Ship Visited by Carnival President Christine Duffy and Chief Culinary Officer Emeril Lagasse
Carnival Pride embarked today on her first sailing of the Europe summer season, sporting the signature Carnival red, white, and blue hull design for the first time. The ship received extensive enhancements that include bow-to-stern upgrades to enhance accessibility on the ship for guests with disabilities.
Carnival Cruise Line President Christine Duffy and Chief Culinary Officer Emeril Lagasse visited the ship in Barcelona before she set sail.
“I’m so proud of our team. They have done amazing work refreshing and enhancing Carnival Pride just in time for her Europe sailings,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line. “We welcome everyone on Carnival ships, so we are happy we’ve completed the work to make the ship accessible to those with disabilities. I’m also delighted to see the addition of the Heroes Tribute bar since it has been popular with our guests and has resonated well with military service members and their families.”
Other Carnival Pride Enhancements
The 2,680-guest Carnival Pride has been undergoing enhancements since April 28. She returned to service with several additional Carnival offerings and other improvements. Some of these include a new Heroes Tribute Bar, Chef’s Table, Dreams Studio, and Carnival Adventures Shop. In addition, the ship’s steakhouse has been refreshed and re-named Fahrenheit 555.
