Pride april 21 to 29 review

[jljlinda]

nice dinner, atrium bar, piano bar and bed.Next day was last sea day where we did the same thing only difference was I was Garth Brooks in the Legends show. So I had to be at rehersal for noon till 1:30. Then I spent some time in casino and laid around the lido deck. Met a nice couple before dinner at the casino bar and had some drinks with them, (enough to get my glow on and courage up for the legend show).

 

Thoroughly enjoyed your review!! Any chance you have a video of your Garth Brooks performance that you can post (or Youtube link?) Would love to hear your rendition of "Low Places!" (A few years back, our son performed as Garth in the Legends show on the Splendor and we thought he did a great job! Of course, as you know, Dad's are very prejudiced! His Garth performance can be found at:

I will check out your son's performance as soon as I get home. (can't get Youtube at work)! I actually don't have a video of my performance. They do give you a free dvd and group picture of the show the morning you debark. I had a few cobwebs in my head and forgot to pick it up. I did put on cruise critic if anyone had any video of the show but didnt find anyone.

 

Thanks, Kevin

so now we are booked for the sept 22 sailing of the pride doing Grand Turk, HMC and Freeport. Although this will be our third time doing this itinerary n the pride I love IT. We will finally be gold card members on this cruise.

margaritaman, thanks for your kind remark regarding our son's performance as Garth on the Splendor. Also, I want to say thanks again to you for your great review of the Pride. We have sailed most of Carnivals ships but we have not been on the Pride. Based on your review and the proximity of Baltimore to our home, we will likely book the Pride for a Summer of 2013 sailing (considering July 2013.)

[margaritaman]

So glad to hear that. You will love it I promise! Looking forward to your review when you get back !

[margaritaman]

Thanks, have fun.

Wow, what a nice review! Your family looks really happy to be on the cruise. I almost chose Pride for this year's cruise myself, until my budget made me choose Sensation instead. I had such a great time in Nassau and Freeport. I recognized a lot of places in the Bahamas portion of your review; brought back some good memories. A Spirit class ship is still on my bucket list, though; maybe next year.

Thanks for your comments. I have only ever been on the Pride, but I love the Spirit class. You should definitley go.

What a great review!!! I loved the pictures! We are headed out June 16th to HMC & Grand Turk, and can not wait to go! We did this itinerary Jan '12 and it was great!!! I am going to have to find that pirate ship in Freeport!!!! Thanks!

Just ask them on the beach where the pirate ship is and they will tell you. Enjoy your cruise.

[margaritaman]

just a thought, I bought the cheers program on the second day of the cruise. now i am hearing that they will credit you up to one hundred dollars for money you spent on drinks on the first day. i believe i spent around 150 dollars but no one told me this. Have you heard this before, just curious?

How do you get to participate in the Legends show? We are sailing the Pride in September, and it sounds like a lot of fun.

 

Thanks so much for your review!

Pride Sept 22 Here we come!

[CruiseyKer]

Margaritaman thank you so so much for your review and your fantastic pictures! You have a beautiful family!! My boyfriend and I will be cruising on the pride this august going to port Canaveral and the Bahamas. I wanted to ask if they still had the sushi stand on board? I cruised on the pride back in 2009 and I saw a post where someone said they took the sushi stand off another ship and I wanted to know if the pride had theirs taken away as well?

[bubbakirk43]

Very nice review ,been to freeport and nassau 3 times ,going to cozumel ,belize ,roatan and costa maya on the carnival dream the end of august.Have read great reviews about the pride.

[pichjoe]

Margaritaman enjoyed your review, the DW and myself were on the Pride in February and we also booked the Sept. 22nd cruise, I think the itinerary is better IMHO. Looking forward to another great cruise on the Pride out of Baltimore.

We were on the Pride in May. The sushi stand was there.

1st, beautiful family and great review. We did this trip on the pride in February and went to magic kingdom as well. This review is like reliving our cruise...thank you! Can't wait to read more.

 

I am going on the Pride next February, can you tell me how cold it gets on the ship? Is the Pool area covered?

 

Thanks

[WetToes]

I don't get chilly too often, but some say the dining room can be a bit cool. I did once use a wrap in the Taj Mahal, where the shows are. Carry a wrap with you if you are someone who gets chilly often.

There is a covered pool, but it isn't always covered.

Hope you enjoy your cruise. :)

EMMDM1 the first sea day was cold even though the sun was out and it was windy, the cover over the pool and water being heated made this area very busy with kids and adults alike. The ship itself wasn't bad at all as far as the temperature, when the automatic doors open the wind was bad however.
