These are the seats outside of Alchemy, it is a good area to read except 5-10 when Alchemy Bar opens and when people line up for the dining room fixed seating times.

 

Thanks. Sounds like it will fit into my schedule.

Thank you for the great pictures. We sail on the Pride in 68 days for the 4th time but first time with 2.0. Can't wait after this cold cold winter.

 

Enjoy. Even in Florida we have had colder than normal temperatures. I think almost everyone is ready for this winter to be over.

They served both red and white wine and refilled them throughout the dinner. The chef presented each dish and what was in each one. There were 3 servers for 14 people.

 

Warm bread baked with Blue Cheese, butter and roasted tomatoes and garlic.

Wow, awesome! I wish DH liked sushi, because I really want to try that Ship for 2! Do you know if you can get the sushi to go, or do you have to eat in?

... Waiting for the Chefs Table review and pictures! :)

 

Enjoying your review and great pictures! Looking forward to Chef's Table too as I booked it for our next cruise. Thanks a bunch

:D

What is this area, please? I always look for quiet spot to read.

 

If you are looking for a quiet spot to read on any Spirit Class ship there is an area forward on deck 3 that wraps around the Main Show area. On the Pride it's called - Sunset Garden Interior Promenade. You'll love it - it's quiet because no one knows it's there ;). Tables, chairs, sofa or 2 all by the windows.

We're sailing on the Pride out of Baltimore in June. Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Freeport are our ports. I've been to Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay (I've reserved a cabana!) but this will be our first time to Freeport. Carnival is not giving us much time - 7am - 1:30pm.

 

Thanks the review - especially the menus and the food!

[Fighterone]

Do you recall the 2 brand names of the wines served? Thanks again

Thank you for your response. I had earlier made a note of the Sunset Garden, but this seemed different, so I wanted to see what this was. The Sunset Garden apparently has portholes, and this has large windows. Seems like there will be plenty of places to park myself and read.

 

Again, thanks. Happy sails.:)

No, I did not keep it. Could Carnival provide it? Did you get the 25% off a future cruise credit, could you use that? I did not get a letter regarding the 25% and intend to contact Carnival if it does not show under my VIFP offers shortly.

 

 

I've got a request into Carnival and I'm sure they will get me something. I did keep the Costa Maya letter that has the instructions for the 25% off. If you send me an email address I will scan and send you a copy. It is not a customer specific letter, so the letter works for anyone on the cruise.

Thanks. Have a great time.

I have only had it in the restaurant, but in the MDR I saw people taking dessert to go, so I would think you could do that with the sushi.

 

I still keep trying to get DH to try sushi and push the shrimp tempura as it is cooked, still won't try it.

Enjoy it. The whole evening is a unique experience.

Have fun. We have not been to HMC, but we got a cabana at Grand Turk and thought it really enhanced the experience. We went to a resort in Freeport last year, they had underwater grottos and a swim up bar. We booked through Carnival.

[alrichards4003]

No, I did not pay attention. The white wine was a pinot grigio, I don't even know what kind the red was.

Do you remember the name of the place in Freeport with the underwater grottos and swim up bar?

[alrichards4003]

The last course was the crab tower. Next is the duck.

With the sauce added.

After the duck, the magician performed, he was very good and it was a nice break from all the food.

 

Next is the tomato bisque. Beginning with the whipped cream in the center.

Then they added the yellow and red tomato soup on each side of the cream.

I believe it is Taino beach and resort.

[alrichards4003]

Next is the sea bass. Notice the miniature macaroon

Dessert

I thought I would be miserable at this point, but I was fine, until we left and I got up to move at this point I realized how much I ate. Time for bed and the next towel animal.

The breadbasket with danishes, croissants, muffins and pound cakes:

 

 

Huevos Rancheros, I like my eggs well done and on this cruise they were cooked the way I liked them each time.

 

 

 

Wait, what is this? I haven't heard of the brunch. When and where is it served? Everything looked WONDERFUL...and cheesecake? WOW I don't want to miss this.

 

 

 

BTW we will be on the Pride in 38 days, 14 hours, 1 min and 21 seconds, but who's counting. (We will be doing Baltimore to Caribbean).

 

So following this thread with a lot of interest. :D
