Carnival Pride arrived in 2002 as the second Spirit-class ship and quickly became one of the fleet's most popular East Coast vessels. She homeports in Baltimore for most of the year, giving the Mid-Atlantic market drive-to access to Bahamas and Caribbean itineraries. The interiors lean into a theme of famous world landmarks, which sounds kitschy but actually works. A 2018 refurbishment added Guy's Burger Joint, BlueIguana Cantina, and the RedFrog Rum Bar, keeping her food and drink options competitive with newer ships.
