Wrigley80's Carnival Pride Photo Review with my Dad.....and my Mom too

[wrigley80]

[quote name='kybluecruiser']I was 26-31 lol. Went to progresso and cozumel.[/QUOTE]


I checked my sail and sign card from our cruise on the Elation this morning and we cruised on March 26th. Haha. We probably met a long, long time ago.....lol

[wrigley80]

[quote name='windsbud']When I took my class it was with my DSLR and we learned about aperture, shutter speed, and proper exposure. Those are already set in the different scene settings on your point and shoot so yeah, a class that works with P&S cameras will teach you about the proper settings for each situation. Most consumer grade DSLR's(as opposed to a professional one)have scene settings also so if you decide to make the jump and until you get the knack of it you can still use those settings and also auto settings.

Like I said, I think you already have an "eye" for it. Have fun with it![/QUOTE]


Thank You. I enjoy just having my small Panasonic Point and Shoot camera in my pocket so that it's there whenever I want to take a picture.
If any classes come up in our area I will definitely check one out.

Thanks Again for the advice

[wrigley80]

[quote name='dixieva']Thanks for doing this review! It's great.

Can you tell me what time you actually boarded the ship to begin your cruise?[/QUOTE]


Thank You for following my review.

Even though we were at the port and checked in by 10:15 am. We didn't board the ship until after 12:00 pm. We are Platinum and we had priority boarding. We sat and waited in the terminal until then

Thank You. Your cruise on the Pride will be here before ya know it :)

[wrigley80]

OK back to the review. We had to wait until around 12:00 pm in the terminal before we could board the Carnival Pride. Once they called for Platinum guests we were ready to board

We are almost onboard

All of the supplies for the week are waiting to come onboard

We made it onboard

After we had our first lunch onboard we made our way outside into the Serenity area

The Serenity area on the Spirit class ships has a nice layout at the back of the ship on Deck 9. There is seating in the sun and under the canopy plus a nice feature is that there is a pool in the Serenity area

After exploring the Serenity area we decided to head back inside. This is Florentine Lounge on deck 3

The atrium is in the mid-ship area of the ship and not forward.

One of our favorite places to relax onboard was in the Atrium. It was a very pretty atrium area

Every time I walked by the slot machines it was like they were mocking me :p

My favorite bar onboard was the Perfect Game Sports Bar....it was on Deck 3 forward by the Coffee shop

[IMG]http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u372/wrigley80/Carnival%20Pride%20-%20July%202014/CruiseontheCarnivalPride-July272014066_zps0f351b88.jpg[/IMG]
Every day at 5:00 pm they had Sports Trivia in the Sports Trivia...we went everyday. I will let ya know a little later on in the review if we ever won or not

This is the Starry Nights Lounge....it's right next to the Sports Bar. Every night they would have live music in the Starry Nights Lounge :p


[IMG]http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u372/wrigley80/Carnival%20Pride%20-%20July%202014/CruiseontheCarnivalPride-July272014074_zps0aac1872.jpg[/IMG]
Josh (the cruise director) told us that when the Pride gets the 2.0 upgrades....the Starry Nights Lounge will become the Red Frog Pub :)

[wrigley80]

Next up is everyone's Favorite activity of the Cruise.....the MUSTER DRILL :rolleyes:

[IMG]http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u372/wrigley80/Carnival%20Pride%20-%20July%202014/CruiseontheCarnivalPride-July272014075_zps1d38e861.jpg[/IMG]
My dad goes to the Muster Drill inside because of his vision disability. The Muster Drill for other guests took place outside on the promenade deck. For anyone with a disability the Muster Drill for zone B took place in the Enchanted Garden area

[IMG]http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u372/wrigley80/Carnival%20Pride%20-%20July%202014/CruiseontheCarnivalPride-July272014078_zps54a979c3.jpg[/IMG]
The Muster Drill lasted about 15 minutes

The Muster Drill was over which meant that the FUN was about to begin

Freighter docked right next to us

[NoDayButToday]

This is my first time catching one of your reviews, but definitely keeping an eye on it and loving it so far! We will be taking our honeymoon on the Pride in February and these are some of the best pictures of inside the ship I've seen so far!

Also, thank you for the confirmation that muster drill is on Promenade deck. I'm not so great on stairs and knowing where it will be held in relation to our stateroom is very helpful.

[wrigley80]

After the Muster Drill we decided to head up to the Serenity area to watch us Sail away from the Port of Baltimore

Serenity was a nice place to watch sail away because no one was out here

Pride is a very beautiful ship! Carnival should pay you commission for showing such great photos of their ships! And you and your Mom look so much alike. Thanks again for the great review.:)

[ReneeFLL]

Great review.

[quote name='wrigley80']I checked my sail and sign card from our cruise on the Elation this morning and we cruised on March 26th. Haha. We probably met a long, long time ago.....lol[/QUOTE]

How awesome is that lol.... I am going to check what few pics i have to locate you. Lol

You're welcome. The muster drill location is according to your zone on your sail and sign card. But everyone was outside on Promenade Deck. If you can't stand that long then just go to areas reserved for the disabled.

I have a lot more pics coming up from the ship. Enjoy your cruise in February and congrats on the honeymoon

That is awesome. I looked at my card this morning and just started laughing. I'm sure we ran into one another at some point.
