Martini Mom Posted August 8, 2015 Author #231 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Can you tell me how long the trip from the port to LFK is? Also, is it a straight shot or are there a lot of curves? Someone in our group deals with car sickness so I try to make sure before we commit to something but this has definitely piqued my interest! Sorry, I just realized that I didn't respond to your question earlier. It's a very short, straight ride over. I get sea sick if it's choppy, but this was a breeze.

Frank12 Posted August 9, 2015 #232 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Awesome review. Great photos! We were not that fond of the American Table menu either. Agree with your assessment. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pghsteelerfan Posted August 9, 2015 #235 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I've been following along and enjoying your review but wanted to let you finish before commenting since I don't have any valid questions. :) I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed it and you got some beautiful pictures during your cruise. We did a western Caribbean on Liberty last year that ended up basically being the same itinerary. We were also supposed to stop in Grand Cayman but we missed due to the weather and poor tendering conditions. Since last year was our first time in Roatan, we did a private tour of the island then some beach time, but I'm definitely sold on LFK next time we get there - that looks like such a peaceful and fun way to spend a day in paradise. We also went to Nachi Cocum and really liked it and took advantage of the unlimited drinks and we loved the food and I'd go back for that alone. Thank you for taking the time to do a review of your cruise, again, I really enjoyed following along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasvegascruising Posted August 9, 2015 #236 Share Posted August 9, 2015 WOW...Martini Mom this is one of the best reviews I have ever read and the pictures are perfect. I for sure know about "the look" and if I book the cave tubing, I am going to get that look. You have convinced me to search for something else to do in Belize(our first time will be in Jan. 2016). Any suggestions from anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasvegascruising Posted August 9, 2015 #237 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Martini Mom, One other question, your opinion of the cheers package on Carnival? What would make it worth the cost? If you didn't purchase a wine package, would it be a good value just to get glasses of wine and all the other great drinks you had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katnbrianfun Posted August 10, 2015 #238 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thanks for reading it :). Little French Key is privately owned, so you buy directly from them. Carnival used to partner with them, but not anymore. Carnival's new excursion isn't to the same place, so the only way to go to LFK is through LFK. OMG I can't thank you enough for your awesome review ! We are sold on LFK and am getting ready to email them with our reservation for Feb 2016. I wonder I don't eat meat or fish or drink alcohol hopefully they will work with me 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't purchase a wine package, would it be a good value just to get glasses of wine and all the other great drinks you had? Thanks so much! :) I hear the snorkeling tours are amazing. Maybe we'll do something like that next time. We thought we'd purchase the Cheers Package, but when we looked at the prices (before we sailed), we decided against it. We would be in port all day for 3 days (so no drinking all day on the ship), you can't purchase Cheers on the first day in Texas (so no drinking for a 4th day of 7), we brought 2 bottles of wine onboard, and we planned on drinking at the Alchemy Bar (and those drinks cost more than the Cheers drinks allow). We did't plan on getting the wine package, but it was a good deal, so we went with it. It was nice to have a drink when we wanted it and not have to go to a bar to get one. We usually sit by the pool and get a bucket of beer or a pitcher of something (we ended up not doing it this time though). Those items aren't allowed on Cheers either. It just didn't seem like Cheers would fit our needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder I don't eat meat or fish or drink alcohol hopefully they will work with me 😛 Yay!Thanks for reading it :) They had some great veggie options like yucca chips and salsa as well as beets. I would email them and ask about it. They seemed very open to customizing everyone's lunch plates. If you don't eat meat, fish or drink alcohol, I would buy the basic package then get drinks and food a la carte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Mom Posted August 10, 2015 Author #243 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Some random pics that didn't really fit anywhere in my review ;) Gel clings on my mirror for Independence Day The piano bar. We only stayed for a couple songs one night. Pulling into Roatan, as seen from our balcony. You can see the chair lift to Mahongany Bay Beach.

Little French Key mangroves Used mattresses being offloaded in Roatan This air hockey table was really fun! While playing, all of the sudden it would release a ton of small pucks.
