Pride out of Tampa in 2021

[cellfree]

Does anyone think we will be cruising out of Tampa on the Pride this year? We have November 28 booked and as of now it is not cancelled. Got a great rate along with Cheers. A little afraid to get too excited about it though. I have always felt anticipation is half the fun, but thinking a cancellation might be around the corner.

100% absolutely in the stars for this year.  I will accept no other answers.  I look forward to December 5th sailaway.

I REALLY hope you are able to get on the Pride November 28. We are supposed to board the Pride Oct. 31 in Baltimore for a 14 day cruise ending in Tampa Nov. 14. Because of the 14 day aspect, we will travel with 100% vaccinated, rather than 95% and we have to show a negative covid test taken within 72 hours in order to board!

We sail 11/21/21 on the Pride out of Tampa.  I really hope we sail.  We have airline tickets,  hotel reservations,  time off work,  etc 😀 

 

I am ready. Who has been on the Pride? What is your favorite part?

We've been on the Pride 5 times. Our favorite part is the singing Maitre D, Ken Byrnes but I'm not sure how long he'll stay once the Pride reaches Tampa. Here is a link to an "album" of our 2019 cruise, just click on any picture to make it larger and you'll see parts of the ship. Enjoy your cruise!

7X on Pride since 2018.  Love the smaller ships.  Easy to get around.  Great crew.  Ken Byrne was a highlight in the MDR.  David's was great.  Pride was the one ship where I met the same passengers over and over again due to the good casino offers. One lady I met sailed twice a month since she lived 10 minutes from the port.

 

I will miss her going to Tampa but looking forward to Legend.

Intercruises, the ground crews at the Port of Tampa, said last month they were going to start up at the Port of Tampa in August or September 2021. DH worked part-time for Intercruises until the 2020 cruise pause and he received an email last month asking if he wanted to return to work. He declined since we have 8 cruises booked from now until Dec. 2022.

We are on the10/31/21.  Her last sailing out of Baltimore. While it is hard to say goodbye to the Pride,  I know you will enjoy her just as much as we did.  So get excited!! She is coming your way.

My favorite part is the serenity area and the size of the ship.

We are on the first cruise 11/14 and pretty sure it will go.  The Pride has several Baltimore cruises going before the repo cruise that have not been canceled as of yet.

John said early next week there would be announcements to October/ November start ups and itineraries.  
 Since the Caymans are closed I’m assuming a new port will be added or just another sea day.

Hopefully we will know concrete information next week or as much as possible in this day and age

I live across from the Tampa Port and cannot wait to see the ships return.  We are heading out on Pride for 11/21 sailing!

Thank you for sharing your album.  We are staying in a cabin close to that one 5205. 

I will enjoy looking at the Ship through your eyes.

I am excited and anxious to know where we will go since Cayman is closed.

See you there

We have 3 Pride cruises booked, but not until Jan., Nov/Dec. B2B. Have sailed on her several times and like the ship a lot. We live about 40 minutes from the Port of Tampa and enjoy that convenience. Just wish it had the Cuchina del Capitano specialty restaurant - got hooked on it on our Magic cruise on Aug. 12th. Ate dinner there twice and loved it. We don't do the Steakhouse anymore, but instead order the Steakhouse selections in the MDR.

Appreciate all these positive responses, I am now more encouraged about Port of Tampa opening up for ships.
