3-2-08 Carnival Pride!!!

[RonandLori]

Hello all.. Is anyone else here going on this cruise? This will be hubby and mines first cruise and let me tell you, March is too far away..

Hello - My wife and I will be on this cruise.
This will be our tenth cruise on Carnival and
the third time going on this exact cruise/ship.
It is always exciting. What can we share with
you? I believe we have some "tips" that you
may find helpful.

[RonandLori]

Hello there.. Any tips would be great.. Packing tips mostly. Also Excursion tips. Do you book through carnival or do you go it on your own. We are trying to save as much $ as possible since my OT was just taken away. Can't wait to hear from you.

Greetings - Again - RE: Packing, if you are flying
in from Wyoming then you will have some built in
restrictions - as far as the ship is concerned you
could bring on several suitcases. Pride has laundry rooms available to the public. We are with you in
wanting to save some money - we have even done some
light washing in the cabin (bring clothes pins).
We have taken shore excursions both through the ship and on our own - much cheaper that way.
Type in (google) Mazatlantours - this is one
of the best and cheapest I have found. Last
time in Mazatlan we got a private tour guide
as we had met a couple on the ship and the four
of us had a great tour.......If you would
like to contact us directly....send email to
kshhchusc@cs.com

Great idea. I will email you. Have you ever joined a roll call before amd met up with the friends you made?

My husband George and I are booked on this cruise too. It's our third. I noticed today on the Travel Channel web site, that the Carnival Pride was rate #1 for onboard activities.
A comforting thing about booking an excursion through Carnival, is that they promise to get you back to the ship on time. We love to book excursions ahead of time and look forward to them as much as the onboard experience. Were not wealthy, but think the excursions are well worth it. Heidiheidiharris@netptc.net

Welcome.. Its nice to have you on the list. When I get home from work I will get on the site and make up a list of who all is coming unless someone else wants to start one. Let me know.
Thanks,
Lori
Oh, and thanks for the info on the Pride. I didn't know that. Ron and I havn't decided on excursions yet but really need to start thinking.
