LAST RENOVATED
2023
3 years ago
The Carnival Pride, a Spirit-class ship, was last renovated in April 2023. This dry dock refreshed public areas and staterooms with new carpeting and upholstery, while adding the Heroes Tribute Bar & Lounge. Technical upgrades ensured operational reliability, and the hull was repainted with Carnival’s livery. The ship, accommodating 2,124 passengers, retained its unique Renaissance-inspired décor and Serenity Adult-Only Retreat, with the focus on upkeep rather than extensive changes. The next scheduled ship refurbishment will occur in April 2026. The Carnival Pride upgrades will focus on the Serenity Adult-Only Retreat area, with planned upgrades to the lounging furniture and a refresh of the Cloud 9 Spa thermal suites.
