asalligo Posted March 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Perfect! I was on the Pride two weeks ago. Stop by cabin 6235 and tell those people to get out of my room. That is my Cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drenee73 Posted March 8, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 8, 2014 We'll be going on the 30th. I am beyond ready! :) I can't wait to hear how the connectivity is. We were on Magic Oct 2012 and they had upgraded the whole internet connectivity on Magic. It was great! :) If Pride isn't awesome yet, hopefully after 2.0 she will be! Thanks for making me crazy for vacation even more! Enjoy DC! You'll have some good weather this weekend - lucky for you. It's been CRAZY this year.

Dave994 Posted March 8, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Pre-Trip Day 1- We have arrived safely in Baltimore and spent last night at the Baltimore Aquarium. After 5pm on Friday nights the cost is $12 per person. My daughter described it best by calling it "cool but boring". I enjoyed seeing all that we got a chance to see, but they don't have scheduled times for Dolphin shows anymore and so the one aspect I really wanted to see we didn't. The Jellyfish were cool as were the sharks, but I am glad we didn't pay the full admission price to this. Some pics from the Aquarium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave994 Posted March 8, 2014 Author #13 Share Posted March 8, 2014 We spent the rest of the night checking out some of the local area around Pier 5. Here are a few pics from that.... Giant Xylophone. My DW and I staying warm... My DS in front of a cool fountain... The booze district?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't actually know the cost of our flights...they were a generous gift from my MIL. We drove the last time we did the pride and loved the drive down. Very scenic and an easy drive. I would certainly do it again without a thought...and it is certainly cheaper than flying. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcrusin Posted March 9, 2014 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Enjoying the review. We will be sailing the Pride in 21 days. Have a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave994 Posted March 9, 2014 Author #20 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Pre Cruise day 2- Today was our trip to Washington DC. There was a free shuttle from our hotel to the Baltimore Convention Centre and then a free bus that took us to Penn station. Not thinking we left our passports back at the hotel only to find out that you need photo ID to book tickets to Washington. Luckily I had my wallet with my Drivers License and my wife had her Health Card...the kids didn't need ID. Tickets to DC are only $14 return each person which is a good deal I think. We did the usual tour and hit all the major tourist area's....I will include a few pics from today. Side note: I am not sure why..but my DW and I both thought the American History Smithsonian was filled with cool from all through the years of entertainment....Fonzies jacket, the original C3PO....ect...instead it's a very small room of items like that they rotate through. Lesson learned. DW and DD at the Capital Building. I know it's hard to see...but I promise the building in this picture is the White House :) The original Kermit the frog Muppet :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
