Feb. 2015 Post 2.0 Pride Picture Review-including the Chef's Table

Strange as the PBE is usually off only once the entire week.

I know, we would not have been disappointed if it was just the one night, we understand someone needing a break.

Time for Bingo

After Bingo, the playlist shows 80s to the Max. I love 80s music and enjoyed the show. My husband left after a few songs. I like some of the playlist shows, others I don't care for, but this one I liked.

Then off to bed and the towel animal with my sunglasses:

I have the fun times and will post later. I tried to take pictures but they did not turn out good, I will try to scan them tomorrow.

Great review so far!!!

Thanks!

Oooh, loving your review. We are doing the repo in 3 weeks - can't wait.

How much was bingo and did they use the punch card or have they switched to daubers like some ships have?

Thank you and look forward to the rest.

Have fun. Bingo was $20, I can't remember it being that low for some time. It is the punch card, but the same one is used for each game, they became a little worn after a few games. (We had a 10 game bingo session and they were not lying flat by the last game.)

That is a good price, and for 10 games that will be rough on a punch card. But we still play a few times - DH loves it even though we have yet to win.:rolleyes:

I'm new to CCL. Please tell me more about the Taste Bar. It's an actual bar or it's somewhere you go to get food samples? Are they free?

To the person who asked about games, I've seen a few recent Pride reviews w pics of a dartboard, corn hole, and a shuffleboard table. Can't recall which bars they were in tho.

What is this area, please? I always look for quiet spot to read.

Thanks.

Subscribed! I'm really looking forward to this review. We sail on the Pride next year!

BTW-- thanks for posting the drink menus complete with prices! Nice to know how much I should be budgeting for.

Thanks for the review. So excited to see Pride after 2.0. We are scheduled to sail her in August. It will be our first Carnival cruise and the first ever for our kids, so we are super excited. Keep the pics coming!

I am enjoying your review. I will be sailing her in 3 weeks. Fourth time on this ship but first time since the 2.0 and it being on the east coast.

...Captain Carnival's announcements were great...

Thanks so much - and thanks for posting your great review and pics from your Carnival Pride!!!

The Taste Bar is a cart or on some ships a counter where they serve a small taste of food from various restaurants, on this ship it was 4 nights, bonsai sushi, steakhouse, blue iguana and the italian restaurant. The samples are free. It is typically open 5:30-8:30 on the nights it is open.

These are the seats outside of Alchemy, it is a good area to read except 5-10 when Alchemy Bar opens and when people line up for the dining room fixed seating times.

Great. I have the Alchemy Bar menu coming up as well.

Thanks. I think for kids, Carnival is a really good line. Will they be riding the Green Thunder?

I really like the 2.0 upgrades, enjoy.

Yours were the first announcements I recall after the cruise. My favorite was when you asked everyone to keep boarding area clear and then "man in orange shirt who just took off his sunglasses this means you too". Often people think directions/rules are for other people, so I got a kick out of this.

I slept in, I found the bed and comforter to be very comfortable, plus the waves helped. We went to the SeaDay Brunch.

The breadbasket with danishes, croissants, muffins and pound cakes:

Huevos Rancheros, I like my eggs well done and on this cruise they were cooked the way I liked them each time.

We went to the Art Auction and bought some works. I know some people think they are a waste, but we enjoy them.

After the art auction it was almost 3. At this time Guys, the Deli, Pizza and Room Service are available. We went for Guys.

My husband had a piece of carrot cake from the coffee bar, it was huge, but amazingly enough I did not get a picture of it.

Really enjoying your Review..the Pride sure looks nice..I liked the "fancy traditional but Farcus" decor of Spirit..can tell I would like this too...I never felt too crowded..but preferred not eating in Lido..that was a madhouse on my Easter Spirit cruise..a ways back.

You really are doing a fun review..thanks for sharing all your treats and impressions and Bon Voyage on that Suite trip coming up!!

Looking forward to your Chef's Table review..a little sad the Piano bar was not up to par..have not had that either yet on my 2 cruises with Carnival..wish they would pay big attention there...Sarah

Thanks, I read as many reviews on the Pride that I could so I wanted to add another one for future Pride guests.

One thing I noticed in a lot of reviews was how dark the decor was. I disagree, there was a lot of renaissance art, but I felt that made it stand out from the Breeze and Sunshine. I have some pictures of that coming up.
