Christine Duffy, the head of Carnival Cruise Line, expressed her pride for the team who worked hard to refresh and improve the Carnival Pride for its Europe sailings. They did an amazing job and she is proud of their efforts.
The place has made some improvements. There is now a new Heroes Tribute Bar. The Dreams Studio is also new. It offers portrait packages. The Carnival Adventures Shop has opened too. You can buy cruise line merchandise there. Another upgrade is the Chef's Table. It's an exclusive dining experience.
Carnival Cruise Line values Heroes Tribute Bar. They sail more veterans than other cruise lines. Carnival Cruise Line makes special efforts to welcome and celebrate all service members.
Duffy said they are happy to have the Heroes Tribute bar. It is popular with guests. Military service members and their families like it too.
The steakhouse on the ship, which used to be called David's, has undergone changes. It's now called Fahrenheit 555, a name that guests may recognize from other Carnival ships. It's been well-liked by those who are loyal to Carnival.
The casino on the ship is bigger now. The spa is now called the Cloud 9 Spa and Fitness Center. It has new machines and health programs.
They've done some housekeeping work on the ship. They refreshed the public areas and staterooms. They also removed part of the ship's disco. They replaced it with more accessible staterooms.
Duffy said they're pleased the ship welcomes everyone, including those with disabilities. The ship has been made accessible for them and the work is now complete.
