Sail From Baltimore - 08/29/09 - Cruise Line Fans: Cruise Forum, Reviews and Chat From Real Cruisers

Cruise Planner · 08-11-2008, 03:25 PM

As has been previously announced, the Carnival Pride will be coming to Baltimore for year-round cruises beginning next Fall. We have heard some excellent reviews about this ship and are excited to be offering this product to our valued clients.

We have booked 16 cabins on the Carnival Pride for a 7-night cruise leaving out of Baltimore on September 13, 2009 and going to the Bahamas (Nassau & Freeport) and Port Canaveral. I've attached a PDF flyer with all the information.

We've already sold 5 cabins, so we have 11 remaining. (We may be able to get a couple more cabins if needed, but this sailing is already closed to groups as this will be the first 7-night cruise on the Pride out of Baltimore and we have no doubt it will sell out.)

We have 7 balcony cabins and 4 inside cabins remaining, but we may be able to book other categories if someone is interested.

Our balcony cabins are $947 per person for Category 8E (current advertised rate is $999) and our inside cabins are $677 for Category 4B (current advertised rate is $699).

Price does not include the $58.65 for taxes and $63 for fuel supplement per person. (And yes, it's possible the rates could decline, so we'll keep our eyes open for any specials which may affect the price, but we anticipate prices will continue to go up. So, it's best to book early to insure the cheapest fare.)

As a part of our group, you will also get $100 of onboard credit per cabin to spend as you wish. (This is not part of any current advertised rates.)

If you are interested, the deposit is only $25 per person!

I would need your deposit as soon as possible, as this will provide you a guarantee cabin, which means we don't select the actual cabin. The remaining $225 deposit per person is due by April 16th. If you would like a specific cabin, then the full deposit of $250 per person is due immediately.

Final payment is due by June 15th and you may cancel anytime up until that date and get a full refund, so there's no need to worry if you're unsure of your plans. It would be better to book it and have to cancel than to decide later you want to go and find out there are no cabins available.

Please call or email if you have any questions.

Hope to see you onboard as Nancy and I will be going along and hosting this cruise, so there just may be some other surprises forthcoming!

Hi Cruise Planner -
I see you got your Group Cruise link in your signature. Looking good

Pete - have there been any changes, such as dates, ports, etc. which need to be posted here? I thought you had said something about adding Turks & Caicos. Also, howmany rooms are still available?
