Cruise with brother, need suggestions...

[w0312447]

My brother and I are 10 years apart, and he is always jealous that he never gets to go anywhere, so I've decided to take him on a cruise. Just me and him. The only problem is that he gets impatient very easy and complains a lot. He was super excited to go to Six Flags over GA, but complained the whole time about heat and long lines. I can't do much about hi complaining, but I want to make this as fun as possible for him.

 

That being said, there is no way we are just going to wander around the beaches and shops. I will have have one very unhappy 12 yr old. He fancies himself a thrill seeker, but I'm a little skeptical about that too, but I don't want to rule out the thrill factor.

 

We're booked on the Carnival Fantasy leaving from New Orleans in Feb 09, to Cozumel and Progresso (I'll post this there as well). I just need advice on excursions. I want to pre book everything. It's our first cruise and I'm not very good at watching the clock, so we are taking no chances. I want to know YOUR favorite excursions for these ports (especially if you traveled with a 12 yr old boy)

 

Thanks in advance for the info.

Our son was the same age his first cruise. We did the dolphin swim and he loved it. He also liked camp carnival more than being with us.
