Carnival Pride

Carnival Pride Overview and AP Status 2026

Carnival Pride is operated by Carnival Cruise Line, part of Carnival Corporation & plc. The ship was built by Kværner Masa-Yards in Helsinki and entered service in 2002, joining Carnival’s Spirit-class alongside sister ships like Legend and Miracle.

On the technical side, Pride measures about 88,500 gross tons, is approximately 963 feet long and 106 feet wide, and sails with around 2,134 guests at double occupancy supported by a crew of about 930. Those headline stats come from Carnival’s official fact sheet, while length and beam are widely reported in industry references.

Dining skews toward a compact lineup rather than mega-ship variety. You can expect roughly eight primary restaurants and eateries, anchored by the two-deck Normandie main dining room and the Lido buffet, plus familiar Carnival staples like Guy’s Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, Pizza Pirate, the Carnival Deli, Swirls, and room service. Specialty options include Bonsai Sushi and the Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse, which in 2023 replaced the former David’s Steakhouse during a refit.

Beyond food, Carnival Pride carries the brand’s fan-favorite amenities: the WaterWorks aqua park, a Serenity adults-only retreat, Playlist Productions shows in the main lounge, The Punchliner Comedy Club, Alchemy Bar for crafted cocktails, RedFrog Pub and other lounges, a full fitness center and spa, and kids’ and teens’ spaces under the Camp Ocean, Circle C, and Club O2 programs. Several of these venues and family features were refreshed alongside the steakhouse rebrand.

As for where she sails, Pride is primarily based in Baltimore, Maryland, offering year-round cruises to the Bahamas and Bermuda, plus seasonal longer runs to the Caribbean. The ship also operates special “Journeys” itineraries to Greenland and Atlantic Canada, which have become a Baltimore highlight in recent years. Carnival’s site lists the ship as sailing to the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caribbean, and Greenland & Canada, with examples that include a 14-day Baltimore–Greenland loop calling at Nanortalik and Qaqortoq.
