As I mentioned on another thread, a 1:30 to 1:30 stop in Bermuda is hardly enough time, and is certainly not "TWO FULL DAYS. :confused:

 

Not to mention off season.

I just glad to see they fully committed to Baltimore. I like all of the additional options. Volume is always good out of Baltimore hope they add another ship even if it is part time.

CARNIVAL PRIDE TO OPERATE SPECIAL 10- TO 14-DAY CARIBBEAN SAILINGS,

FIVE-DAY BERMUDA CRUISES FROM BALTIMORE AND SAN JUAN IN 2015-16

 

MIAMI (August 20, 2014) – For the first time, Carnival Pride will operate a series of 10- to 14-day Caribbean cruises round-trip from Baltimore and one-way between Baltimore and San Juan featuring some of the region’s most breathtaking destinations, as well as new five-day Bermuda cruises and unique six- and eight-day Caribbean/Bahamas voyages, beginning in October 2015.

“Our guests and travel agent partners have been seeking more varied options from the Northeast – particularly longer length voyages – and we’re delighted to expand our schedules from Baltimore and San Juan to provide these attractive ‘Fun Ship’ cruise offerings from these ports,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival’s president and CEO. “These new voyages not only provide vacationers with an abundance of five- to 14-day cruise choices but also feature a wide range of spectacular island destinations throughout the Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda,” he added.

 

One-of-a-Kind 10- to 14-Day Caribbean Cruises

Carnival Pride will operate a series of 10-, 11- and 14-day cruises either round-trip from Baltimore or one-way between Baltimore and San Juan in 2015 and 2016. The voyages include an 11-day exotic southern Caribbean cruise from Baltimore to San Juan departing Jan. 17, 2016, with stops at Grand Turk, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, and St. Croix; a 10-day exotic eastern Caribbean cruise from San Juan to Baltimore departing Jan. 28, 2016, calling at St. Thomas, Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia; St. Kitts and St. Maarten; and a 14-day eastern Caribbean cruise round-trip from Baltimore March 13, 2016, featuring eight different island destinations: Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Thomas, Dominica, St. Lucia, Martinique, Antigua and St. Maarten.

 

During these voyages, guests can relax on some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, enjoy a host of shopping, dining and sightseeing opportunities, experience unique Caribbean cultures and visit centuries-old landmarks and attractions.

 

New Five-Day Bermuda Cruises, Six- and Eight-Day Sailings

Carnival Pride will also offer two five-day Bermuda cruises in 2015-16 – one departing Oct. 26, 2015, and another April 10, 2016. These cruises spend two full days at Heritage Wharf, where guests can marvel at the island’s legendary pink sand beaches, enjoy a variety of watersports and visit historic sites such as the Royal Naval Dockyard and Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse, the oldest cast iron lighthouse in the Western Hemisphere.

 

Additionally, three six-day Bahamas cruises operating round-trip from Baltimore and featuring visits to Freeport and Nassau will be offered. These value-packed cruises, which depart Nov. 30 and Dec. 20, 2015, and Feb. 14, 2016, provide consumers with a new short duration cruise option from Baltimore at an incredible value.

Carnival Pride will also offer a new series of eight-day exotic eastern Caribbean voyages departing from Baltimore and featuring Grand Turk, the private Bahamian island of Half Moon Cay and Nassau, each offering gorgeous beaches and excellent watersports. Departure dates for these voyages include Oct. 18 and 31, and Dec. 26, 2015, and Feb. 20, and April 15 and 23, 2016.

A special six-day East Coast U.S. and Bahamas cruise from Baltimore featuring the line’s first-ever scheduled in-transit call to Charleston, S.C., as well as Port Canaveral, Fla., Nassau, and Freeport, will be offered Nov. 22, 2015.

That's about it. Want to share your Pride or Bermuda cruising experience with this announcement?

 

 

Never have cruised to Bermuda (have done land packages). Loved the Pride, sailed her 3 times. Also loved sailing out of Baltimore. Great move by Carnival.

Ugh!!!! I am super annoyed that the Pride doesn't have any wheelchair accessible cabins for 3! :mad: Booked 2 cabins on the Pride repositioning when it first came out - now it looks like we'll always have to do that to cruise Carnival close to home.

 

I would love to book the 10 / 11 day B2B Pride from Baltimore to San Juan and back to Baltimore but 2 cabins for 3 people seems a bit much. I'm booked on the Triumph B2B and would switch to this one (no tender ports and leaves/returns closer to home) but with 2 cabins, it would be $2300 (and that's using Early Saver for the Pride and not Early Saver for Triumph) more.

 

Have to seriously run numbers to see if the additional travel costs to Galveston versus Baltimore will bring the costs closer together.

Exciting Fun Ship 2.0 Innovations

This fall, Carnival Pride will undergo a multi-million-dollar makeover that will add a variety of dining, bar and entertainment innovations that are part of the line’s Fun Ship 2.0 product enhancement initiative. New features will include Guy’s Burger Joint, developed in tandem with Food Network star Guy Fieri, the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina serving authentic Mexican fare, EA SPORTS Bar with a 16-monitor video wall and 24/7 sports ticker, and two poolside watering holes – RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar.

Sure to be a hit with guests of all ages will be WaterWorks featuring Green Thunder, the fastest and steepest slide at sea, as well as the line’s signature Twister slide and a water spray park. Also added will be Bonsai Sushi serving authentic Asian specialties, RedFrog Pub serving Carnival’s own private label draft beer, ThirstyFrog Red, Library Bar with self-service wine dispensers, and Cherry On Top, offering bulk candy, apparel and other items. New entertainment options such as Hasbro, The Game Show with larger-than-life adaptations of the company’s iconic games, and Playlist Productions where talented performers interact with spectacular staging and special effects, will be added, as well.

cheers

I wonder how long it will be until the Bermuda prices sky rocket. The Norfolk trip shot up so quickly.

 

I booked today because of this. The Splendor rates more than doubled in a short amount of time. I can't believe I booked a cruise so far away but I wanted to book early before the rates shot up.

Why would't Carnival do anything permeant for the pride? I assume in between these series of cruises the pride will resume it's 7 day itineraries going to FL, Nassau, GT, Freeport and HMC. I wish Carnival would offer something different week to week instead of the normal 7 day's. St. Thomas sounds nice!!!
