Carnival Pride Is Back In Action
The Carnival Pride ship is back in service after a month of refurbishments. They upgraded everything from the front to the back of the ship. The vessel is 21 years old. The ship was out of the water from April 28.
Christine Duffy, the president of Carnival Cruise Line, expressed her pride in the team's outstanding work on Carnival Pride's revamp, perfect for its Europe sailings.
Some new things were added to the place. These include the Heroes Tribute Bar. Another thing is the Dreams Studio where one can get beautiful portrait packages done. One can also visit the Carnival Adventures Shop to buy cruise line merchandise. Lastly, there's also the Chef's Table that offers an exclusive dining experience.
The Heroes Tribute Bar is important to Carnival Cruise Line. They take extra care to welcome and celebrate all service members. They also sail more veterans than any other cruise line.
Duffy likes the Heroes Tribute bar. It is popular with guests. Military service members and their families like it too. Duffy is happy to see it added.
The steakhouse on the ship got a makeover and a new name. It used to be called David's, but now it's called Fahrenheit 555. This name is used on other Carnival cruise ships too. People who like Carnival cruises really like this restaurant.
The ship now has a bigger casino. The spa is now called Cloud 9 Spa and Fitness Center. It has new equipment and wellness programs.
The ship has undergone some cleaning work. The public areas and rooms have been refreshed. The disco area has been replaced with staterooms. This will make it easier for guests to access their rooms.
Duffy said that they are delighted to announce the completion of work on Carnival ships to accommodate guests with disabilities. Everyone is welcome aboard.
The Carnival Pride ship was introduced in 2002. It got a major refurbishment in 2019 called Fun Ship 2.0. It can accommodate over 2,100 guests or up to almost 2,700 when packed full.
The ship has been updated and will travel through Europe until October. It will leave from Dover and go on 9- and 12-night trips to Norway, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, and other places. You can leave until September 1st.
The ship will leave Dover on September 10, 2023. It's a one-way journey. The ship will stop at ports in Spain and Portugal. Finally, it will arrive in Rome (Civitavecchia).
