Pride back to Baltimore in '24

[pogoism9]

Based on the itineraries that Heald posted on that other site, looks like Baltimore is getting the Pride back in April of 2024! 🥰

Yes, Pride is coming back! I figured out why:

 

Legend needs a dry dock in April 2024. Transatlantics to Europe happen in April. If Pride was to do Europe, then Pride and Legend would be crossing the ocean at the same time. (Legend without passengers) So then Carnival saw that it makes more sense for Legend to do the Europe cruises since Legend will be there already for the dry dock. It saves fuel and makes more sense. So Pride will be in Baltimore for the 2024 summer and Legend in Europe for summer 2024. Legend will return to Baltimore in the fall of 2024 because Pride's Baltimore cruises are only scheduled through October. Legend would be back in early November, so it lines up.

 

Summary:

 

Pride: Baltimore summer, back to Tampa in fall

Legend: Europe summer, dry dock early summer, back to Baltimore in fall.

Makes sense to me. We're looking to do Europe in 2024, so we'll be happy with the Legend. 😎

Looked at those as well. Pricey though. 😎

They are, so I figured I will save my Milestone benefit to help offset it! 😎 Gotta pay for that Cheers package!  😜  DH has been wanting to see Greenland, so this is perfect.

So looks like just the Elation or Paradise out of Tampa for most of 2024? Unless the Miracle or Luminousa takes the spot for the summer?

That's a great plan! Don't think I'll get to my 75th Milestone cruise by then, but that's the type of cruise I would use it on. 😎
