35th Birthday Cruise to Bermuda on Carnival Pride.

Hey, Everyone

Just returned from Carnival Pride's last Bermuda sailing of 2016 last Sunday. Overall, I had a great time. I really like the ship and Bermuda was awesome.

This review may be delivered in chunks as I have to get ready to sail Vista in the coming weeks. I have no set idea when I will provide updates so bear with me. :cool:

Highlights:

-First time on a Spirit Class ship and first time out of Baltimore

-4K cabin

-Birthday swag

-Tropical Storm Karl

-Familiar faces

-The always changing weather of Bermuda

-Decks showing age

-Dolphins

Here are some photos to carry you over in the meantime. Click on the hyperlinks for now :).

Your pictures are wonderfu! I'm looking forward to your review, whenever you get to it! Bermuda is on my to-do list. We sailed on the Miracle this summer, and I thought it was a great size and layout. Can't wait to hear your impressions of the Pride.

Can't wait to read your review on my favorite ship!!! :D

Anxious to read your review. We're doing this same cruise next July and staying in a 4K as well.

I was on the same inteniary Sept. 4th, looking forward to the review. Did you dock in Bermuda a day early due to the storm?

I was on the same sailing. You look familiar. :D

I'm doing the Pride Bermuda next year, 9/17/17. Not many reviews on this trip so I'm anxious to hear what you thought about Bermuda !!!!!

Did your cruise leave Bermuda earlier than scheduled? We were next to you on the Norwegian Breakaway and we were expecting that you would leave on Friday. We left three hours early on Friday but had really stormy weather the rest of that day.

Patiently waiting for more

We did leave on Thursday rather than Friday but we also arrived early on Tuesday rather than Wednesday.

Good evening, everyone!

Here is part 1. Please don't mind spelling or grammar because I'm trying to crank it out before my next trip. :cool:

Thanks for the report.

Nice report, and photos too. Following your review.

There was a minute when I had wished that I was on that sailing instead, but it all worked out great.

Yes. We switched a couple sea days and got into Bermuda early and I'm glad we did. NCL Breakaway had to leave 3 hours early on Friday.

Cool! Whats up!

I'm bad with usernames (and honestly, names in general), where did we cross paths?

Yes. As said above, we switched sea days and ultimately wound up spending a good amount of time there. More on that later :cool:.

Thanks for doing a review! I love Pride, and Bermuda is pretty awesome. I'll be tuned in to your review, they are always great!

I'm enjoying your report! We set sail tomorrow on Sunshine to Bermuda and it's reassuring to know that your itinerary was adjusted accordingly for the storm.

Was on the same cruise too and looking forward to the review.

We were glad they amended our cruise, as we were travelling with my mother who was nervous about the hurricane and weather. We lucked out and were able to change our Thurs tour to Tuesday with Collin, so had 2 full days left to do what we wanted. Granted Wednesday was a little wet :cool:

In the end we had fabulous sailing weather back to Baltimore and the Atlantic was smooth as glass!

That first sea day back to Baltimore sure was smooth! I actually liked the adjusted schedule better!

I got DRENCHED on Wednesday. More on that later!
