Our Carnival Pride Spring Break cruise - 4/5/15 (with pics)

[Spudder]

Thank you!!!! We are going to have to try the Pride after seeing your review...

[Jamman54]

Thank you so much for the nice review, we're only 27 days away from being on her. Question, with the zone one luggage tags and going to the EA sports bar, was FFTF included in that too, or was it just diamonds and plats? Do you recall?

 

Thanks for reading! I'm pretty sure it was only Diamonds and Platinum. The FTTF people met in another location.

 

Great review!!!

 

Thanks so much!

Thank you!!!! We are going to have to try the Pride after seeing your review...

 

Thank You!! I think you would enjoy her.

[Jamman54]

Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!! Excellent Review and we were excited to see such great pics! Hoping to be on her next year! Can't wait for your next adventure.

 

Also, you and your family have been in our prayers the last couple of days since I read more about your son's accident last year in another review of yours.

 

Thank you again for taking the time to do this review!

 

Thank you so much for reading, your kind words, and your prayers. They are much appreciated.

[Jamman54]

Thank you so much for this detailed review! Now I really can't wait until our Pride cruise in July :)

 

Thanks for following along, and I hope I was able to help you in some way.

 

You will have an awesome time!!

Oh Yea!! Taking my son out for his first Senor Frog's experience was priceless!! :D

 

It's wonderful to see a parent who teaches his son to drink responsibly. Liquor THEN beer...in the clear.

 

It saddens me when I see kids drinking beer then liquor which results in never sicker.

 

Seriously though, what a fun memory you've given your son. :D

Ryan joins the conga line for some free shots…..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To be continued…..

 

OH yeah....way to go Ryan. He looks like he fit in at Senor Frogs just fine. Gotta love the Free Shot Conga Line

[wrigley80]

Thanks Kim!! Don't know what Ryan liked more. Winning the money, or partying at Senor Frog's !! :D

 

Looking forward to your "Magical" review!! :)

 

From the looks on his face....I would say partying it up at Senor Frogs was the highlight for him. It looked like he had a great time and I can't say that I blame him :p I have had that same look at Senor Frogs

Great review!!!

Thanks for another great review. We love being able to drive to The Pride and agree 100% about doing away with the Port Canaveral itinerary. Last time we got on in Balt and didn't get off until Balt.

 

Thanks also for Ken's email. He answered within minutes and took care of us for our upcoming cruise. It will be our first non-Premier cruise in years. Glad to hear the casino hosts were nice.

 

Last time we were due to go to HMC it was hit by a hurricane. Can't wait to get there this time.

 

Thanks again for making our anticipation even greater. Take care.

I have been following along with your review since the beginning and just finished up with the last section. Always sad to see a cruise ending on a review since reading good reviews are like being on the cruise. :) I can't believe how much Ryan won in the casino and his first time!!! I've given up since I usually end up donating and tired of those casinos getting $$$ that I could use toward DOD's. :D Congrats to Ryan on the wins! I loved the part where you took Ryan to Senor Frogs. My DH will always remember the year he was with his family in Hawaii when he was 18, which was the legal drinking age in HI at the time, and his dad took him to a bar for "adult" drinks for the first time. His mother wasn't too happy about that, I'm sure. :D Normally if I ask him something about his childhood his response usually is "that was a long time ago, I don't remember" but that moment with his dad having his first "legal" drink is something he does remember and always will. He couldn't remember how old he was though, thought he was 16. His family confirmed he was 18.

 

I enjoyed all of your review and really need to consider taking a cruise on Pride since Baltimore is usually only about an hour and a half to two hours from us. I agree, I prefer the GT, HMC, Freeport itinerary instead of the other. Just can't believe, but do understand why, Freeport is such a short port day.

 

Thank you for taking the time to do this review. I've enjoyed this one as I do your previous reviews and always look forward to the next one.

Jeff, what can I say, you are so good at reviews. You and a few others on here make the rest of us seem as if we're right there with you. I love your pictures. Ryan looks like he had a blast at Senor Frogs!! Keep doing what you're doing and I'll keep reading along. I'll be waiting for your next review in a couple of months. Be Blessed!!

[RenoNanaOz]

Those are awesome photos, and precious moments between you and your Son. Thank you for sharing them with us. He looks like he really enjoyed himself ;)

Jamman54--- I know you were in cabana 9 at the pool in Grand Turk....is that close to the rest rooms? I am traveling on the Pride 5/24 and I will be with my mother who has a hard time walking long distances. We rented a cabana and I want to pick something close.. to the restrooms. Love the review. I am reading mitsygirl for 2nd time then I will reread this one as well! :):):)

The lower numbers are closer to the restrooms. Go for #'s 1 to 3.

 

Thanks for reading our reviews. I think Mitsugirly and I covered just about everything. :)

Glad I was able to help. You know from your many cruises on the Pride that she is a great ship. She's even better now!!

Thanks. I think so too...and I feel like my cruise already started by reading the reviews! Hope to cruise with you and your family some day:):)

Thanks for coming along with us yet again!! We thought that Ryan might be a little bored because he's in that in between age. Boy were we wrong!! :D

I would highly recommend the Pride to everyone, but try to avoid that "other" itinerary.
