Carnival Pride: 14-Night Cruise from Baltimore - October 31, 2027

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Relax on the world-renowned Magens Bay Beach, famous for its soft sand and calm waters.

The Carnival Pride is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Philipsburg, St. Maarten are plentiful. Plan your top priorities in advance and you'll generally find services accessible without long waits. Great Bay Beach stretches directly in front of Philipsburg and offers calm water, soft sand, and easy access to food and drinks.

Your ship arrives in Port of Basseterre, St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

Walking through downtown Basseterre reveals colorful colonial buildings, the central Circus Square, and a variety of local shops and cafés.

With 13 hours hours in Port of Oranjestad, Aruba, Caribbean - from 9:00 am to 10:00 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. The port area is compact and visitor friendly, with clear signage and facilities that streamline arrivals, departures, and sightseeing options, making independent exploration or guided tours convenient for all.

The Carnival Pride is a mid-sized ship, which means excursion options in Curacao, Caribbean are plentiful.

Willemstad's pastel buildings line the waterfront and narrow streets, creating one of the most photogenic towns in the Caribbean.

Your ship arrives in Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos at 8:00 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

Your cruise ends in Baltimore, Maryland, where the Carnival Pride is scheduled to dock at 10:00 am. On a smaller ship, the disembarkation process moves quickly - most passengers are off within one to two hours. If you're flying out, book your flight at least four hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Layered clothing works well due to changing weather near the water.
