"LIVE" from Carnival Pride - January 26, 2014

Hello everyone ! I am very happy that tomorrow morning I will be on my first Cruise for 2014. Yes, I will be posting “LIVE” from Carnival Pride.

It has been awhile since I was on Carnival Pride, but I have toured her several times over the last several years and I have noticed a few changes

from 2009 since I last sailed her. That “LIVE” post can be viewed HERE.

Again, I will be aboard Pride for 7 Nights as we sail to the Bahamas (Port Canaveral, Nassau, and Freeport)

My “LIVE” post will include daily commentary of my views while onboard. I will try to have photos posted daily of various ship views, public areas, and cabins.

I really miss the Carnival Pride Winners Club Casino . . . I remember it as being very Radio “friendly”. Of course my posting will be dependent on my ability to

maintain a valid wireless connection. I remember the Pride to have a fast connection, and I should be able to post from my cabin as well as most public areas.

There has been a lot of discussion about Carnival Cruise Lines leaving Baltimore (Oct 2014), but it will only be for a short time. I was told that Carnival will be

back at Cruise Maryland in April 2015. . ..Yes that means Baltimore will only have about 5 months without a CCL vessel. I am not aware of what the ship will be,

but I will try to find out if I can.

The forecast for tomorrow is quite cold (28F) and sunny. We should have a nice but very cold Sailaway, but I may not stay out on the decks for long.

I don’t think that there will be too many swimmers until at least Tuesday. We will be at sea for Monday and Tuesday as we are scheduled to arrive in

Port Canaveral on Wednesday morning. The cold front may have a negative effect on the temperatures in Florida this week, but no worries . . . I will be on a Cruise !

Sit back and relax (with a coffee), and join me for a week in the Bahamas. . .

Thanks for tuning in.

It will be nice to have a couple of days at seas before Florida

Love the Pride. Will be looking forward to your review.

Hopefully the weather will cooperate when in Florida, but, hey, you're on a cruise.

Enjoy.

Subscribing. Love to follow your Live posts. Have followed you when you were on Grandeur. Looking forward to hear all about the Pride as I will be sailing on her June 29. Anything special about her would be appreciated, being that it has been about five years or so since I was on her. Have a great cruise in the nice WARMER weather.

Looking forward to sailing along. I have a soft spot for the Carnival Pride! :D

I will be on board with you :-)

Checking in for subscription! A welcome distraction from this awful cold weather!

See you there! Can't wait.

We'll be on the Pride in two weeks from tomorrow. Can't wait to read your reviews!

Subscribed, can't wait for more.

Radio-have a wonderful cruise on the Pride. We have cruised on her twice and love the ship and crew.

If you get a chance check out the comedy club one night. We always enjoy that.

Hope the casino is "Radio friendly". It was pretty good to us in Nov.

Have a great cruise! We are on the pride for March break ! Can't wait as we sailed her a few years back.

Me too! Brrrrr in Canada! :cool:

I'm up for some good reading!! We will be sailing in May!

Can you give us info like the category you are sailing in? Thanks, have a GREAT time and happy sailing!!

Just what the doctor ordered for a very cold winters night, A Radio review!!

Been waiting all day for you to start your live review. So excited. Have a great time.

Mark,

Have a great cruise. I will be enjoying it vicariously. As you may have heard, I had to cancel my EX cruise this week due to a bad fall so I'll have to be happy with armchair cruising. This week was totally jinxed - it turns out I'm missing a major norovirus cruise experience. Some of my friends have been sick, the weather down sucked, no ship activities, and Labadee was skipped.

May your experience be wonderful!

I am happily listening to the Radio, again!

Michael

Can't wait to see your posts. We cruised on her in 2012 and loved her. Have a great vacation!

So nice to see you back on the high seas! I'll be following . . . and yes, with my cup o'joe, too!

Thanks to MedicKen for posting a reminder over on the RCI boards.:D

Carol, take it easy and just rest. My Cruise wont be as adventurous, but it should be very cold (with a lot of coffee) ;)
