Carnival Pride Bahamas Cruise Review Blog 12/19/09 Day 7

Today the ship was still rocky but a bit better than yesterday. This was our last day on the cruise and Baltimore didn't sound too appealing with temperature in the teens to the high 30's according to the forecast. We at lunch at the Mermaid's Grille. There was a good pot roast dish and a cute ice cream swan dessert but otherwise the food was very mediocre and the lines were much too long again. Later in the afternoon we checked out the Christmas show at 3 PM. It was a nice festive production and at the end we got to get on stage and take photos with some of the Carnival Pride dancers and singers plus with the ship captain as well. One unfortunate thing about the schedule was that the ship galley tour was at 3:15 and we were forced to miss it. We thought that would have been a nice experience.

A little later we attended the fun farewell party which offered everyone a free cocktail drink with live music. About an hour later I got violently sick. The ship was rocking badly and I'm not sure if it was sea-sickness or something I ate/drank. I don't think it was sea-sickness because I've never gotten sea-sick before, but it could have been. We tried to eat at the main dining room but I could not get past the appetizer before having to run back to the cabin to throw up. I had to lay in bed with the chills and sleep so we had to miss the Liars Club. Thankfully after my nap I felt much better and we were able to attend the Carnival Legends show at 10:30 PM. It was a funny show featuring fellow cruisers singing and dancing on stage along with the Carnival Pride dancers and singers. Afterward I felt like I could now stomach some food so we had some midnight snack at Mermaid's Grille (pizza, french fries, chicken breast, chili, sauerkraut, etc).

The Good:
-Christmas show was festive and entertaining
-free cocktail drinks at the Fun Farewell party
-Legends of Carnival party was fun and funny

The Mediocre:
-Food at the Mermaid's Grille for lunch was lacking in selection again and weren't all that great
-Oddly this is the only cruise we've been on where they didn't have most (or a good %) of the crew come down to stage to be appreciated by the crowd

The Bad:
-long lines at the Mermaid's Grille
-We were unable to attend the ship galley tour due to scheduling conflict with the Christmas show
