DarthGrady Posted September 24, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for posting, great pictures! We just came off a cruise on Inspiration, I got alot of similar shots of the two ships at Cozumel. Its interesting to see the view from the "other ship".:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna - dsw Posted September 24, 2008 #10 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for sharing. My grandkids are looking forward to the slides - do you know if they were open the first day of sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanneW1956 Posted September 24, 2008 Author #11 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Donna I didn't notice if it was open or not, I went up there only once and to be honest I don't remember what day that was! I do know that it seemed awful quiet, so much so that I forgot it was even there. We saw very few children on board. What few we saw were in strollers and maybe a handful in the 6-10 age range. After seeing many questions on here regarding the cabin and bathroom I took a few pics that would answer some questions. We were on Empress deck stateroom E135 http://www.flickr.com/photos/29962455@N08/sets/72157607474355725/detail/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we caught the trolley back there was just enough time to be back at the pickup point by 1:15. 4 people from my group did the clear kayak and snorkle excursion and loved it. A couple others did one of the all inclusive beach clubs and 6 of us rented a van to explore. One tip for Cozumel would be to have lunch early and be ready to get off earlier then 1, according to staff they routinely arrive by noon (we did) but they don't advertise it just in case something happens to slow the ship down.:rolleyes: I'll write more in my review so stay tuned!!

MAO Posted September 24, 2008 #13 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks for sharing! The beach that you went to in Cozumel looked an aweful lot like Paradise beach:confused: Did they change their name, is it right next to it or am I completely mistaken? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks It's different then Paradise Beach whether or not it was right beside it I don't know because that's as far as we went but I did notice that there seemed to be 2-3 beach club/resorts back to back sharing the same beach view.

I just found this map and it does appear that Carlos & Charlies is in fact beside Paradise Beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattsCruisingDad Posted September 25, 2008 #16 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Great pictures! We're on the 11/3 cruise. I saw you were at the Carlos n Charlies Beach Club. Do you need any reservation there? What kind of admission charge is there? I've been trying to find a website for them, and I just keep finding information about the website coming soon.

trvlgrl422 Posted September 25, 2008 #17 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you had a good time. I'm taking a group of first time cruisers on the three day Imagination. It sounds like I picked the right ship. I've always loved Carnival's food and entertainment. How were they on this ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stosh Posted September 25, 2008 #18 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Thanks for the info, I am going to just relax in key West, But in Cozumel, I am thinking of doing the 4 wheeler jungle adventure Thanks for your posts stosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAO Posted September 26, 2008 #19 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Jeanne, thanks for clearing that up for me, I got alittle confused:o Sounds like you had a great time and I'm sure now you will be hooked on cruiseing like the rest of us:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapeavey Posted October 1, 2008 #20 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Was Robin on the ship? He is one of the cruise director's staff. He was only on the ship a few months/weeks when we sailed the Inspiration in August, but he was great! He was much more personable and had much more fun than Risa Barnes. I wonder if he's moved on to a bigger and better ship yet, or if he's CD already. He's got my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
