Am going on Carnival Pride to the Mexican Riviera (Mazatlan, PV, Cabo) at the end of March 2007. Consider myself an experienced cruiser (3 on RCL and one previous Carnival Paradise). Wondering
if anyone has been on this ship, what your impressions are, and suggestions for activities at ports of call (we really liked to beach it). We have always cruised out of Miami - this will be our first time out of LA. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can't help with the beaches...we like to do other things. But we just went on the Pride in December. We really enjoyed the cruise director (which should still be the same I think). The service was great. The food was great. (except at David's the restaurant that costs extra money....service was bad and food wasn't cooked to order)

The decor on this ship wasn't my favorite...but it was still really nice. The layout of the ship is one of my favorites.

There is an early check-in at Long Beach in the Queen Mary...if you get there before 11:00 AM. You didn't say how you were getting there.
Luggage is dropped off in the parking garage...the area closest to the pier. Luggage handlers do not work for Carnival...tips are probably a wise thing.

I don't remember there being much difference - for the most part - between Carnival and RCI. There's the usual nightly paper, the sail and sign card, etc.

This is one of my favorite itineraries...I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Do one of the dolphin swims in PV. My family had an awsome time and can't wait to do it again. If you feel adventurous book thru shoretrips.com it will save a ton of cash you just have to get your own transportation to the park $20 each way. the website will save you about $70 per person

We are doing the same cruise in May. Where is the best place to stay pre-cruise in Long Beach? How can we get from the Long Beach airport to cruise terminal? Thanks!
