The child was running around Club C in his socks which caused him to slip a little to much when he was running and it was my daughter who got hurt - she will be fine we have already taken her to her normal doctor luckily we have been thru a broken collar bone before so we knew it was not a grave emergency to jump off the ship

 

Just curious how old are the children in Club C? Isn't there supervision in Club? What did Carnival say about the accident? Just curious

You can sign up for the text alerts while doing your on line checkin. But since you are the first trip after drydock, the ship will be dead heading into Baltimore so the chances of a late arrival (unless of some sort of delay at the drydock) are minimal.

 

In 2015 we were on Pride and Saturday afternoon we started getting texts from Carnival about a delayed arrival and not to show up before 3pm. Well, 3pm became 5pm and we boarded after 6pm (talk about a mad house in the terminal!!). Didn't sail until 10 or 11 I think.

OMG. In 2010 my daughter got married on the Pride. She had her wedding before the ship departed and many guests came to the wedding and reception that were not sailing with us. That kinda of delay would have killed us. OMG what a nightmare for anyone getting married on that cruise.

Not really, that's what they say. Same as saying you can't smoke in the casino unless you are playing a machine. I've seen many do both. Especially after a day or so on a new cruise, as the servers get to know who their DOU patrons are, they are eager to bring you a beverage. Now a waiter may ignore or delay getting an order to someone who previously didn't tip them, that's another story.

I thought they stopped smoking in the Casino a few years ago.

My sister swears by the French Door Interior cabins.

The BLT is my go to room service item but may have to add the wings if they that good.

I'll be in the Cookie group. Any thoughts on him?

You DON'T select BOARDING time

You select CHECK-IN time

 

Boarding time and Check-in time is not the same thing.

 

Yes, it's relatively new.

About 6 mos out

thanks

Isn't it really the same. I can't board until I check-in? If I am stuck with a later time I will be on the ship later.

Coffee does not count against your 15 drink limit. Only alcoholic beverages count against your limit.

thank you

Would have never thought an alcoholic drink would count against my 15 alcoholic drink limit.

I get it but come on those coffee drinks with alcohol aren't really drinks.

Can anyone tell me when you select your boarding time? Is this new? My last cruise was two years ago and I do not remember doing this for the pride? If you have Faster to the Fun you still cannot board early?

Yes, coffee from the coffee stand is included with the beverage package.

Do you know if the coffee counts against your 15 drink limit?

I am also interested although it too late if someone says it was horrible. I am booked on a Bermuda cruise this fall.

Since you brought up "cutbacks", here's something I've thought about. I know I'm not in the minority when I say that the Playlist Productions are basically crap. Obviously, Carnival is doing what they can (whether we like it or not) to keep cruise fares affordable for the average family. However, I would not be too upset if Carnival raised their prices a few dollars per person in order to afford a live band and some better entertainment in the theater. I don't care about not having chocolates on my pillow. They weren't that good any way. I don't care one way or the other about having or not having tablecloths in the MDR. But I do miss having a live band and good entertainment in the theater.

totally agree.

how did you make out? I am interested

since your group sounds a lot like mine.

Could one order a bucket of beer towards the drink package and then not drink it all to take one or two off the ship?

No buckets with the cheers card.

I don't carry a pocketbook/purse when Iam on the ship. I wear a lanyard for my S&S. I don't really like it on my neck but I keep a few dollars for tips along with my card. I don't think the wristband would work for me unless there is a pocket for my tip money.

just wanted to wish you the best on your journey to remission. I hope you enjoy every minute of your cruise.

Matt and Ashley, job well done. Excellent review, great pictures. We live in Phila and Baltimore is my favorite cruise port. Easy drive straight down 95. The Pride is my favorite ship and I have sailed her 3-4 times. My daughter actually got married on her.

Because my Florida mother and sister always have to fly to Baltimore to cruise with us, we decided it was our turn to fly. So we are on the Pride in 2 weeks out of Tampa. Your review helped get me excited about the cruise.

Thank you both for sharing with all of us. It is true generosity. I look forward to your next review.

They still did it last month on the Magic, so I am sure they will. It's the same menu on the Pride.

Thanks JennyD1. Lucky you. Cruise last month and this month. I can only dream.

Can you still get the pasta entree as a starter?

thanks

I will be cruising on the Pride on January 22 when she sails from Tampa. This will be my first time on the Pride.

Hi Jenny, I will be on that cruise too. Can't wait

Is anyone really worried they won't be able to buy a drink upon boarding?

Yes, that is when my vacation begins

Loving the excitement. We leave in a little under 3 weeks on the Pride but out of Tampa. I have cruised 3x on the Pride out of Baltimore. My favorite ship and port. Already know I am going to love your review.

thank you

Thank you for all the great information. We had 8 going and had rented 2 cabanas but we lost two cruisers. Based on your information I think we can cancel one and just pay the extra for two. Your review was very helpful. thanks so much. Great pictures too.

We have reserved a Cabana at Mahogany Bay. The excursion says it's good for four people but we have six. Has anyone had experience getting two more people in that area?

I would like an answer to this question as we have the same situation.
