This is the good and the bad in my honest opinion. We had fun, but it was a long and strange voyage!! I have a lot of tips for you!! Pardon my stream of consciousness.....

WELCOME ABOARD THE CARNIVAL PRIDE!: When you step onto the ship, you'll see wall-to-wall casino-like dEcor. It is a bit overwhelming, but you get used to it. When I got home, my house seemed so empty because I had been so used to seeing the walls covered in red lights, paintings, gaudy curtains, etc. The Carnival Pride certainly doesn't suffer from a lack of things to look at!! There is a HUGE painting of a nude woman holding her crotch located just outside the BEAUTIES disco. I took a photo of it. Seemed like a unique piece of art?

YOUR SIGN ANS SAIL CARD: Your sign and sale card is your key to all things on your Carnival Pride cruise. You will use this card to make purchases at bars, room service (beverages), and at the shops onboard. It is highly convenient to only have to carry one card, as it is also your room key. The only suggestions I have regarding this card are: DO NOT LOSE THIS CARD. And CHECK YOUR BALANCE ON YOUR TV BY PRESSING MENU. You should check your purchases to be sure that the record is error free. I checked mine and I noticed an error whereby I was charges twice for a bottle of water. I had to go to GUEST SERVICES to have the tab adjusted. No big deal, just keep an eye on it. Read more
