Had a nice time on the Carnival Pride enjoying the sun and warmth of the Caribbean. Left as scheduled out of Tampa on December 28th, despite an email and text from Carnival tell us that the ship had a late arrival because of 2 passengers needing immediate medical attention who had to be taken back to Cayman.
