Carnival Paradise in Oct 2003

We are taking our kids (22 & 19) on our first real travel vacation. TWe are all very excited. We will be cruising on the Paradise on October 5 from Miami. If any past cruisers have insight on shore excursions, on-board activities, etc. I would greatly appreciate the input. I read from one person to book our shore excursions through cruiseone.com as they are cheaper. If anyone has done this, please let me know how this worked out for you.

I would also love to hear from anyone who will be cruising with us, especially if you are young adults or are traveling with your children who are about this age. (22-year-old male & 19-year-old female).

Thanks!

Hello there, My wife and I will also be on this cruise with you. Glad to find someone else on the ship with us here on this site. Really the only thing that we have planned for excursions so far is the Stingray Tour in Cozumel that we booked through captainmarvins.com. I think at Cozumel we will probably go to one of the beaches either Chankanaab, Play Sol, or Mr Sanchos for part of the day and then shop some in the afternoon. Haven't really decided on Belize and Roatan yet, might just go to a beach in Roatan and maybe do the cave tubing in Belize. I will email you a link to another message board that we have started with about 15 other people who are also on this cruise with us discussing their plans and where we will all meet once on board if you are interested in joing our group. Also a couple of them have been on the Paradise before. Good to hear from you.

Later,
Stingray
