Here are some good tips to know before cruising on the Carnival Pride:
1) when you get on board, you can't go straight to your room. You have to wait for them to finish cleaning it up, which happens around 3:30/4PM. check-in was fine and fast (we got there at 12pm) but we waited for about 2.5 hours to get to our room. check-out went really fast for us personally because we did self-assist.
2) it's really cold when you go this time of year! pack sweatshirts, leggings, and tights! this ship is cold, as well as all of our ports of call. We went to Pt. Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport. It never got above mid-70s.
