Stingrays and Beach in one excursion, Carnival Cruise 8 hour window.

[Jgarriso]

I am trying to plan out the day at GC, Arriving on the Legend May 30th at 10am and departing at 6pm. new to cruising.

1st question to the group, do they ever open the gates early??

 

Main question, looking for advice. Our main goal for the day is 7-mile beach with a couple of hours to enjoy the water toys and beach. Is it possible to mix in stingray city tour and enjoy both? what would your advice be?

Not usually....you may arrive earlier than stated, but the times listed are pretty much what you'll get.

 

You should have ample time to do both....Do Stingray City 1st, then head to the beach. Just watch the traffic....it can move slowly on the way back to the ship..so leave ample time! You have to be ONBOARD 30 mins. prior to sailaway.
