Ms. T Posted July 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I watch the ticker count down daily to the day I step on the Carnival Pride. I thought it was enough to see the days drop off. Not so, I couldn't resist, I went down to the pier today and their she was the Carnival Pride. I was pumped! I saw the people disembarking from the Pride, scanned the beauty before me for my stateroom. As I drove off I whispered, "one day, one day soon I'll be on the Pride. Hope I can resist the temptation of going back down to gaze at the Pride :( Anyone go down to visit their cruise ship before cruising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacebeach Posted July 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I went to go see the Legend the other day at the Port of Tampa, but she wasn't there. I did stop to see her cruising under the massive Skyway Bridge the other day, and it was awesome! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Galveston for the weekend when the Ecstasy was leaving & went down to see it :D When we lived there we would always go watch her leave (the kids LOVED to wave to all the people on the "big boat") so it was nice to relive that from our time there & to get excited about our cruise that *was* only a month away! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live about 20 minutes away from Port of Tampa and work on the down town area. I visited the port and saw my cruise ship, the glorious Carnival Legend, like 4 times before I actually boarded her. It made the whole trip that much more exciting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlendaleCruiser Posted July 21, 2011 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm landlocked and have to fly to most cruises, so I check in on the webcams on a daily basis. Especially like the cruiseship cams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul929207 Posted July 24, 2011 #13 Share Posted July 24, 2011 We were on the Fantasy and docked next to the Pride in Grand Turk last Wednesday. She is a beautiful ship. Chloe was the hostess who ran most of the trivia games on our cruise. She left the Fantasy yesterday and got on the Pride today. Her fiance is on the Pride. If you see here tell her the Ingalls say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted July 25, 2011 #14 Share Posted July 25, 2011 If only I could!! I would definitely be doing that constantly. So...I have to settle for web cams on the ship, web cams at the ports of call, and the ship tracker. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickiefriend Posted July 25, 2011 #15 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm doing the same thing. I live out of state, but everyday, several times a day I pull up the port webcam and watch ships sail out. We are cruising the Ecstasy so it is still in galveston, so I have yet to see MY ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalinicole<3 Posted July 28, 2011 #16 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I've never saw a ship other then pictures... BUT I DREAM ABOUT THEM. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazilla1 Posted August 31, 2011 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Ms T! I am right there with you. In fact, we started thinking about cruising when we went to Port of Canaveral just to "look at the boats" and saw the Dream! We watched her pull out and that was all she wrote! :) We are not on the Dream for our initiation cruise - but ever since we saw that ship I, at least, have been hooked. This is an amaazing web site!

My husband works in the city of Long Beach and sees the cruise terminal every day.If there is a ship docked, he makes it a point to drive to where he gets a good view of the ship.

Tennis85 Posted August 31, 2011 #19 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Whew! Good to know I'm not the only one, ha. I haven't even chosen a ship yet, but I frequently watch the port cams of the tree I'm stuck between. And my boyfriend says I'm the only one…I bet I will catch him doing the same pretty soon!

lady_mac Posted September 2, 2011 #21 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I watch the ships as they sail under the Verrazano Bridge. Very beautiful sight whether you see it at the crack of dawn or in the evening. BTW, thanks for the webcam info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
