  1. Thank you jbrinkm. I will look into those two places.
  2. We are looking for recommendations for things to do in Grand Cayman that our 2 year old and 4 year old granddaughters would enjoy. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
  3. We are looking for recommendations for things to do in Cozumel that our 2 year old and 4 year old granddaughters would enjoy. I have read to do one of the beach clubs but don't want to be in a party atmosphere with them all day. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Sea turtle excursion was amazing. We did it Wednesday, September 28, 2022. We walked to the end of the pier and found our guide and signed in with our name and email and gave him our ticket. His name was Nacho and his helper was William. They were great. We waited 10 minutes to leave. Walked to and loaded an open air bus. Nacho told us what to expect during the tour. He also told us he could not guarantee that we would find a live baby sea turtle but the likelihood was good. We drove about 20-30 minutes to the beach with Nacho explaining things to us as we drove. We got to the beach and they gave us gloves. I am allergic to latex so I took my own. They explained how to dig for the turtles. We were split into groups of 6. We had a big umbrella that shaded the spot we were digging in. We started digging and the sand kept caving in from the sides. We dug for about 15 minutes and asked the biologist to come check ours. We were digging a couple inches in the wrong direction. So we started moved to the correct spot and immediately started finding hatched eggs, shells, and then we found our turtle! It was a white albino sea turtle! There is a chance of one in a million to find an albino sea turtle. He was the cutest thing. Flapping his arms immediately. He was approximately 2 days old according to the biologist. They can last 2-4 days in the hole. We put sand in the bucket and placed him in the bucket. We named him James because the person who was digging at the time he was found was James. We all took pictures with James. The biologist took him so that others could get pictures with him. We ended up finding about 120 shells and unhatched eggs. The smell was terrible. Flies started swarming the eggs. We were told to put the eggs in a pile of 10 so that the biologist could easily count how many were found. The biologist was going to keep James until that evening so that he could flap his arms to walk to the ocean when it was darker out and they would have better chance of survival. We were given a cold bottle of water. In all our busload found 2 regular colored green sea turtles and our albino turtle. It was so awesome to hold these precious babies and know that we were trying to help them survive. We loaded back on the bus and went to a beach for lunch. We had a chance to shower off and get the sand off of us. We sat at the restaurant and ordered food and drinks. The food was good and drinks were cold. There were lots of vendors who came by to sell us their trinkets and such. We also had the opportunity to purchase the picture that was taken of us with James. We then had time to hang on the beach. We used the hammocks to relax and cool off. Once that was over (about an hour and a half) we loaded the bus back to the ship. We had time to shop a little once back at port and take a few pictures. I would definitely recommend this tour! It was a once in a lifetime experience. It was amazing. Nacho and William were awesome tour guides! I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone!

  6. I did the same thing last year and was hoping to do that this year as well.
  7. We will be on the Carnival Breeze at the end of this month. I was on the Carnival Magic last September. I loved the guava passion fruit juice they had for breakfast in the buffet. Anyone cruised the Breeze lately know if they have this juice with the other juices that are available (with the apple juice, orange juice)? I am so excited to be on this girls trip!!!!!! Thanks, in advance, for the information.
  8. Do you know if there is a way to request this possibly?
  9. We will be on the Carnival Breeze at the end of September. We went on a Celebrity cruise in January and had the best time at the Silent Disco. Just curious if Carnival has a silent disco.
  10. We will be sailing on the Carnival Breeze on 9/26-10/1. There will be 3 ladies staying in this room. I am sure we will need more than 2 outlets to plug things into. I bought a power supply in 2019 and I don't know if it will work on Carnival. It did not work on Celebrity Equinox in January but did work on the Disney Fantasy. Does anyone have a photo of the desk area in an Deluxe Oceanview stateroom so that I could see what the plug in looks like? I have attached a picture of what I bought.
  11. Hello! We would like to do a beach day when we port in Progresso in September this year. We will be on the Carnival Breeze. Several different questions about Progresso Beach. I have watched videos on how to get to the beach from the cruise port. Anyone that has been there recently (post COVID shutdown) know if you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach? If so, do you know how much it is? Do vendors take US dollars? Is this something that can be done prior to us being on the cruise? Also, has anyone had a Massage by Maria on the beach recently? Thoughts and suggestions. What do you wear? Is there a place to change clothes? One more thing - where do you recommend for us to get lunch while on the beach?
