CarnivalPride-July272014376_zps90e603fb.jpg

Once we had our ice cream we headed down to Lido Deck to buy 2 Thirsty Frog Red glasses. I love those and they were cheap too....only $4.95. I broke the last one I got on the Dream in April. It dropped out of the cupboard and shattered so I was determined to come home with a couple on this cruise. They usually don't put them out until the last couple days of the cruise.

 

This was Tony K.....he played keyboard and sang in the Atrium. We enjoyed listening to him

This is what was waiting for us when we arrived back to the cabin. Any guesses what this one is??? :) My mom and I had a debate going so the next morning I asked the room steward and I was surprise what he said

Well that was the end of Day #6 onboard the Carnival Pride and our Port stop in Freeport. But don't be going anywhere quite yet because it's not over yet.....there is still one more day to go....Our Final Day at Sea.

 

And there was something on our final sea day that we had never experienced before on a cruise.....any guesses of what it might be???? :) ;) :p

I love the night time photos onboard. Brings back good memories of night time strolls. :)

 

 

 

Don't leave us hanging. What's the towel critter?

 

 

I said the towel animal looked like an Eskimo....my mom said it was a dog....but it is indeed a Teddy Bear. Not sure if I see a teddy bear here

OOOO you had me at Open Bar :p You really have an open bar for the day....my group would love that. Thanks for the tip. When we all cruise together on the Dream in December I am going to bring up renting the Grand Villa.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

It is unlimited, but the offerings are limited. If you already have your date, get it booked soon. They opened the bar about 10 am and went to about 2pm. The shore excursion description should list what alcohol is part of the unlimited bar. Unlimited sodas as well, plus snacks etc.

I still remember - there were several tropical mixed drinks (I was very partial to the rum punch:D), wine, beer, soda. It was easy enough to do things like rum and coke. I'm with Carolyn (well, literally we were in 2011:)) - it's not cheap, but it's worth it.

She is on the cruise with me in December. We are both flower girls in our friends wedding in December.

 

Fuji is also a good brand for a point and shoot underwater camera. Come back and let me know what you decided to purchase for an underwater camera

 

 

Will definitely let you know which one I choose. Plan on getting it before my November cruise.

 

Looks like they built up the port area in Freeport since the last time I was there. I know there were a few shops but I do not remember much else.

 

Have fun on your cruise in December. Sounds like it will be fun.

Thanks Again for the tips

Haha. The good things in life are never cheap but definitely worth it in the end. I was originally thinking of just booking one of the Big cabanas but the private chef and open bar for the day would be a great way to enjoy the day in Paradise

Yes Half Moon Cay is definitely up there on my list for my favorite ports of call.

 

Do you know what you're doing in Belize and Roatan yet??

I just looked at a new point and shoot camera yesterday. My birthday is next month and would be a great gift to myself....haha ;-)

 

Yeah the port area in Freeport has definitely expanded over the years. It used to be very industrial (parts of it still is) but now there are shops, Señor Frogs, Fat Tuesdays, and other food/drink stands.

 

Oh yeah our cruise in December is going to be a blast....I can't wait

Thank You. We have only been to St. Thomas once and we would love to go back again. The cruise that we are looking at for May on the Glory stops in St. Thomas.

 

Haha...yeah my parents are pretty great. We had a great time as a family at their anniversary dinner.

 

Thank you for commenting and following my review

Do you happen to know if the Pride still has a sushi cart every evening before dinner? It used to be outside the casino. Wondering if they still have it.

 

Looking forward to the rest of your review!

 

 

No they no longer have that. It is now the taste bar and it was only open on 3 nights of our cruise

Thanks. My daughter is going to be bummed out since she loves sushi. But I'm sure she won't go hungry:D.

 

 

Haha. Yeah I'm sure she'll find something to munch on. The MDR had sushi on the menu one night just check the menu during the day to see what day it is offered
