Narrative:
Departed aboard ship which had been previously meled down to a single operable pressure controller. While transitioning through 10;000 feet we received a cabin altitude warning. Altitude hold was initiated as I verified that indeed; the cabin was climbing with the airplane. An amended cruise altitude of 10;000 feet was requested. Memory items were reviewed. At this point; I took over flying duties and radio; allowing the first officer to focus on QRH checklist. We evaluated the threat; walked through the checklist together; observed fuel remaining. I elected to proceed to [destination] at 10;000 feet; unpressurized; as the safest most practical course for the brief time enroute.first officer resumed flying duties. Anticipating special altitude handling on the arrival; I [advised] ATC who allowed us a very gradual descent. Flight attendants were 4-dinged and advised of our status and reassured that the flight would proceed normally except for some minor pressure changes and noise at the door seals. Maintenance was notified and a logbook entry was made. Flight landed uneventfully and taxied to the gate. Blocked in 5 minutes early. Maintenance was briefed. Dispatch was phoned.
