Carnival Pride [WAS: Carnival Miracle]

So I guess everybody got the email:
"Bare Necessities is Proud to Announce the Carnival Pride
We are jumping ship from the Carnival Miracle to her twin sister, the Carnival Pride, for our February 2017 cruise...
"
The email makes it sound like a better ship. Anybody been on both ships that can confirm/deny that claim? Not that it matters to me since this will be my first time on a cruise ship anyway.
Aww, now the group name is borked ;)

We've only been on the Pride and it doesn't have the usual Carnival over the top gaudy interior themes. It is more refined and as a bonus it got the full Fun Ships 2.0 upgrade. Miracle was missing the outdoor theater and Guy's Burgers, and went with rebranded other areas to avoid paying royalties to other companies. I'm glad we wil now get to see a full 2.0 ship.
I'll change the name when I get home and on a real computer. We are at Berkshire Vista nudist resort for the long weekend and I only have an iPad.

The Pride's steakhouse is called David's and has a full sized replica of Michelangelo's David. I'm sure there will be several nude pictures taken in similar poses below the nude sculpture.

I'm signing up for this one. Been on the last 2 skipping this year. From what I read this will be the most nude you can go. Just wondering seeing we are the only ones in port if we'll be able to be naked off the ship???

That balcony deal was pretty good! Alas, we declined and will still be inboard - 8249.

We are 98% sure that we can do the 2017 cruise. I haven't looked to see how booked up it is though. I didn't want to torture myself if we couldn't go. Anyone have a heads up on how full the boat is yet?
