February 2018 - 7 Night Bahamas (Baltimore Roundtrip) Cruise on Carnival Pride
This ship is the perfect size and has the perfect amount of passengers and crew. Whereas on larger Carnival ships like the Dream class where the crew always seems rushed and stressed, the crew really seem to enjoy serving you on the Pride. In 7 sailings on her we have only encountered one negative crew experience, and even that was petty and easy to look past.
The ship was built in 2001 so it does show its age some. If you’ve been on newer ships you’ll probably pick up on a few rusted metal areas on deck 3 or maybe some loose tile in Mermaids grille, but she really is maintained well and is the perfect way to vacation.
I highly recommend the Carnival Pride. I did not enjoy her until she received the 2.0 upgrades, but now she can hang with her big sisters in the fleet.
I only give it 4 starts instead of 5 for lack of water slides. The green thunder is okay, but the yellow slide is extremely slow and boring even for our 10 year old son. I’d like to see a new slide replace it.

Cruise tips
Reviewing the cruise terminal not the city: we love sailing from Baltimore! It is right off of interstate 95 and very easy to get to. DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE YOUR SCHEDULED ARRIVAL TIME! They will send you right back onto the interstate. Parking is easy, and the porters are lined up as you drive in and ready to unload your luggage. There is a line for cash and a line for card when it’s time to pay. The cash line moves much faster.
