Onboard Experience
Dress Code
The first thing to remember is that you're on vacation and you are onboard Carnival Cruises’ ‘Fun Ships’ to have a good time. Secondly, remember to travel light. Keeping these two pieces of advice in mind are very important for packing.
Casual attire and resort wear is typically appropriate attire onboard and in-port. Shorts, slacks, sundresses, blouses, sandals, etc., are appropriate for women, and clothing for men is just as casual. Travelers might also want to consider bringing along a sweater or jacket for cool evenings and inexpensive rain gear in case of a sudden shower. While restaurants typically have casual dress code, there are also instances where you may visit a specialty restaurant or attend a special Captain’s Cocktail Party and Gala Farewell Dinner that requires business casual or formal attire. For days in port where you will be participating in various shore excursions, you should dress accordingly to the dress codes of the sites you are visiting, as well as bring a pair of sneakers for strenuous walking.
Formal Wear: Men: suit and tie, sport coat, tie and slacks; Women: evening dresses, cocktail dresses; pantsuits.
Casual Resort Wear: Men: sport shorts, slacks; Women: dresses, skirts, shorts, Capri pants.
*Please Note: Shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and bathing attire are not permitted in the Dining Room during dinner.

Ship Reviews
Carnival Pride receives mixed reviews, with many guests praising the friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and good value for money. The ship is generally considered clean and comfortable, with a variety of activities and entertainment options. However, several guests noted issues with food quality, outdated ship features, and occasional lapses in service or rule enforcement. Some experienced problems with odors in cabins and public areas, and a few were disappointed with certain ports or excursions. Overall, Carnival Pride is seen as a solid choice for first-time or budget-conscious cruisers, but may fall short for those seeking a more upscale experience.
Service is frequently highlighted as friendly, accommodating, and attentive, though a few guests found it inconsistent or below expectations compared to other cruise lines.
