Creator's Key Takeaways

I do have premium balcony stateroom in this Cruise so this is a really big room

I've always wanted to sell on a spirit class this will complete the Carnival Cruise Line Fleet classes for me

I highly recommend it if you can get access to one of these premium balconies and book it

Carnival really put a lot of work into refurbing the Carnival Pride

Creator's Tips & Advice

Order bottled water from Carnival for your room instead of drinking the charged bottles
Do research on alternative transportation from London Heathrow to Dover if booking Carnival's bus
Get to guest services early on embarkation day as lines fill up quickly

YouTube Video Description

I board the Carnival Pride in Europe to explore the recent 2023 dry dock renovations to the cruise ship. I set sail on a Carnival Cruise Line ship, Carnival Pride, from Dover, England for a 9-day voyage to Norway. The Carnival Pride, part of Carnival's Spirit class, debuted back in 2002 and is one of the oldest ships in the Carnival Cruise fleet. Carnival recently renovated the Carnival Pride during an extensive dry dock and I show you all of those renovations in this video. For help booking your next trip with my official travel partner: http://travelwithzach.com/ This Carnival Pride cruise will take me to Norway on a 9-day cruise. I will have many videos to come from the Carnival Pride cruise ship, including a food and dining review, a room tour, sea day vlogs, and a full Carnival Pride ship tour. This was my 25th cruise overall and my 12th Carnival cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Carnival Pride cruise ship and cruising with Carnival Cruise Line.
