Carnival Pride
“Baltimore's year-round Carnival ship — Bahamas, Caribbean, and Bermuda from a rare East Coast homeport.”
Carnival Pride entered service in 2002 as the second of Carnival's four Spirit-class ships. She's spent recent years homeported year-round in Baltimore, Maryland — one of only a handful of major cruise ships based there — sailing 6- to 9-night Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries, with Bermuda and seasonal Europe voyages in the mix. Like her sister Spirit, she carries the class's two-story Normandie Restaurant and sleek, glass-forward layout on a more intimate scale than Carnival's newest Excel-class ships.
A rare East Coast, drive-to homeport in Baltimore, Maryland — giving Mid-Atlantic cruisers an easy, no-fly option for Bahamas, Caribbean, and Bermuda itineraries most other Carnival ships don't offer from this region.
