Mskala Posted September 16, 2011 Author #26 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Where did you rent the Jet Ski's from and how much were they? There is a booth on Lucaya Beach where you can rent various water activities. The jet skis were $70 per jet ski for 30min. They also have parasailing, snorkeling, and other activities as well.

Mskala Posted September 16, 2011 Author #27 Share Posted September 16, 2011 This was the sailing on the Pride that we did in August 2010- lots of fun! Although I was a bit disappointed in Freeport :( Maybe if we had gone to Nassau last and Freeport first...but after seeing Nassau first- it made Freeport seem too industrial and not "tropical" enough for me. Did you get this feeling too? I did get this feeling and it is my opinion that unless they do some serious work, Freeport be removed from Carnival's itinerary. However, the free beach at Lucaya was really nice. And on ou rlast trip, we went horseback riding and got to see some of the many unspoiled, although, not as accessible, beaches.

CrusinCyndi Posted September 16, 2011 #28 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Glad to know you had a great time. Going on her in a few months. Does the Pride rooms have flat screen TV? I saw some pictures online and it looks like only the suites have flat screens at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember seeing any of them? We are on the Pride in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember seeing any of them? We are on the Pride in October. I believe you're thinking of water skiing. Jetski and Waverunners are the same thing. Just different brand names. You sit down on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mskala Posted September 16, 2011 Author #33 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Is there anywhere on the free beach at Lucaya Beach to rent chairs? I don't recall seeing any chairs or umbrellas on the beach. Then again, we stopped dead once we saw the jet skis so we didn't even tour the beach.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RI_Lady Posted September 17, 2011 #37 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Thank you for the information! We are booked on Pride for December 4 sailing to Bahamas...it is an 8 hour drive to Baltimore for us but the savings in airfare makes this a great deal for us! Nice to hear some positive feedback about Pride! Now I am really getting excited!! My DH and I have enjoyed cruises on the Pride over the last few years and we are booked for our third voyage in February 2011. Like you, we drive a long distance but we think the savings are worth it. In February the weather is unpredictable and flights can be delayed. DH and I will drive anywhere any time, and are not afraid to drive in the snow! We survived the Blizzard of 1978 and drove from Boston Ma to RI. 10 hours but we made it(LOL).:rolleyes: We like the layout of the ship, the food and service have been wonderful and the SERENITY area for adults only is great. Enjoy and keep us posted on your experiences! Be sure to try the the Bitter and Blanc desert when it is offered! Karen:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelli Posted September 20, 2011 #39 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Unfortunately, the tvs are not flat screeen. Our cabin (5243-Deluxe Balcony) had a flat screen. But our friends' cabin (4239-Aft Extended Balcony) did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
