Carnival Pride - New 8 day Mexico itineraries released for 2009

MIAMI (June 27, 2007) – Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2,124-passenger Carnival Pride will operate a series of eight-day cruises from San Diego, Calif., to the Mexican Riviera beginning in March 2009.

Featured ports on this itinerary include Acapulco, famous for its sizzling nightlife, excellent beaches, myriad shopping and dining experiences, and death-defying cliff divers; Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, offering a unique combination of a quaint fishing village and world-class resort renowned for crystal-clear waters and gorgeous white-sand beaches; and Manzanillo, offering magnificent beaches and a variety of watersports opportunities.

Carnival Pride will operate the eight-day schedule from San Diego March 22 – April 30, 2009 (the vessel will also operate a seven-day Mexican Riviera cruise from San Diego departing April 23, 2009).

“These eight-day Mexican Riviera voyages from San Diego provide a convenient and affordable option for sailing one of the world’s most beautiful cruising regions aboard a truly magnificent and innovative ‘Fun Ship,’” said Bob Dickinson, Carnival president and CEO.

Prior to the start-up of its San Diego-based cruises, Carnival Pride will continue its current schedule of seven-day Mexican Riviera cruises from Long Beach, Calif., through the departure of March 15, 2009. The new 3,006-passenger Carnival Splendor will assume the Carnival Pride’s year-round seven-day Mexican Riviera itinerary beginning March 29, 2009.

Since you said RUN, did you hear you have a chance to cruise with Chuckie and I ?

Were doin back 2 back... Mexican Riviera ?

at least think about it....lol

[JoeyandDavid]

we will always consider... over the years we have built up anger toward carnival corporation as a whole and with a passion all because of their "fun" ship attitude.... many have advised me to take another look..... after years of boycotting it may be time to give them another chance.... MAYBE.......

Since we prefer smaller ships i guess the 2100 plus a few PAX on the pride is about as small as we will get on Carnival.. is this not correct?

Oh no I beleive that the Fantasy Class ships are smaller but they usually do the 3,4,5 day runs & thoes I agree are more of the party ships....The longer runs are not like that from what I have seen. I hear that the Spirit Class ship is Very Nice! I have never been on one so I am very intrested!

I have read that with these moves, Splendor in Long Beach and the Pride in San Diego, that the Spirit is moving to New Orleans some time in 2009. Has anyone else heard this?? This could be a great opportunity for a repositioning cruise!!
