BrezQ Posted February 13, 2020 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2020 great ship, great ports!! So many things to consider!! Level of activity, ability, etc!! we Enjoy the port area in grand cayman, there's plenty to do at little cost, pool, beach etc!! If you go off to the right of the port, on the beach, there a place to rent Jet skis, our son and nephew did this, they had a blast!! If you walk up the beach area to the right of the beach, head up to Jacks'Shack, great food and fun!! Margaritaville is right there, and you can use their pool or head right to the beach! Roatan is great shopping, and fantasic beach area! Never did any excursions there. Cozumel we've only done a little exploring, a short guide tour and then shopping, cocktails!! Belize has some fantastic sights, I would book a carnival tour there, as it's Honduras (my opinion only) lol So many people we've cruised with have had so much fun in Belize, on excursions, rain forest tours and many others! We've been on the legend twice, had a blast both times, for sure an older ship, but we love the size! if you go to the port area of this site, there's a ton of threads on what to do, it depends on what you're looking for!! Have a blast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotTooCritical Posted February 13, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It's not an excursion, but if you're not afraid of heights I recommend riding the Magical Flying Chair in Roatan. It was hot on the way to the beach, but we had a breeze on the way back. Either way, it was cool checking out the scenery from on high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoW mAn Posted February 13, 2020 #8 Share Posted February 13, 2020 For Cozumel I recommend Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted February 14, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For suggestions on what to do in ports, you should visit the ports of call boards for your ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadmoney Posted February 14, 2020 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Roatan is a beautiful Island and private tours are pretty cheap. IMHO the beach area at the port is nothing special and you would be missing out not seeing the real Roatan. Check the Roatan board I'm sure you will find recommendations and pictures of this amazing island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this was in Grand Turk? Jack's Shack and Margaritaville are on at Grand Turk. In Cozumel, there is no Jack's Shack and there is no Margaritaville at Carnival's port. There is one at the RCL port (within walking distance of Carnival's port.) There may also be one in downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it'll take most of the day, so yah won't see much of Coz. as mentioned, Chankanaab Park also a great destination. In GC, Stingray City is an absolute MUST!!! (and sampling all the free Tortuga Rumcake displays). In Roatan, no excursion needed if yah like the beach. Ride the chairlift over + back. Belize, IMO, a ships excursion is a must. Nothing really to do at the port + I don't recommend wandering far alone. If you miss the Ruins at Tulum, take the boat ride up the Wallace River to the ruins in Belize. Lots of wildlife + won't break the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbysam Posted February 14, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Thank you for all your input. So many options to choose from, glad I have a while to decide :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idraconis Posted February 14, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 14, 2020 In Cozumel, Nachi-Cocom. Short cab ride to a beautiful beach. You can hang on the beach with chairs under Tiki style umbrellas Waiters serve cocktails that never empty. Huge pool and a hot tub next to the pool. Which is next to the bar where your bar tender pours lovely shots all day. And you're served lunch which is really good. $59 per person 16yr+ $45 for kids. Check it out on line. Enjoy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maraprince Posted February 14, 2020 #16 Share Posted February 14, 2020 How were the shows? Anything on board that we should not miss? Did you have a Cruise Critic Meet & Mingle Party on your sailing? Thanks! MARAPRINCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiorcruise Posted February 16, 2020 #18 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I agree with Stingray City in Grand Cayman. Excellent excursion. We have done it once (twice?) with Carnival and twice with Capt Marvin's. I highly recommend Capt Marvin's. There was a Margaritaville in Grand Cayman, don't know if it is still there or not. Not sure about Jacks Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
