Hi Beachgirl80, Also am not on that cruise, but have sailed on "Carnival Pride" in 02 on the western route..Key West,Belize,Cozumel,Progreso. I can only speak to the ship itself..She is truly the "Pride" of the Carnival fleet! The ship is beautiful from first step on board, with a band playing music, and a nice open space, being on several other Carnival ships, I can say was vastly different. The ship's layout is great and even a non-Art person would be in awe of the artwork. The back lido bar is a great place for a cocktail and to meet people before dinner. One word of caution the painted and tiled floors are slippery when wet. I just hate they moved Her to West Coast. I have some pics of the ship if you want. Hope you have a wonderful cruise
