How far in advance do you book Herod? We don't cruise until August, and I would like to get everything booked now ... but worry that it is too early. Jan

you can do it as far out as you want. his tours require a min of 10 people to go. last time we went he had 2 van loads full. we are going on his tour again in may

Just got off the Pride this morning...now sitting in the BWI airport...waiting for flight home. We got an extra hour in Half Moon Cay...and yeah...we missed Freeport...but the OBC and 25 percent off a future cruise was more than fair...the crew was fab...and we had a great week. It beat a cold week at home in Kentucky. We used the OBC to go to the steakhouse :). I would do the Grand Turk/ Half Moon Cay itinerary again. Of all our Carnival cruises...this crew on the Pride has to be the friendliest.

we were on the same cruise and agree 100%

Welcome to our cruise review. This was my 8th Carnival cruise and my first during the Spring Break season. It was also the first cruise for my girlfriend, who can only cruise during school breaks as she is a school teacher.

 

We chose this particular cruise because of the close proximity of the Port of Baltimore (a 7-hour drive for us) and the ease of getting in and out of Baltimore vs. trying to park in New York. We had originally planned on cruising out of Florida, but with it being Spring Break season in Ohio, airfare was in excess of $500 per person to all of the ports in Florida, as well as to Texas or New Orleans. By process of elimination, we chose the Carnival Pride 7-night sailing to Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport.

 

Before I go any further, I will address the title of this thread. Yes, the Carnival Pride did experience a "complete power and propulsion failure" early in the morning of Monday, March 24 while sailing South off the East Coast of the United States. The ship lost all power, including lighting, elevators, toilets, and propulsion for approximately two hours between 9:00am and 11:00am ships time. I will go into more detail later, but the Captain and Cruise Director did a great job of keeping us updated on the situation, with announcements every 10-15 minutes. By 11:00am, some ships systems were restored, starting with elevators and toilets, and then lighting and propulsion.

 

It is important to note that since the Carnival Triumph incident in February 2013, the Carnival Pride, and I believe all Carnival ships have been equipped with emergency backup generators that can power major hotel systems (toilets, elevators, etc.), as well as reduced speed propulsion to get the ship back to port in the event that the ship loses all main power. The Pride does indeed have one of these generators and while it was available and working (they conducted their normal weekly test of the emergency generator system on Wednesday when we arrived in Port Canaveral), they were able to get the main generators running again before it became necessary to use the emergency generator. It was just nice to know that it was available if we needed it.

 

Here is a picture of the emergency generator installed on the Pride. Newer ships, including the Carnival Breeze, have a secondary generator room installed below decks with fully redundant power systems, but all of the older ships in Carnival's fleet have received these deck-mounted emergency generators until they can have a more permanent system installed.

 

 

I have over 400 photos to sort through and plenty of notes from our trip, and look forward to sharing our full review of the trip over the next few days.

we were on the cruise after this one

i agree. we did the same cruise a few years back.

you would not even notice a bare breast if they HAD NOT scratched out the nipples. yes david is out in all his glory but guess what .you know it is up in the steakhouse dont have your kids up there.

Is this $49.95 per person or per cabin? I'm trying to book it right now for my March Triumph cruise and it says "add guest" and looks like it charges per person. First time using this and I don't want to mess up.

Thanks in advance!!
