Stone Island in Mazatlan is a great choice for a do-it-yourself excursion. There is a water taxi right next to the cruise terminal that they would take. It is a 3-5 minute water taxi ride then they can either walk down the beach or take a Pulmonia (Mazatlan's version of an open air taxi) to a specific location. Our favorite is Lety's. They will set you up with loungers, umbrellas at no charge (just the cost of your food & beverages) The ocean there is very mild so it's the best place to swim in the ocean. We go to Mazatlan almost every year and Stone Island and Lety's is always on the agenda for us.

I like the shorts that look like they're made out of an old school bandana!

We toured with him on the Horizon and enjoyed it. He was fun and very informative.

Jimmy Kimmel's sister is a stand-up comedian? Is she any good?

yep it's open. We took our swim suits and changed in the restrooms in the Havana area and hung out by the pool until cabins were ready. Best way to start a cruise in my opinion.

for me the answer is always Havana! (Vista Class Havana)

Duck bowling is a lot of fun!

It is totally worth it once you get there. We are lucky to have Bandon Dunes in our "backyard" and by the time my son was 12 he had played every course there through junior golf!

was on the Horizon in August and Bonaire is my new favorite island. We did a snorkel trip on the Sea Cow which was fantastic.

Did the 8-night Southern on the Horizon in August and loved it. Aruba and Bonaire were my favorites. Both are newer/large ships with lots to keep teenagers busy but I would go with the extra day and the southern itinerary.

We had an extended aft on deck 8 and loved it. Thought next time deck9 would be better because they have a little more shade. did not have any noise issues.

Bonaire is my favorite. We had a short day there back in August. I loved it so much I want to go for a land vacation sometime.

I disagree- I never play slots and I bet minimum at table games and my bets are always consistent. My husband plays the majority of the time at the slots but when at the tables does mix up his bets. He hasn't received any offers but I get them all the time.....and we have only cruised Carnival twice.

We sailed the Horizon in August. both my husband and I gambled each night. He won, I lost (not big maybe $400) and I get casino offers all the time. Free inside cabins, or $1,070 off rate plus $1500 onboard credit and DOU when playing. Plus all the Australia offers. We do not have anything else booked so maybe that is it.

We had late morning service on the Horizon and we asked the Steward to put our ice bucket in the fridge and it lasted all day and well into the night. It was a great solution.
