I did get to meet Pat and his wife from here on the ship so that was pretty cool. :D

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

Taking this same cruise in Dec staying in Cabin U87 Cat 12, any recommendations about the Ship, Ports, anything at all would be great.

We have stayed in KeyWest, so considering Bar Crawl, than in Cozumel thinking about doing the 4 Wheeling tour

Staying at the Ramada in Hollywood,FLA 4 day prior to cruise

Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for posting wonderful pictures....

Thanks for sharing. My grandkids are looking forward to the slides - do you know if they were open the first day of sailing?

[JeanneW1956]

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

Stosh we didn't have much time in Key West, the disembark there was later then scheduled so by the time we got off the ship and dropped off in town by the trolley we only had about 3 hours so we got trolley tix and went to the Hemingway house. 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!!

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

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!

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.

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?

[stosh]

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

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

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!

[kapeavey]

Cancel my prior question........I was on the Inspiration NOT the Imagination. Oops!

Thanks for your reply and the photos - I was out of town and just saw the post today!
