I can't say enough good things about the cruise my DH and I took to celebrate our 25th anniversary on the Carnival Pride. From the accommodations, to the friendly crew, to the Carnival Excursions, the entire experience was absolutely fantastic. This was only our second cruise (first back in 1999), but we've already booked 2 more! We boarded the ship in Baltimore - such an easy boarding ...
My husband and I cruised out of Baltimore on the Pride to Bermuda on July 2nd. This was our second time on this ship, but it previously hadn't had the 2.0 upgrades. The ship has changed some, but most of the Renaissance decor is the same. The ship was definitely kept clean.
I enjoyed most of the food, especially Guy's burgers and dinner in David's Steakhouse. We chose to do My Time Dining. We ...
One of the reasons I booked a cruise from Baltimore was to "sail" down the Chesapeake Bay but since this cruise was delayed by 7 hours, it was dark when that part of the cruise finally happened.
I leave on the West Coast now but am from the DC area and missing that Bay experience was really disappointing. The reason for the delay was a "medical deviation" so I cannot fault Carnival since the ...
We really had a great time, our room Stewart was great he ask if we wanted morning or evening cleaning or both, we said both no problems, we had early dining and our wait staff was superb. And we ate Guy's burger very good. The shows were great. Half Moon Cay was one of the nicest beach we ever seen, we had a cabana which was nice but you had shady spots if you do not want to spend the money. ...
Actually, it's our 1st Carnival Cruise in 4 years. Have been sailing on RCL the past few years and wanted a change of pace and this cruise fit our schedule better. Plus we were getting back on the "FUN" Ship. Embarkation - Slow - Long lines. Couldn't get onto to ship until after 2pm and all had to be on by 4pm - a lot of folks coming onboard in 2 hours! Felt very rushed, time that we got ...
The service we received was stellar!! From our on boarding to disembarking was a a smooth transition. We truly want to thank our room services "Greg" who made sure our cabin was clean everyday, not an easy task when traveling with two teen-agers. Greg was there every step of the way making sure that we were comfortable and our needs were met.
We also want to thank our head waiter "Alfredo" ...
We chose this cruise because Baltimore is the closest port for us (8 hr drive). I knew the ship was an older one. We loved its size but she is showing her age. Every time we opened our balcony door, we would end up with paint specs on our floor. But our steward was great and our bed was very comfortable.
Our stops were Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay & Freeport. I loved Half Moon Cay, liked ...
Let me start by saying the crew and the food were awesome for the most part. The first night a broad we put 200.00 on our sail and sign card and decided to head to the casino and figure when that ran out we were done for the night we had figured out what we wanted to spend each day ahead of time. We had purchased the drink ahead of time so we were playing slots and drinking (not over drinking) ...
My husband and I went on our first cruise this summer on June 4 through June 11 on the Carnival Pride out of Baltimore. The embarkation process was a breeze. Baltimore is very easy to access and the porters and embarkation employees were all very friendly and helpful. Our cabin was on the 12th deck right at the front of the ship next to the bridge and it was a stunning room with great views and ...
Everything was perfect. We had a great time. We arrived early, had no problems parking, boarding and enjoyed the entire week. We have cruised several times in the past but this was our first time leaving from Baltimore. My husband recently had knee surgery so I loved that the porters took luggage from car before we parked. We arrived 4 hours early and our room was ready, bar was open and lunch was ...
