| Exotic Western Caribbean cruise anyone? I just booked a western caribbean cruise for my 5th wedding anniversary. We are going next month! I can't wait. Has anyone gone on this cruise? the ports are Port Canaveral, Cozumel Mexico, Belize, Costa Maya Mexico and Nassau Bahamas. We like to do water excursions can anyone point us to a good one? I am really sad about not being able to take Bobby with me, I have never been away from him more than a few days. But we are taking him to the yorkie camp and he really loves it there and the couple who run it take care of him like he is one of their own. Bon Voyage! |

| We are going on Carnival. I prefer Royal Caribbean but Carnival was half the price. I have cruised with both before. |

| I've been on a western carribbean cruise, but not all of those ports exactly. I think they change them up year to year. I think (?) I went Royal Carribbean for that cruise. I loved Port Caneveral and Cozumel-we did a day trip outside of Cozumel and went to Te Kal (?) and explored the Mayan ruins there, it was amazing, and took great pictures! Nassau I could honestly take or leave, personally-so I'd take it as a beach/snorkel day and just hang out. The shopping is really tourist-trappy and the people MOBBED us trying to "give" us things like handmade bracelets and T-shirts right when we stepped off the ship-and then tried to charge us $ for it. What line are you going? When are you making the trip? Where do you sail from?

| Have done Western Caribbean on Royal Caribbean the stops were different except for Cozumel. My kid and her friends a group of 20 year olds rented 4 x 4 and drove around they saw places we did not even see. Nassau you can do with out the ship excursions not worth it just take the $6 ferry return to Paradise Island and check out the grand hotel, the grounds, the aquarium which is free and the beach. We just got back from Sicily, Greece and Turkey and that was an amazing cruise. We love cruising but have only done RC.

| I always wondered the difference between Carnival and RCCL. Please let me know Bobbieyorkie why you like RCCL better than Carnival which I haven't tried but hear the food is better than RCCL.

I have been on Carnival a total of 4 times, and the first few it was fine (I was a teen), but we went for our honeymoon-my husband's first cruise-and it was a nightmare. They messed up big time (long story), but to sum it up they wouldn't let ANYONE on board until after midnight, so we were waiting in line for HOURS, there was a mob scene of passengers outside, and they brought in paramedics to help the people who were fainting from standing so long in the heat, and all Carnival did was fill dixie cups with water and passed them through the bars of the gate on the pier. We finally got to our room after 2:30 AM. We got a credit of $50 total ($25 each) for the "dinner" we had to buy on our own in San Juan for our trouble not being able to get on the ship on time. Then the propulsion was screwed up on the ship, so our time at each port was shortened, and we missed some of the shore tours we had signed up for-they only refunded us 10% of what we paid for the tours! THEN the scenery for one of the vegas-style shows broke (big surprise) and we didn't get to see that after dinner. This was our HONEYMOON and they didn't do anything besides an extra "captain's cocktail hour" for the passengers to make it up to us! I will not be cruising Carnival again!

| There were 2 options for the western. This one included Belize and left out jamaica, since we already went there we decided we would go for Belize. I am sorry you didnt have to much fun on yours, but hey casino and sitting doesnt sound that bad |

| I must say we love cruising Royal Caribbean, the ships are awesome and have not had a bad experience yet. Looking forward to the new ship Oasis of the Seas.
