mom1965 Posted February 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Can you make reservations for Cucina del Capitana before you sail? When I went into specialty dining only the steakhouse showed up. Also can somebody please give me the email to the Maitre'D. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnsnowbunny Posted February 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The Pride does not have the Italian restaurant. David's steak house is the only specialty restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelersfan4ever Posted February 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (The Pride does not have the Italian restaurant. David's steak house is the only specialty restaurant.) Having eaten at David's Steakhouse on our last cruise on the Pride, I strongly suggest skipping it. We were very disappointed, food was mediocre at best, service was slow. We regret wasting our money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevInPitt Posted February 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Ken Byrne is the Maître D on the Pride (prmaitred@carnival.com). A very cordial Irishman with a Frank Sinatra-like singing voice. Mention "Kevin Barry" and you might get a small bonus (but I'm not making any promises). I would disagree with the previous poster about the Steakhouse. Our experiences were enjoyable and delicious with exceptional service. The service pace is noticeably slower than the MDR but we didn't find it unusual for the multi-course finer dining experience. If you have the desire and/or opportunity to try the Chef's Table, I highly recommend that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just emailed Ken with a request for my upcoming sailing ... I totally dropped your name in my email - He replied REALLY fast and also told me to "Give my regards to Kevin" :) so I figured I would pass along the message, and thank you for giving me his email address. Hopefully he can accommodate my request. Cheers! Jeff aka Recovery Dude :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this, ate there 7 days ago, it was very good and I wish I could go there tomorrow night :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedhangover Posted February 11, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Not sure how many people know this, Ken absolutely loves KFC fried chicken, original recipe. A couple weeks ago we stopped and bought him a bucket in St Thomas on the way back from Coqui Beach. I stuffed it in my backpack and it went through security without a hitch but I must admit the whole time carrying it I was really hungry and wanted to eat the bucket myself. I'd love to see others else carry on this "tradition". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusin Karen Posted February 11, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 11, 2016 We are going on the Pride on 3/13. I heard that Ken Byrne is leaving for the Vista and the cruise BEFORE ours is his last one on the Pride. :(:(:(:( Anyone know differently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
