Behind the Fun Tour - Pride

[carnival03]

Anyone have info, tips, experience, and thoughts on this Behind the Fun tour? Specifically on the Pride.

We did this tour and enjoyed it very much. It is worth it. I was disappointed that they gave us a soap carving while in the specialty restaurant ???? We at first thought it was a fancy desert, lol. My tip to you, though would be to book it early, it fills up fast.

I did the Behind the Fun tour on the Pride in 2013, before the latest upgrades. I thought it was well worth the price. We saw many parts of the ship that most people do not see. I as very impressed by the food storage areas. They really are very organized. Being an engineer myself, the engine control room was very impressive as well.

 

You can't take any cameras or cell phones with you, but they will take pictures of the group and your party in particular with the Captan on the Bridge. These photos are given to you later that night.

 

Like I said, in my opinion, it is worth the price of the tour.

My husband did it on the Pride last year. He loved it - he said it gave him a whole new perspective on the ship and how it all works.

Thanks for that detailed list. I took this tour on the Fantasy. Looks like we hit most of the same things but no carnival bag, steakhouse visit or carved soap and the only picture was a group shot on the bridge.

Closed toe shoes required. Some steep ladder like steps.

Does anyone know what time the behind the fun tour usually starts?

Usually around 9 is starting time. We did the fantasy in February and we got one with everyone who participated and one of ourselves together
