Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted September 9, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2021 You know, I love the nostalgic look of the Pride with the oversized portholes and heavy brass hardware. I also love the tribute to European art and history. So what if there are only 2 pay restaurants on the ship. So what if the casino is extra smoky (ok, in all honesty I HATE that). So what if my experience will pale in comparison to all these wonderful Mardi Gras cruises. I went to CVS at lunchtime today with my daughter and less than 30 minutes later we both had our digital certificates stamped NEGATIVE! The anxiety is finally over and the fun begins. Who's going? Like everyone, I'm so happy to be cruising again! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinMama2003 Posted September 10, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Enjoy your cruise! It is honestly the best feeling stepping onto the ships again after the shutdown. Have fun!! 🍹 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMAE Posted September 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2021 We have been on the Pride 10 times, it is our favorite ship. It isn't as large as most ships, but believe the Spirit class has the highest space ratio (41:1) in the fleet. I wish they added the Dive-in movies to the Legend during drydock. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anung Un Rama Posted September 10, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Have a great time breaking her back in. I'm two weeks away from being back on the Pride. Please let us know how all the new protocols work and I'd love to know who's at the Alchemy Bar. Cheers and enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC 462 Posted September 10, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 10, 2021 We missed the excitement by one week! Booked the September 5 cruise instead. But we will be driving by our favorite ship on 95S today at the Fort McHenry Tunnel. Can't wait until Halloween for our first 14 day, when she repositions to Tampa. Enjoy, Intrepid, enjoy! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMAE Posted September 11, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Maitre d' Ken Byrne is back I hear. He and his team in the MDR do a wonderful job! He will be missed when the Legend takes over in Baltimore. He told us the Pride is his favorite ship. I wish Baltimore had a port cam. Stay safe and enjoy your cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyjr88 Posted September 11, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 11, 2021 My favorite ship! And Ken Byrne is hands down the best maitre d ever. Can't wait to hear all about your cruise. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
