Carnival Pride Storm Video Footage - November 17, 2019 - Delayed Journeys Cruise - ParoDeeJay


Carnival Pride Storm Video Footage - November 17, 2019 - Delayed Journeys Cruise - ParoDeeJay

Here's some storm footage recorded aboard the Carnival Pride on November 17, 2019 during our delayed return to Baltimore. A nor'easter off the North Carolina coast had produced 40-60 mph winds and 20 foot waves, so we had to reduce speed to 12 knots and head straight through the storm to reach the Chesapeake Bay. We received messages from Travelling With Bruce, AccuWeather, and the Weather Channel, asking if we could provide video for news stories, and here's a quick compilation of what we recorded that day. We'll be kicking off our daily cruise vlogs from that 14-day Journeys cruise on December 2, 2019... so be on the lookout for those videos as well!
