Promenade Deck

     

         
Promenade Deck is host to many entertainment and dining options of Carnival Pride.  The Taj Mahal Lounge is located completely forward and also spans upward to Atlantic Deck and Main Deck.  The Taj Mahal Lounge can accommodate 1,167 guests and is the ship's main show lounge.  Guests can expect nightly shows here including those of the Carnival Pride's singers and dancers.

The Taj Mahal lounge celebrates the beauty of architecture.  It is filled with intricate, Indian designs, elephant friezes, and stonework with small jewels pressed into decorative designs and illuminated from behind.

Aft of the Taj Mahal Lounge is the Crystal Card Room and it can accommodate up to twenty guests.  The Piazza Café is just steps away from the Crystal Card Room and features specialty coffee beverages and delectable snacks for a reasonable charge.

The 1889 work of art 'Starry Night' by Vincent van Gogh is the décor premise for the Starry Night Jazz Club located on the port side of Promenade Deck.  Guests will feel as if they have walked into a courtyard surrounded by walls, windows, and shutters.  Of course, 'Starry Night' is used as wall and ceiling murals and it is illuminated by tiny lights.

Carnival Pride's sports bar, The Perfect Game can accommodate up to 67 sports fans and emphasizes the beauty of experience.  A whimsical and fun décor is boasted here by the means of many types of sports balls which serve as wall sculptures and table bases.  Furthermore, the curtains depict basketball hoop netting to round off the theme.

For those in the mood for gaming, the Winner's Club Casino is adjacent to the sports bar.  Paintings of horses along the walls and ceiling convey an atmosphere of victory in the Jockey Club at the Kentucky Derby.  There is also a mural of Churchill Downs and bas-relief statues of jockeys.

The base of the Renaissance Atrium is amidships on Promenade Deck and hosts essential guest services such as the Information Desk and the Shore Excursions Office.  The beauty of the Renaissance is apparent in the soaring nine-deck atrium.  The works of a variety of Italian artists including Botticelli and Raphael can be seen here.  One specific work featured in the lobby is that of Paolo Veronese and is titled 'Celebrates, Glories & Triumphs of Venice' from 1696 to 1770.

Proceeding aft along Promenade Deck, the predominance of Italian art and culture can be seen in the Florentine Lounge.  The Florentine Lounge can accommodate up to 85 guests and features the 'Venus Urbino' by Titian from 1488 to 1490.  Overhead are beautiful hanging crystal flowers where fiber optic stamens change colour.  Accompanying framed copies of Italian master artists is maroon and gold furniture.

The Captain's Club room is a supplementary annex to the Normandie Restaurant and can set up to 86 guests at approximately ten large tables.

The Normandie Restaurant

     
The Normandie Restaurant is Carnival Pride's main dining room and can seat 1,250 guests.

The theme here is that of the famous ocean liner Normandie, which many consider to have been one of the most beautiful liners ever built.  The décor emphasizes dark wood and deco accents.  Decorated copper pillars and oversized portholes also punctuate the Normandie Dining Room.

Like on other Carnival Cruise Line ships, there are both tables and booths.  The booths are of lighter wood and feature lighted glass cases that illustrate Greco-Roman athletic figures.
