Carnival to offer cruises from Baltimore in 2009
Carnival is coming! Carnival is coming! No, they're not British, but they are a really big cruise line and they're set to arrive in Baltimore next year. This is a really good get that's sure to be a boon for our cruise terminal and cruise lovers, too.
I'm not the biggest fan of Carnival as a cruise line simply because I prefer smaller, more intimate ships. Too many people makes me nervous. But it'll be nice for Baltimore travelers to have another option for cruising. After all, how many times can you go to Bermuda?
Carnival plans to offer two different 7-day itineraries to the Caribbean aboard the 2,124-passenger ship Carnival Pride. The ship gets good ratings at CruiseCritic.com. You can also take a virtual tour of the staterooms, restaurants, lounges and other features of the Pride at Carnival's Web site.

This sounds like a great idea, please keep informed of the price and of the dates of these trips.

i was a frequent Carnival passenger. The ships, crews and people are great. Recently air fares and an elderly mother made me a captive of RC and Bermuda. I want more options. Welcome Carnival.
please let me be among the first to go!
By the way, Helen, I've read that the Carnival Pride is one of the best ships for people with disabilities, such as the elderly.
