Turnereaux Posted April 12, 2015 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2015 We are going on Carnival Dream in July. I am trying to decide on excursions but would love to see a map of the port before we book excursions. Does anyone know if Carnival makes those available or where they can be found? I know Royal Caribbean has maps (or at least they did a couple of years ago) on their website. We are going to Mahogany Bay, Belize, and Cozumel. Thanks!

CruiserBruce Posted April 12, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Try Google Maps. I use them all the time to plan travel. You can download on phone, tablet or laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zqvol Posted April 13, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2015 BTW Mahogany Bay is a Carnival owned and run port stuck on the island of Roatan. Grab a map of the whole island and get away from Mahogany Bay for a better experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted April 13, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 13, 2015 and the detail on googlemaps isn't obliterated by locations of ship's "preferred shopping partners" :) JB :) Exactly what was going through my mind. I go to Google maps and can zoom in with as much detail as I want for printing. If I find a guidebook that I like (I'll check out some from the local library), I might buy the latest edition, especially if it has some good maps (usually a book that covers all the ports we're going to), to take with.

And I own A LOT of travel guidebooks. There are some books on cruising, but perhaps I haven't found the right one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FlyerTalker Posted April 13, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Another thought is to use Google Earth for birds-eye view of the terrain. Maps don't give you a feel for the elevations, nor for the extent of development. Combine the two and you can get a good feel for what you'll find.

tpbf Posted April 14, 2015 #10 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Not available for all ports, but very helpful for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruise companies do not make maps to scale, only for promotion of the stores with which they have agreements. Google maps of ports, and Google "map of XXX port" to compare the two.
