Gailerina Posted August 28, 2014 #302 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I know I probably should have asked this a few pages back, but what time did you board? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #303 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I know I probably should have asked this a few pages back, but what time did you board? Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app We were finally able to board around noon. One thing that a lot of people don't realize about the Carnival Pride in Baltimore is that the ship doesn't arrive back into Baltimore each Sunday until around 9:00 am. So by the time the ship clears U.S. Customs and everyone disembarks it is around noon every week when the new passengers start to board the Pride.

Margienj Posted August 28, 2014 #305 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We will be on the Pride for the fourth time May 3rd, 2015. We are really looking forward to the 2.0 upgrades. Especially the addition of Guys Burger Joint. We were on the Liberty in 2013 and got to experience Guys. May I say it was "delicious". Really enjoying your pictures and review. We are coming from South Jersey which is an easy 2 hour drive but may treat ourselves to a night in Baltimore this time. Maybe at the same hotel you chose.

What's not to love about Guys Burgers....the are so yummy :) That was a grea hotel for a pre-cruise stay but remember by the time you guys cruise it will be a Best Western and not a Sleep Inn. Thank-You for following my review. I hope you continue to enjoy the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #307 Share Posted August 28, 2014 OK I am back and ready to post some more pics.....who's ready for some more :) After Trivia I decided to go and try Tea Time. I had always to go before but just never did because....1. I don't like tea and 2. My dad never wanted to go with me. So I decided to go and give it a try this time. I ordered a hot chocolate instead of tea and that was good. The little snacks were very good Getting the dining room ready for dinner However....other than the hot chocolate and the tasty snacks. I didn't care for tea time. I sat at a table by myself. There were maybe 150 people at Tea Time and I was the only person sitting by myself....It was being the last person picked at recess to play kickball :( I quickly drank my chocolate and ate my treat and I left. There was even one lady who came in by herself and the waiter asked if she would like to sit here (with me) and the lady said "NO." I hope that lady reads my review because she was rude and hurt my feelings I don't think I will be attending another Tea Time anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #308 Share Posted August 28, 2014 After my unfortunate time at Tea....I decided to head out and explore to try and find my dad back. I didn't have to go far...he was still out playing trivia. This time he was playing Classic TV trivia We decided to take a walk outside and check out the weather We had just cruised through a rain storm because it was still raining out. Even though it is raining it still doesn't stop the kids from being in the pool This pool has the roof over it so that it can close during inclement weather. I bet it is really hot and steamy under there with the roof closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #309 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Dad and I decided to head back to the cabin to start getting ready for dinner. My mom was already getting ready. Tonight was a cruise casual night....hallelujah and my favorite thing in the MDR was on the menu tonight...the Chicken Quesadilla. They are so yummy My mom wanted you to see her baby shrimp ;) Representing the Carnival Dream on the Carnival Pride :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #310 Share Posted August 28, 2014 After dinner I wanted to check out the shops onboard to see if there were any t-shirts that I just absolutely couldn't live without :p Who doesn't love Fun Ship Freddy :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vmalcolm Posted August 28, 2014 #311 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Totally would have joined you for tea! I've stopped by the tea a couple of times, but because no one wanted to go with me I didn't stay. Looked a little sedate to me. I would hope that the waiters would seat individuals with other individuals. I meet more fun people sitting with them during meals! Going on the Pride November 30th so I am loving your review!

wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #312 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've got a "bright idea"...see what I did there :p So after shopping we headed into the Butterflies Lounge to check out the comedians for the night. They were both OK......but not great :rolleyes: There are butterflies everywhere :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #313 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So that is the end of Day #3 onboard....next up is our First Port of Call in Grand Turk :D I love Grand Turk so I was super excited to be going back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #314 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We woke to a waiter knocking on our door with our breakfast. On early port days we always order room service so that we can get ready while we wait for our breakfast When I pulled the curtains back this is what we saw..... NO....it can't be raining :( Dad is sitting and waiting for the rain to stop so that we can get off the ship After about 10 minutes of rain....the clouds moved away and we got off the ship Mom is ready for a fun day....but uh oh where's Dad :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #315 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Go away clouds...we wanna get some sun today There's my dad...he was stopped at security when we were disembarking because they wanted to use the wand over his insulin pump. That has never happened before :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #316 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Using this cart/walker for my dad was perfect in ports because he could sit down when he needed to. Plus there was storage space under the seat for more t-shirts :p This was our first chance to see the full length of the ship....the Pride is a big one. I could look at cruise ships all day long I took this picture not thinking it would show up because it was very bright but notice the rainbow...it stops right at the bridge. I LOVE THIS PHOTO :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa0719 Posted August 28, 2014 #317 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Awwww that's awesome. Enjoy your meal at Captain James....what was the Groupon for?? Be sure to park in the Captain James Landing parking lot and them enjoy your lunch. And leave your car there while you ride the water taxi....it is so convenient. Just be sure to verify with your waiter that it's ok to leave your car there....we didn't have an issue. And I'm sure you won't either. Be sure to ride all the Water Taxi routes. They are so unique and a great way to see the city. Come back and report how your day was....I would love to hear about it It was $30 of food for $15 . . . we will only do the lunch sandwiches so that should be perfect. I was looking at all the routes last night and we will be sure to catch them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #318 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This was my first Caribbean rainbow We made it to Grand Turk :) It was still very quiet in the cruise center....we were in port in Grand Turk from 7:00 to 2:00 pm. Not nearly long enough to enjoy this beautiful piece of Paradise Margaritaville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #322 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We only had one thing planned today for our day in Grand Turk and that was to enjoy the pool at Margaritaville. How could you not enjoy this pool....it was huge, the water was perfect, and it was FREE......Sounds like a Great Day to me I was the first person in the pool :p These are the private cabanas that can be rented in Grand Turk. There are 15 of them and they line the area around the pool. They are rented from Carnival's website and I believe they are $150.00 for the day I spy a Whale Tail. The flow rider would become very active in just a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would rather sit by yourself and not try to meet anyone new....:rolleyes: Isn't the point of a cruise to meet new people and find out where they are from and why they enjoy cruising :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #324 Share Posted August 28, 2014 My mom took this picture...I was still having fun swimming around. As you can see it was still like I had the whole pool to myself Dad got in with me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted August 28, 2014 Author #325 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Before we left home I picked up a beach ball and a small inner tube to bring with us on the cruise to play with at the Margaritaville pool and in our next port of call....Half Moon Cay. These were such a great idea. I blew it up once we got to Grand Turk and then deflated it when we were getting ready to leave to put in bag to use for our next port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
