                     The Carnival Pride recently welcomed a special guest — Dr. Tammy Jernigan, famed astronaut who served as the ship’s godmother when she “officially” named the vessel in 2002 in Port Canaveral, Fla., near NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

  The 2,974-passenger Carnival Glory and 2,124-passenger Carnival Miracle each earned perfect 100 scores on their most recent inspections conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service (U.S.P.H.).  Carnival Glory has achieved perfect 100 scores four times since its debut in 2003; this marks the second time in two years that Carnival Miracle has earned a perfect score.
