I did not "neglect" to say that... I had no idea that 2 people were left behind. I just stated the facts I knew. :confused:

I apologize.

However you neglected to say that two people from our ship were left behind and the misfortune of the person needing the hospital they were very lucky to be able to get back on the ship when we returned.

Just off Sunshine as well, not real impressed, they did a makeover -- (2.0 conversion) ... guess that was ok, but from I have read before sailing, it was revamped to hold more people ... not a good thing ... We was on the 8 day sailing, with 3 ports, 4 cruise days , only 2 small pools, 1 hot tub on serenity deck, the other 2 hot tubs continually filled with children, very small lounge for the comedy club, ( this is one of our favorite things on other ships) . This ship is not meant for this sailing with 4 seadays .. ( they didn't have seaday brunch on 1 day)... live and learn i guess.. a 7 day with 4 ports may do well on this ship .. ports were nice, and sun off the coast of Venezuela is real hot ..

Our take is it seemed way to crowded, we had our time dining with a check in at the Taste bar, ( they had you wait there if needed ) which is a good thing, instead of waiting out front by elevators, They should post the menu there, and then you can decide if it is there, or another restaurant ( Italian is the best ) ..

Buffet is way sub-par to any other carnival ship, deli is good as always, pizza was always burnt on bottom, table cloths only on formal nights, when they serve dessert, by then there is sweat rings from ice water, sodas, etc, then they put your silverware for dessert on a dirty table .. not a good thing..

Sunshine was our least favorite Carnival ship

Took the words out of my mouth, I feel they sacrificed public space to add more cabins. Also whatever you do DON"T book a cabin on deck 6 foward...you're above the Liquid lounge and turns into a nightclub that goes until anywhere from 1 am-4am. So unless you're a night owl or very heavy sleeper this is not the area for you. Offered an upgrade from deck 2 to this deck and didn't know about the night club thing. After 2 am I went down to guest services and asked about a possible move. They moved us back to our original cabin, I'm glad they were able to because I wouldn't have been able to handle that for the next 8 days.

Following along. We are on the Victory next year out of Miami, but soaking in any info about her that I can until then!

Watch out for the sea horses they bite....they are at the end of the banisters on the stair cases and if you run into them it hurts.

Hey, you actually had a flat screen TV! We had the old tube thing last month. Maybe they will get around to replacing them in all the cabins.

I know the tvs on deck one were still the old ones.

Loved the waiter who was dancing when the lady when and put a dollar bill in his waistband.

We were on this ship and had a great time, but then again the Victory is one of my favorite ships.

This will be our first time on the Pride and first time out of a port other than Florida.

True... I am booked on both the Sept 2016 and the Oct 2017 Pride to Bermuda and was given the same advice when asking the same question. "It depends...".

 

 

So I'm not the only one who booked the Pride to Bermuda in October 17. I booked a balcony on deck 6 on port.

My in laws were on this trip...helpful also is if you book an inside cabin don't book in very front on Empress deck. The crew lounge/bar is up there and you'll get the smoke from there filtering into you cabin. Wish I could take the repositioning cruise next month. We sailed on this one her first trip out of Jax and would be neat to sail out of Jax on her last one.

See they dropped the ropes and starting to move away from the dock. HAVE FUN GUYS! The wings are my favorite spot on the ship also (the spot just outside the lido deck in the aft.)

We're on board. Captain has let us know mechanics are working on the boiler. No hot water. Should leave by 9 pm. Still having a good time! :)

Thank you for the update. Tried to call the in laws must have shut their cell phones off.

Hi, cruise_mojo! Welcome back from your cruise! I posted the pictures in your roll call.

 

Do you know why the ship is so late today? It still has not left port...

Just talked to my inlaws on the ship and they said something mechanical but didn't know what. I'd like to know also.

How long does it take to drive from NE Florida, Jacksonville to be exact to Baltimore and can you recommend a good hotel for the night near port?

Is there even another port a long the coast that could accommodate a ship as big as anthem if it needed to? Assuming charleston probably isn't. Is Norfolk since there is a Naval Base there?

Depending on how far south I wonder if Mayport couldn't get them into a port to check out the ship.

Waiting for our niece's passport to come in what is the latest you can do online check in? We have all the information except for the passport information

My favorite place on the ship is on Lido deck, go all the way back and go through the sliding doors and there is a place to sit, it over looks the serenity deck below.

What is a Carnival travel organizer? Please elaborate. I looked for it on the Bon Voyage Dept. web site but didn't see it.

It was one of the platinum gift they were giving out last year. We each have our own toiletry bag already so we use ours as a first aid/medicine bag.

Vista never going to JAX

He didn't say anything about the ship coming to Jax just that he'll be here to make an announcement about the Vista.

He posted on his fb page this morning that he'll be in Jax on Thursday to make the announcement.

I just called hubby and told him I booked our Bermuda trip on the Pride for October 2017.

I have never left the hotel room without checking the weather outside especially the temperature, to see if I need shorts or warmer clothes to get to the ship. If it said 50 degrees I would be dressed accordingly.

 

He stated he stayed overnight so why wouldn't you check the weather before heading out?

Fantasy class I enjoy sitting on the back deck of lido (the wings I call them), I enjoy the back pool on Lido deck when it comes to the Victory and the Liberty.

You're looking in the right place. Maybe it's not rolling out until March 1st? Have you made your final payment? Maybe you can only select once you've paid? I checked and the FAQ doesn't mention when you're able to select your window (immediately after booking, 3 months before, after final payment, etc)

Still months before our final payment and I selected ours just a few minutes ago.

I have not received an email yet. I went to my online account, under manage and it has a tab for my check in time. I was able to choose anytime between 10-3. We don't sail until May 26.

Same here and we sail in October.
