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.
