[torchd]

February 2012 cannot come fast enough. Last weekend booked my first ever cruise and I cannot wait to go!

 

Cruisng on Carnival Destiny.. Leaving Miami and going to Grand Turks, Half Moon Cay and Nassau

 

I cannot wait to snorkel!

 

Any good tips?

Welcome to Cruise Critic!

 

For tips, I would go to the Carnival board, here:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215

 

You will learn lots about Carnival, your ship and your cruise.

 

I would go to the Ports board, here:

 

http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=587

 

and learn what there is to do on the islands you stop at.

 

Lastly, Half Moon Cay (HMC for short) is a Private Island, which has it's own board, here:

Go there and find out why we love HMC so much.

Go to roll call board, see if there is one started for your ship and sailing, if not start one. You will get to chat with other cc's that will be on your cruise.

 

Have a Great time researching.

Thanks guys for all the help.. I've been all over this board so far and made some posts.. Man I really hope that Nassau will not have more than 2 ships at port.......

 

And made a Roll Call thread ;)

Did that cruise in June 2011. It was great - did the Horse Back riding land & sea in Grand Turk Island with the 2 grandkids - we loved it - The horses galloped in the ocean. Did parasailing in HMC & Atlantis in Nassau. Didn't do snorkeling - next time. That was my favorite cruise. I'm going on NCL this time in Feb. 2012. I really like Carnival but I think I'll like NCL too!! Happy Sailing!!
