jimcald Posted April 19, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Just off the Elation and she looks very different then the Inspiration did. The color schemes are very different and (IMHO) much more elegant then Inspiration was. Jim...

clueless Posted April 20, 2004 #8 Share Posted April 20, 2004 LoriTX, Can you tell me what the prices for shore excursions was like? On the Carnival site it just rates them by one, two, or three dollar signs. Why doesn't Carnival let you book and pay for shore excursions online?

One question, I was able to read page 2, 3 and 4 well, but page 1 was too blurry. Could you try and scan it again?

Stimack Posted April 21, 2004 #18 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Quick Question on the listing of shore excursions. We are going to be going on the Elation this Sunday (Can't Wait!) and we really wanted to do the Mayan Ruins of Tulum from Cozumel, was one of the reasons we booked this cruise! I do not see it listed in the shore excursions!! Anyone know if this is offered? On the Carnival website it is listed for the shore excursions. Thanks for any help!
