up together made you feel special on vacation. They should get back to more of that, instead of sky rides, and imax theatres.

thanks for the report! Seuss brunch is well worth the $5pp. I think your daughter would absolutely enjoy it

I would avoid the entire European continent! :eek:

It's almost like they want you not to know for the first few , so they can just assign you a time

They are going to staggered check in for Baltimore beginning July 10th (my cruise). I don't have a problem with this, but I think there are two reasons it's not being rolled out correctly:

A. I only found out through a post oh J.H.'s page, total luck. no communication via email or anything from Carnival.

B. wouldn't it make more sense to pick a date and announce any future booking from this time on must select a check in time? Instead of haphazardly announcing 11 days before a cruise that you must select one to people who have already checked in. Seems a bit confusing.

I guess it doesn't matter much to me being Platinum, even though they still want you to pick out a time slot. I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of confusion at the port 7-10-16 with people being turned away and what not, and I don't think it's their fault. many just might not know

Just my thoughts...

The kids are 23, 19 and 15 yr old twins. On paper my hubby was in the kids room and the 19 yr old w me due to Carnival restrictions however in actuality hubby was w me in and all 4 kids were together. Yes I know against the rules. The stewards were well aware of what we were doing

I don't see that as against the rules (I now technically it is). You're allowed to book the younger ones up to three staterooms away. So swapping rooms and putting them on another deck with the older guys is solid to me! :)

I personally never had trouble with YTD dining after three cruises with it. Waited 2x total out of those three trips with the longest 40 mins. And it's not like I was starving with all the food consumption I was doing on the trip . ha!

yes they are. But you have to wear pants over them

no dome, used to be on the Destiny prior to becoming Sunshine. Curious choice of ships to bring to NYC. Fine for the summer, but fall cruises get chilly

Thanks for your review! Looks like you had a blast from the pics :) Leaving July 10th for 2nd time around on the Pride, & can't wait

150 is a no brainer. I woulda snagged that one

haha! yes JH often pokes fun at himself for not having the schedule. I'll know definitively who it is on July 10th, not long now!

It's Steve Schwartz trust me. Go on a certain social media page, and search "Schwartz - Cruise Director". he's on the ship right now, and posts photos

My Pride cruise March of 2015, cabin 4178 had the small flat screen. Even though, I don't want that much TV on the ship, to me me it's a nice little thing. Makes room feel more modern, and that they are updating things.

never had trouble with YTD. waited three times out of three cruises with it, longest maybe 25 mins. Certainly never , ever waited for breakfast at the buffet in 21 years. Something is up here...

I'm a NJ / NY pizza guy. I'm fine with the size of it. But I don't need it to be make to order. They should operate it like a traditional pizzeria, and have it ready for you, just heat it up if need be. The lines back up otherwise
