Carnival Pride Cruise Reviews

Transfer from Airport to Cruise ship: - They had us waiting 1.5 hours before finally getting us there and some of the staff was starting to make comments about not making it on the cruise. Next time I will do Uber from Airport to Cruise terminal. Embarkation: Since we were so late, we got right on and had no lines. I used the Verifly app they suggested before hand to get all the Covid stuff ...

We chose this 8-night cruise onboard the Carnival Pride for one reason: the Panama Canal. A Panama Canal Cruise has been on our bucket list and we were thrilled when we discovered this cruise fit into our schedule. We are frequent Carnival cruisers, but we were a little apprehensive about the age of the Carnival Pride. The Pride showed its age, but I loved the nostalgic feel of the ship. ...

My wife and I had not been on a cruise for several years and were just about to schedule one when COVID hit. We chose the Panama Canal trip as we wanted to go places that we had never been before and the canal was an opportunity of a lifetime! Due to the nature of this cruise there were only 2 port days, on in Limon, Costa Rica and the other in Grand Cayman. Organization for Limon was well done ...

The cruise was made amazing by the friendly and wonderful crew. Everyone from the folks washing the windows to the Maitre D at the restaurant greeted us with a smile and a hello. Three people really stood out: Ravi in the Alchemy Bar who could come up with the most amazing drinks - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic! Our room steward Eka, who gave us service above and beyond what we expected. ...

My wife and I were recently fortunate to be able to spend 14 nights in February on the Carnival Pride stopping at many Caribbean ports. We had a great time, and I would like to share some of our observations. First, the boarding process during Covid. We were expected to be tested two days before departure, plus bring our vaccination cards. In addition, we were retested in the terminal before ...

Every night and sometimes through the day I would go and play the tables in the casino. Everyone was nice but Helber’s hospitality was exceptional. He took the time to explain any game he was the dealer at. The patience he had was phenomenal. It was a pleasant experience. The room was great, along with Kay the waiter the dancing he did put a smile on everyone’s face. Definitely a better ...

After 23 months, I was so ready to get back out on the open seas. Had never been on the Pride, but had been on one of her sister ships. So I was familiar with the ship’s layout. Easy to navigate. Glad that we could walk through the casino without having to smell cigarette smoke. I only ate in the MDR for breakfast. Two of the days were for Seaday brunch. Service was excellent and attentive. ...

This is my 17th Carnival Cruise Line cruise and fourth on the Carnival Pride which used to sail from Baltimore, MD, now it sails out of Tampa FL. Embarkment was a little slow going due to a lack of wheelchair pushers for my wife, once we did get on we went to the Lido deck for their buffet. The food offerings at the embarkment buffet had limited offerings and I would have to rate the variety ...

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 ...

The cruise was running at restricted levels which made the trip very pleasant. The cruise through the canal was delightful as we were able to see the locks from many different location. They did have crowds on the front decks and some people brought chairs and sat through the locks but most people were very courteous. I compare this to pre covid trip back in 2019 and the front of the ship was just ...
