Carnival Pride

Dining on Carnival Pride: cantina, burgers and three courses

Carnival Pride’s included food is at its best when it is casual. BlueIguana Cantina serves Mexican dishes in a lively cantina atmosphere, and Guy’s Burger Joint, created with celebrity chef Guy Fieri, turns out flame-grilled burgers with loaded toppings. Both are in the fare, so lunch between a swim and a show costs nothing extra.

In the evening the Dining Room serves three-course dinners nightly in a relaxed setting with no stuffiness, and that is included too. Through the day there are casual buffet-style meals, and free soft-serve and frozen yoghurt for the hot afternoons on deck.

Camp Ocean, WaterWorks and Serenity for the grown-ups

Families get supervised clubs on Carnival Pride, all included in the fare. Camp Ocean runs age-based groups with ocean-themed activities for children aged 2 to 11, alongside NASA-inspired and Dr. Seuss-themed play spaces, and teenagers have a club of their own. Up on deck, WaterWorks is built for serious splashing, with room to swim or simply cool off in the sun. Our search for family cruises with Carnival gathers sailings planned around the same clubs.

Serenity Adult-Only Retreat gives grown-ups a quieter pool corner away from the busier decks, at no extra cost, while the rest of the ship’s action stays close at hand.

Baltimore to the Bahamas and the Caribbean islands

Carnival Pride sails round trips from Baltimore, Maryland, so every voyage begins and ends in the same port. Her longest are 12- and 14-night voyages into the Caribbean, departing in October, November and January. Stops change between departures, but you might see Philipsburg in St. Maarten, Castries in Saint Lucia, Bridgetown in Barbados or Road Town in Tortola. Fares on these longer voyages start from A$2,179pp*.

Her 7-night round trips head for the Bahamas in May, November and December. Typical calls include Nassau, Bimini, Half Moon Cay and Celebration Key, with fares from A$902pp*. You can browse Caribbean cruises sailing in 2027, which brings up both of these Baltimore programmes. She also makes occasional one-off sailings along the East Coast of America.

Because her voyages leave from Baltimore, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. Carnival Pride belongs to Carnival’s Spirit Class, with ships including Carnival Spirit, Carnival Legend and Carnival Miracle. The rest of the fleet is on our Carnival Cruise Line page.
