Hello Fellow Cruisers,

Wondering if anyone has someone in Puerto Vallarta that they would recommend taking us around?

Looking to see some different areas and sights that we have not yet seen.  Would love to hear of any recommendations 

that you might have.

Hello fellow cruisers,

Wondering if anyone has someone in Puerto Vallarta that they would recommend taking us around.

Looking to see some different areas and sights that we haven't yet seen.  Would love to hear any

recommendations that you might have.  Thanks for sharing.

I read the article pertaining to the LRC game incident and it is not that the game is forbidden but there was a very large group on a ship that were playing the game but they were playing for money and there was a lot of money being exchanged and that part is what is forbidden it was the gambling part of it.

We sailed the Panorama in January and was offered an upgrade to an aft balcony on the 9th deck.  I was hesitant of taking the offer due to always reading about the soot issue in the aft.  We ended up taking it and had no issues with soot on our balcony and in the Havana area one day I noticed a few specks of soot but nothing that couldnt be just wiped away. Other than that, there was absolutely no issues with the soot.

Just returned back this week from the Mexican Riviera and Cabo was our last stop.  When you arrive you will find soooooooo many vendors selling the same tours we did inquire on the glass bottom boat tour from a few of the vendors and they all seemed to be the same cost of $25 for about a 45 minute tour.  You will have no problem getting on one once you arrive.

I too am very very disappointed about the change.  Not even being advised by Carnival but just happened to read an article last night about it.  And to my amazement I too was very shocked that the ships availability was very limited already.  I certainly did not book the 02MAY as well as a B2B sailing because of the ports I wanted to be on the inaugural sailing as I have a lot of personal memories of sailing with Costa.  I kept waiting and watching for the books to open and booked immediately when they opened up.  Maybe it could have been handled better by Carnival by at least letting those already booked that they were moving up the inaugural sailing by a week and giving us the option to change giving us the same cabin and some kind of price protection, but also being mindful that it is now a 7day. Yes, I will enjoy myself on what I have booked but just very disappointed that am no longer on what I originally booked as being the inaugural......Just a BUMMER!!!!!

We are actually booked on a B2B for the first 2 sailings and really excited to be on the inaugural sailing.

Thank you for your post.  Excited to be sailing on the Celebration in September.  Wondering in the MDR which formal night did they serve the Lobster, if it was the 1st or 2nd formal night?  Also, do you recall about the time they began disembarkation in Miami?

We just were there 2 weeks ago and my original plan was to go to Coral Beach but when we arrived at the port the driver suggested we go to Public Beach instead that it was a nicer beach.  Public Beach is located right next to the old Calico Jack's and shares the same beach and there is no entry fees.  There were several chairs and umbrellas to rent about $15 for 2 chairs and $20 including an umbrella there are nice restroom facilities closer to the parking lot area and there are several local vendors that are selling bbq plates, beer, and rum punch.  Beach and swimming were great, we had a wonderful day there.

Hello,  wondering if anyone has any current information on the Carnival excursion that they offered to

Rendezvous Caye?  It was a tour to the island and had amazing snorkeling.  I saw it not too long ago

on their web-site but it is now gone.  I have also contacted web support and they do not show it on their

end either. Any information would be helpful I will now have to go to Plan B if needed.

I highly recommend Bodden Tours I have used them twice in the past 5 years and will use them again this fall.  The last time, we hired a driver for the day and the main office was in contact with our driver to make sure that we were headed back to the ship.  They are very aware of the timing and will make sure that they get you back in plenty of time.  Hope this helps for your planning.

Hello, my son just returned from a Carnival Cruise and booked the Waterfalls Tour however we booked through Iguana Mama Tours and not through Carnival. But as far as the falls go at the time the water level was low so they were not offering the 27 Waterfalls and they did 12 falls. I believe Carnival only offers the bottom 7 falls. They did say the falls were a highlight of their tour. If you do not feel comfortable jumping you do have the option of walking down. I hope this helps and let me know if I can help with any other questions...Have Fun !!!

Hello, my son and his girl friend just returned from a cruise and I booked the Waterfall Tours through Iguana Mama Tours. I had emailed them and they responded promptly with all the details that I needed and meeting instructions were very clear. When they returned back from their cruise they said that the tour was the highlight of their cruise. They had 2 guides Raul and Bright that made their tour so much fun and would highly recommend Iguana Mama Tours. We are going in a couple of weeks and will be booking through them. Hope this helps.

Hello, Looking for anybody that might have some recent feedback if the water level is high enough to enjoy doing the 27 waterfalls? I heard that it was low right now and may not be as enjoyable and to just do the 12 waterfalls. Will be traveling there in 2 weeks and really was looking to experience all 27. Any feedback would be appreciated.
