Rare Radio Posted February 2, 2014 Author #276 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone. . . We are back. . . I arrived at the Pier by about 9:45 this morning. The weather is sunny, and cold (34F), but it will warm up to about 51F by sail away. My brother and his wife are sailing today, and have been following my post this week. I guess it will be time to pack for me as I will have to be off of the ship by noon(ish). I have many more pics to post, and many documents to scan and post. I will probably watch a little news, but should have many more pics and scans done tomorrow. As Carnival Pride came up the Chesapeake Bay, it was unusual to see so much ice on the surface. The closer we got to Cruise Maryland, the more ice was noticed. . . I felt like I was on a cruise in Alaska. . . Thanks to everyone for their nice comments. . . .I will re read the whole thread when I get home, and try to answer any questions that I may have missed. Thanks again to everyone, and thanks for tuning in. . . Radio There is a lot of ice in the Bay on this sunny day. Is this Alaska? I thought it was the Chesapeake Bay Carnival Pride passes under the twin spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge(s) We make it under the Key Bridge Carnival Pride approaches the pier slowly We have arrived. . .Welcome to Cruise Maryland .

Dave85 Posted February 2, 2014 #277 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks for another great live review Radio, it's always a pleasure to read. Have a safe trip home and I'm looking forward to the next one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMedik Posted February 2, 2014 #278 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Great review Radio! I enjoyed reading it every day and made me look even more forward to our cruise on her this April. I admire your dedication to the 'live' aspect; I know how time consuming posts can be from on board....:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Envy Posted February 2, 2014 #279 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thank you for sharing! Question from a Pride newbie... does the Serenity deck encompass all of the Lido Aft area where the Poseidon Aft Pool is? Trying to get a picture in my head...

kangaand2roos Posted February 2, 2014 #280 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks for a great review! I was kind of bummed that we would be going under the bridges in the dark next Sunday night. Duh! I forgot that we would be returning in daylight! I would dearly love to see Fun Times if you get the chance to post them. We would like to spend one of our port days on the ship and we haven't decided between Nassau and Freeport. Having an idea what goes on onboard those days would help make the decision!

cmitch9999 Posted February 2, 2014 #281 Share Posted February 2, 2014 we took a day trip across the bay bridge to Kent Island yesterday and marveled at the ice on the bay. we wondered how the Pride would do heading back to port. Thanks for the great photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenity is the full aft Lido deck. The doors from the buffet area will say "Serenity - 21 and older" or something to that effect. There's also a bar area and some dining tables.

Ocean Dancer Posted February 2, 2014 #286 Share Posted February 2, 2014 We are looking forward to reading your review, as we also just returned home too. I see you caught us in one of your pix, the one in Starry Nights, my DH is the one in the yellow shirt on the far right, and I'm the one walking around in bedroom slippers the whole cruise due to a crushed foot, but improving:). We had a nice time!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoppingfever Posted February 2, 2014 #289 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I agree with the others about the pic between the two bridges. It is one of my most favorite pics I have seen here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell'sparents Posted February 2, 2014 #290 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Such a great review! I've been following all week. My husband and I fell in love with cruising on the Pride in 2011. I have sympathy pain for you that your week on the ship is over! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv322 Posted February 3, 2014 #291 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks for the heads up! I was contemplating the dolphin encounter next week, but we will be one of 5 ships in port. I think I'll pass! The Dolphin Encounter area wasn't nearly as packed as the "regular" beach ;). When the excursion boat docks at Balmoral, the dolphins are to the left & the regular beach is to the right. It might workout for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeywestK Posted February 3, 2014 #293 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Radio, the picture of the twin bridges is the best one I've seen yet. Thanks for a wonderful week of armchair traveling via your blog. It was great, as always! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCalicoCat Posted February 3, 2014 #294 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Great thread. I just booked the Repo Cruise in March 2015!:) I've been on Pride before, so it will be fun to see the 2.0 upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityGirlLost Posted February 3, 2014 #295 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I didn't realize Pride doesn't have the water park or Guy's on it yet. Still psyched to leave in 48 days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xowendyxo Posted February 3, 2014 #298 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thank you for the time you spent on your live report, it was fantastic! I will be on the Pride in April; only my second cruise (first one left from Pt. Canaveral). I have to admit, I am a little weary about the rough seas now. Hopefully it won't be so bad come April *fingers crossed* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skell Posted February 3, 2014 #299 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I would say me on the 16th but the wifi is too expensive on ship. And so is an American data plan :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
