Carnival Pride

With its impressive world art motif throughout the ship, including a towering, red glass-domed Renaissance atrium, you'll be inspired by sights inside and out. During the day, try your luck at the Winner's Club Casino, get pampered at The Body Beautiful Spa, work out and play on the upper decks or escape to the Swedish-styled Nobel Library for some quiet time. Gastronomic options run the gamut from seated dining to bistro-style, casual meals to an elegant night at the reservations-only supper club, David's. Top off the night with dancing at Starry Night, glamorous entertainment in the Taj Mahal, or relax in one of the numerous lounges, like the pagoda-themed Ivory Bar. With Camp Carnival's Children's World and the Fun Club, younger passengers are never left out of the action.

ITINERARY

Long Beach, CA

Long Beach, located about 20 miles south of Los Angeles, is the perfect destination for leisure seekers. Beautifully situated along the Pacific Coast, the city provides unique dining experiences and an array of shopping choices. The port is adjacent to the RMS Queen Mary, the legendary liner launched in 1936, and used during WWII to transport military personnel. The Queen Mary retired to Long Beach in 1967 and now serves as a hotel. Be sure to visit the Aquarium of the Pacific, home to more than 12,000 animals, and featuring a shark lagoon. Next door is Rainbow Harbor and Shoreline Village, offering restaurants and arcades, perfect for the whole family. Long Beach is also home to a variety of cultural events, music festivals and sporting events.

Consisting of 11 miles of beaches, 98 parks, five public golf courses and the largest municipally operated marina system in the nation, Long Beach is truly a paradise for lovers of the outdoors. The near perfect weather and friendly residents are an added bonus! Visit historic sites, such as Rancho Los Alamitos, the Tallship Californian and the Long Beach Museum of Art.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Puerto Vallarta has all the amenities of a classic beach resort: surf, sand and sun. But, that’s just the beginning. Perfect for honeymooners, families and seniors alike, Puerto Vallarta features fun-filled activities including: sport fishing, golfing, horseback riding, hiking and whale watching. A modern destination that remains loyal to its traditional Mexican roots, this port is distinct from any other destination in Mexico. The mountains, jungles, beaches, rivers and waterfalls make Puerto Vallarta the perfect vacation destination.

Since this port was discovered as a prime vacation spot in the '60s, it has become home to luxury resorts and beautiful villas, but the city's tranquil past is still evident in its charming courtyards, cobblestone streets and markets. The most popular excursions visit Gringo Gulch, the town square and unique cathedral. There's always shopping and horseback riding or relaxing on the beach.

Mazatlan, Mexico

Mazatlan is the sport fishing capital of the world. As the ship pulls into harbor, passengers will catch sight of the El Faro lighthouse, the second-tallest lighthouse in the world. The most popular excursions are city tours that visit the main square, the historic district and the beaches, and an all-day tour to the Sierra Madre mountains to see the villages of Concordia and Copola.

If you're ready to experience some of the finest sailing and sport fishing available, then you're ready for Mazatlan. This is an exquisite seaside resort by anyone's standards. Of course, you don't have to partake in world-class water sports to enjoy Mazatlan. You can relax on one of its soft-sand beaches caressed by trade winds that are even softer. Or shop for silver jewelry and Mexican crafts in the shops of "The Golden Zone," where you can also celebrate your purchases at one of the area's lively cantinas.

Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

El Arco, a rock archway carved by the surf, dominates Cabo's harbor at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. The most popular excursion is a boat ride to the arch for some fantastic photo opportunities. Glass-bottom boat rides, snorkeling excursions and deep-sea fishing trips are also offered. On your own, shop at the pier's souvenir market or relax on a beautiful beach.

Championship golf courses, world-class deep sea fishing and incredible diving opportunities have transformed Cabo San Lucas, a once sleepy fishing town located on the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, into one of the most popular resort destinations in Mexico. Rolling sand dunes and hidden coves dot a countryside ringed by some of the most famous and often-photographed rock formations in the world.
