A good friend and I sailed aboard the Carnival Pride from Baltimore to the Bahamas on 27 March 2016 for a 7 night sailing. I had sailed the Pride several times previously; the last being prior to the recent renovations.

We had an absolutely fabulous trip. Baltimore is a great embarkation port. Everything is extremely well coordinated. We arrived a bit before our scheduled time as family dropped us off on the way to other planned activities. Luggage drop off was easy and the security check went quickly. We waited in the registration line for about 15 minutes and then were seated to wait to board; we boarded in less than 10 minutes.

The ship is still as beautiful as ever. Love the outdoor movie screen, the new restaurants and bars, and Green Thunder!!!! Yes, two women in their late 50's/early 60's tried Green Thunder! Read more
