We did the Jaguar Paw Jungle Buggy excursion with a large group July 2017 and everyone enjoyed this experience. Our group included 4 families with children ranging in age 7-20, the boys especially enjoyed the fact that is rained and was very muddy. The bad of the mud was that some of the buggy's motors were getting flooded.

I would recommend this excursion.

Favorites

1st- 80's Pop to the Max & Flick (Movie stuff} are not to miss great singing to movies and videos

A close 2nd is America Rocks get there early for the pre-show

Motor City (think Motown) was okay they were having technical difficulties so we didn't get the whole show

We didn't see the other shows, all shows have improved 100% and the crew is great and love to interact with the guest

Were booking a cruise on the Triumph, any advice on cabin location or things to do

It's on the after dinner menu, but it wasn't listed the first two nights.

I would ask for it because they can make it for you everynight

What is tropical espresso? Sounds yummy

Tropical espresso

cocktail glass filled with ice and a mixture of coconut rum, Kahlua and simple syrup.

your waiter will have a cup of espresso to mix in, then top with whipped cream.

It was the highlight of dinner every night once I tried it. I would order one to go because they only make it in the MDR;)

In the MDR Tropical espresso, you can only get it there......

Alchemy Bar you can get anything, my new favorite is a French Martini

On lido the Rum Runner drinks were perfect.

What identification do you bring with you in port????

Do you need your passport?

The shirts are not offensive...

We have about 50 of us in the group and we want to get together after muster to take a group picture and I don't want to rush....

Thanks for the help, I will wear the shirt to dinner, hey they will have to throw out all 50 of us...;plol

How strict is the MDR on the first night???

We have group t-shirts and want to wear them the first night...I figured it's easier than waiting on luggage, etc....Plus we have the early dinning time:cool:

A reusable water bottle to fill up to use around the ship and at ports (A small cooler would also be another great idea!).

Power strip, I don't know if this is frowned upon or not? Some of the older ships I have been on have one outlet in the whole room!

A watch, it's great to keep track of time without cell phones, especially when at the beach.

Baggies (to take some sand home :-) )

My own soft blanket

A sweatshirt! I always freeze everywhere on the ship!

A wristlet or clutch (to keep your cruise card, phone/camera, chapstick)

A small bag to take to port/the beach or even around the ship to put your book and goodies in

Snacks! I love to snack, especially while on the beach, this will save you a ton of money!

Cash, cash, cash, I never bring enough cash, and then you get in a pinch when in a taxi or at port.

Great ideas... I'm starting packing today. We leave Sunday:D

Only thing we might get is a Polo shirt from a different island.

 

When I was teaching (now retired) I used to get local coins for the middle school special ed kids I taught (had less than a dozen) so a dollars worth of coins was what I'd bring them. I would show bills and the square dimes Nassau had were loved by them. I'd just go to a local bank to get them.

Thanks for that idea, I'm a librarian and always start the year sharing my summer adventures...The kids will like to see the coins:)

We buy bags of coffee beans

Just depends what you like

We gave up buying dust collectors many years ago ;)

Coffee sounds good, I might look for some local ones

The last time I was in Cozumel I bought a variety of rum cakes and had one a week when I got home, calling it Rum Cake Wednesday, a great reminder of a great port of call

I want to do this...I love the flavored rums and would enjoy eating my vacation for a week lol

We will be visiting Mahogany Bay, Belize and Cozumel next week....I'm looking for suggestions to purchase local products while in port.

What is you favorite item to take home as a souvenir ??;)

Do you have any funtimes that you count post

We want to go to Little French Key, but are worried about getting to the tour guides since you have to walk from Mahogany Bay....

I would like any tips or advice?

Did you feel safe?

Should we stay in the Carnival Mahogany Bay area?

I will probably not get the premium WiFi since its not any faster, they only need to access snap chat and a few other apps.

We will try the hub to communicate...

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Were sailing on the dream in two weeks, I have two teenagers that need WiFi

1} How does the Carnival Hub work & do you need WiFi to use it?

2}Is the premium WiFi package worth the price?

3} Has anyone only put cash on their sail and sign card and can you limit use for the teenagers?

Thanks for any help;)

I was looking for Fun Times for the Carnival Dream since the Dry Dock....I can only find the ones before.

Any pictures will help?:cool:

Can anyone post the Fun Times for Carnival Dream?

We are going to Cozumel, Belize and Mahogany Bay....

I've seen some, but none with these ports;)

We went to Royal Palms Beach Club and reserved a cabana 4 years ago. I can get crowded , but is beautiful place to swim.

I made a reservation for last years cruise, but had to cancel because of the bad weather. I had not issues.

I wanted to include the link

I hope this helps, I will be going on this excursion in July

We went to Doctors Cave Beach Feb 2016 and had a great time. We took a van with a group of 13. We had front row chairs, enjoyed the drinks and ate at the restaurant. The crowd grew as the day went on....
