Western Caribbean Carnival Pride Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

I did two connected cruises, first a Panama Canal Transit and second a full ship charter with Bare Necessities Tour and Travel to the Western Caribbean. The Pride has been refurbished, mainly public area's. Fitness centre is very good, light and modern now. I love the size of the ship. It can hold approx 2000 guests and that is just OK for me. Big enough for the entertainment and small enough for ...

It is always good to be a sea. Here are a few things I wish I knew on this cruise. PARKING. Its been a few years (and maybe 40 cruises ago) we sailed out of Tampa. Thankfully we were close enough to drive. Frankly it is a bit confusing because the lots near the ship are not ship parking, they are for the aquarium. Do not attempt to park near the ship. The ship parking is a 4 story ...

Overall a good experience for our 65th wedding anniversary ! We had some concerns regarding accessibility since both wife and I using walkers, but had no problem boarding or onboard. Boarding assistance was amazing. Boarding we were taken to elevator at our room, disembarking taken to curb with our luggage Folding walkers to move in and out of cabin was bothersome but there was plenty of room ...

Selected this cruise based on a great casino rate & perks plus port within an hour of our home. The ship is showing some signs of its age and in need of some refurbishing but it was clean, had a fun casino, plenty of dining options and chill vibe. All of the staff no matter which bar, passing them in a hall/lobby were friendly. All of the bars were fantastic but during the day, we never left the ...

Strange behavior from my room steward…???!!! First, For some reason he thinks I need 10 rolls of toilet paper at any given time. Second, he got angry that the tucked my top sheet in under the mattress at the foot of the bed, so now he only provides a top sheet that goes as far as my waist, making it impossible to tuck in properly. If I tucked it in it would go from the foot of the bed to my knees. ...

My wife and I characterize ourselves as seasoned cruisers having been on over 15 of them over the years. We took a few years off but now that we retired, we're back at sea. The cruise left Tampa on a Saturday and arrived back eight days later on a Sunday. We had taken advantage of a great casino promo code linked to our VIFP accounts and got an obstructed view balcony and a fair amount of ...

Just returned from a 7-day Caribbean cruise on Carnival Pride, out of Tampa, FL. This was our first cruise since Covid, and it was so nice to be out and about again! In most areas of the ship, masks were required but the majority of passengers wore them wrong (below the nose) or wore them sporadically. Don't count on other people's compliance with mask mandates to keep you from getting Covid; ...

We chose this cruise as going to the Panama Canal was on my bucket list. My great grandfather had actually worked building the original canal and I wanted to experience it for myself. There were 4 of us adults in an extended balcony cabin on deck 7. The cabin itself was fine; plenty of storage for the 4 of us as I have come to expect with a Carnival ship. There were some dents and scratches ...

This was our 15th cruise, 2nd on Pride, mostly Carnival but also RCL, Celebrity and NCL. Pride is only from Tampa for a few weeks before return to Baltimore so we took advantage of a 7 day to Western Caribbean. Pride is the ideal size for new cruisers and especially now with the impressive 2.0 upgrade apparently costing near $75M. It's about as large a ship that can sail out of Tampa to pass ...
