cellfree Posted August 22, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Does anyone think we will be cruising out of Tampa on the Pride this year? We have November 28 booked and as of now it is not cancelled. Got a great rate along with Cheers. A little afraid to get too excited about it though. I have always felt anticipation is half the fun, but thinking a cancellation might be around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocolate melting cake Posted August 22, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I REALLY hope you are able to get on the Pride November 28. We are supposed to board the Pride Oct. 31 in Baltimore for a 14 day cruise ending in Tampa Nov. 14. Because of the 14 day aspect, we will travel with 100% vaccinated, rather than 95% and we have to show a negative covid test taken within 72 hours in order to board!

Our favorite part is the singing Maitre D, Ken Byrnes but I'm not sure how long he'll stay once the Pride reaches Tampa. Here is a link to an "album" of our 2019 cruise, just click on any picture to make it larger and you'll see parts of the ship. Enjoy your cruise!

Easy to get around. Great crew. Ken Byrne was a highlight in the MDR. David's was great. Pride was the one ship where I met the same passengers over and over again due to the good casino offers. One lady I met sailed twice a month since she lived 10 minutes from the port. I will miss her going to Tampa but looking forward to Legend.

Djptcp Posted August 22, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Intercruises, the ground crews at the Port of Tampa, said last month they were going to start up at the Port of Tampa in August or September 2021. DH worked part-time for Intercruises until the 2020 cruise pause and he received an email last month asking if he wanted to return to work. He declined since we have 8 cruises booked from now until Dec. 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasmyne Posted August 22, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 22, 2021 We are on the10/31/21. Her last sailing out of Baltimore. While it is hard to say goodbye to the Pride, I know you will enjoy her just as much as we did. So get excited!! She is coming your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bases5 Posted August 22, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 22, 2021 We are on the first cruise 11/14 and pretty sure it will go. The Pride has several Baltimore cruises going before the repo cruise that have not been canceled as of yet. John said early next week there would be announcements to October/ November start ups and itineraries. Since the Caymans are closed I’m assuming a new port will be added or just another sea day. Hopefully we will know concrete information next week or as much as possible in this day and age 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djptcp Posted August 22, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 22, 2021 We have 3 Pride cruises booked, but not until Jan., Nov/Dec. B2B. Have sailed on her several times and like the ship a lot. We live about 40 minutes from the Port of Tampa and enjoy that convenience. Just wish it had the Cuchina del Capitano specialty restaurant - got hooked on it on our Magic cruise on Aug. 12th. Ate dinner there twice and loved it. We don't do the Steakhouse anymore, but instead order the Steakhouse selections in the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
