Pride in Baltimore

[NJEMT29]

Has there been any updates with Carnival PRIDE leaving out of Port of

 Baltimore we are sailing on May 5

Still out of Norfolk for now. Plan to cruise out of Norfolk is my advice. When it moves back to Baltimore it will be national news because it means the Baltimore harbor is reopened, you won't miss it.

Does anyone know what time the shuttle buses leave from Baltimore to Norfolk?

Here is the email CCL issued.  Keep in mind this info may change.  

 

April 23, 2024    Dear Carnival Pride Guest,   Thank you for your patience as we worked through the plans regarding your upcoming cruise. We continue to stay in close contact with the U.S. Coast Guard, state of Maryland and Port of Baltimore officials regarding plans to resume maritime operations in Baltimore Harbor and appreciate your patience. We have been advised that we will not be able to operate your cruise from Baltimore. Therefore, we have made arrangements to sail from and return to Norfolk, Virginia. As you know, this situation remains beyond our control. As a token of our appreciation for your understanding, we will be posting a US$100, per stateroom, onboard credit to your Sail & Sign® account.   Below are the details of our revised embarkation plans. The address for Norfolk’s cruise terminal is: Decker Half Moone Cruise Center  One Waterside Drive,  Norfolk, Virginia 23510 Directions and parking information can be found here.  We are making arrangements for buses to take guests who need assistance with transportation from Baltimore to Norfolk, but prompt action to pre-register is required. Shuttle service will begin at 8:30 AM and the final bus will depart at 10:30 AM. We estimate that the ride will be approximately five hours and we will provide water and a light snack. Availability is limited to those who sign up ahead of time and you must register to secure your spot. If you need the service, please complete the registration here by 12:00 noon (ET), April 25. In the meantime, please sign up for text alerts by texting CCL1 to CRUISE (278473).   Transportation service will also be offered back to Baltimore at the conclusion of the cruise. Terminal arrival appointments will remain as planned, but we will extend overall embarkation timeframe to give everyone enough time to make it to Norfolk. In preparation for departure, all guests must be on board by 4:00 PM (ET). We know this is an unexpected change of plans and we appreciate your understanding. The entire Carnival Pride team is looking forward to welcoming you aboard for a fun and memorable cruise.

Sincerely,

[sgttami]

You have to call to reserve a seat/seats on the bus.  I don't know what time they start departing but have seen posts on FB that some people were in Norfolk before 11AM..
