We'll be on our third Pride Cruise, second with our girls (ages 11 & 9).  We've gone in early November every time and have always had great weather and so much fun!  Looks like from reading another post about 11/9 cruisers there are a few other families from NV.  We're Vegas desert dwellers who can't wait to be on the water again!  Funny, our last cruise our girls participated in the Talent Show and there were quite a few kids from L.V. too--probably has something to do w/ getting two days off of school for Veteran's Day .

Those of you coming in the night before, where are you staying?

What a great place to celebrate your birthday!!  You should also go to David's to celebrate too.

We (Me, my husband and our 10-year-old son) will be on board the Pride for our first cruise on November 9.  I am so excited!  We will be the ones with the blinding pale skin and Vitamin D deficiency--as we did not get any sun this year in Juneau!!  I am so looking forward to some sun and relaxation!!! 

I am still planning shore excursions.  So far, I have booked Las Caletas and snorkeling with the sea lions in PV, and Randi's Happy Horses on Stone Island in Mazatlan.  We plan on doing the dolphin swim in Cabo.  I'm sort of wavering on my PV plans--is Las Caletas too much of a tourist trap...?  Does anyone have any other recommendations/tips for our first cruise and trip to the Mexican Riviera?  My goal is to get as much beach and sun as we possibly can without getting sucked into every tourist trap.  My son and husband would really like to ride some jet skis--which stop would be best for that?

Also, my birthday is on the 15th, so Ginny, maybe you and I can plan on doing shots together between 11:59 and 12:01 to celebrate our birthdays!  Anyway, we are looking forward to it, and I would appreciate any tips anyone would like to give!

Sounds like a plan!  See you then!

Please share the details!  Did you call and ask for the OBC?  Did the prices go down?  How did the OBC fairy find you--as I would like to make sure that he/she finds me too...  I am new to all this cruise stuff...  I will take all the OBC I can get!

Who is the OBC? Please let me know. Did the fairs go down?

I just went to carnival website and acted as if i was putting in for another cruise exactly like mine and noticed the price went down from when i booked mine... Called my pvp and asked her to cehcked in to it and she did and she is waiting for her supervisor to approve the OBC..... Yeah i am so excited extra money is always great.....

Thanks for the info. I was upgraded to 8I and an extended balcony. Any more info anyone has would be appreciated.

Yeay!  We will all celebrate our birthdays!  Plan for shots on the Lido deck at midnight--mine is not until the 15th, our last night at sea!
