Pride 6/13/09 Review with photos

[cyntil8ing]

Back on board. The sun came back out for the final tender, but there were enough clouds left for a gorgeous sunset.

Love your review!

We had on and off rain showers. We were planning on a catamaran cruise (not an official Carnival excursion) but decided to skip it at the last minute because of the weather. So, we just walked around the little shopping they had at the port. We were off and back on board in less than two hours. It's not a very pretty port, but my son loved all of the boats and things to look at!

Great review, thanks, can't wait!

Our last full day. We went to the Camp Carnival talent show:

 

 

 

And then down to the Lobby bar. The kids loved their Shirley Temples! And the Martini of the Day (the Caribbeatini) was delicious!

We also went on the galley tour:

 

 

 

 

And enjoyed our final sunset:

 

 

 

Sigh. It was coming to an end.

Yesterday morning was rainy and dreary, just like our moods.

 

Back under the Bay Bridge:

 

 

 

 

And return to the Port of Baltimore:

 

 

 

Now it's time to start planning our next cruise!

I have read where there is a little area for coffee, cookies and shakes, but I do not know if it is a little cafe, or where it is located. or if there is a charge for these things. Does anyone have any information on this?

There is a counter with coffee drinks and sweet snacks. There is seating nearby in the Piazza. There is a charge. It is located on Deck 2 forward. We did not try it, but inhaled deeply every time we passed by!

Did you notice any problems (funny taste, discolored, odor) with the water on board?

[g4fam]

I am so jealous of your Half Moon Cay pics! When we went last year, it rained so many of my pics are from right before it downpoured and we have dark clouds behind the ship. Even so, we had a great time and I made hubby promise that we could come back since it rained on us :D

 

Anyway, thanks for posting, your pictures are gorgeous and so is your family! Sounds like you all had a great time!

Does anyone know if there are banana boat rentals or jet ski rentals at any of the ports (Grand Turk or HMC)?

[RAVI360]

awwwwwwwww great pictures and review i can never get enough of grand turk pictures

The water wasn't very tasty, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it tasted funny. No color. No odor. Just not .... good. We drank it.

Thanks for the pics. We leave on the Pride in September and I can't wait.

Thank you for posting so many amazing photos. If you have more please keep them coming! My husband and I are sailing the Pride in September, and now my excitement is through the roof!!! Can you tell me what type of ID you needed to board? I thought we needed passports, but my husband called and they said you could use a drivers license and a birth certificate with the raised seal. I'm afraid we're going to get to the boat and be turned away without a passport. Anyway, thanks again. Oh, and you have a beautiful family!
