Signing up for Excursions

[b]FOR INFORMATION ONLY *** Some of this information concerns previous cruises... be sure and scroll down to the area with the most recent dates![/b]

I went on the site today and I saw where the excursions have now been posted. You do NOT have to sign up for these if you don't want to. There is PLENTY to do around town, on the beach, and on the ship. Excursions are GREAT... but not mandatory for enjoying the trip!

To view them, go to www.carnival.com and register -- you will need your booking number, if you don't have it let me know -- and then you can go in and view what is going to be available for this cruise AND how much each of them cost. It is good to sign up early BUT they will also allow you to sign up on the ship (but be prepared to wait in line).

Becky, I am so excited that I can hardly stand it. I know how I get but this is coming too early,I will be exhausted by the time the cruise happends. I am going to give my friend Sue till tomorrow for an answer as to whether or not she can go. She is a neat gal and loads of fun. Will let you know as soon as I do. Many plans to make as soon as I know how many are going in my party. Defintely, my mom and myself are for sure. Need to get a room at the Hilton in Galveston,buy our air fare and figure out what will fit. Sorta afraid everything is goin be tooo big or tooo small. Nice problelm. I also need to figure out how to get us to Galveston from the airport. Will e-mail Brady tomorrow to see if he has that information. Maybe we'll fly into Hobby instead of Bush.I'll be so happy when all this switching is over and everything is confirmed and ready to go. I'll be seeing you in my dreams everynite till we leave. LOL Dottie ps need to order ouir shirts.

Hi,

I am flying into Houston on Friday afternoon around 3:45 - 4 pm. Bad time for traffic knowing my luck. I am hoping that there are hotel vans or general transportation vans to Galveston. If you hear anything from Brady, please let us know via this website. Thanks

Melissa -- Do you already know which hotel you are staying in? That might be a good point to ask when making arrangements.

I will also let you know what Brady says.

Any body been tot hese two ports before? Have any suggestions on excursions?

One of the things about the excursion list at the Carnival website, you can sort by particular interests. MANY of the excursions are "party" trips... there ARE some really great ones.

Some of the Excursions which involve swimming say to bring your suit and a towel. Does the ship supply towels? Or do we bring our own?

Ship supplies towels... bunches of them. AND they do "towel" sculptures everywhere... even in your cabin.

I signed up last night for 2 excursions but when we clicked on it to print it went back to the homepage and we could not get the info back I still can't find it so I have just emailed Carnival.

Okay... Not sure what that was about, but emailing them should get you an answer.. and if NOT, you can contact Brady at bcollins@mail.vacationstogo.com

I emailed Brady and he said he doesn't have control of the excursions so hopefully they can help me at carnival

Hi Alisa, When I printed my e-docs, boarding pass, etc., the excursion I had just signed up for was included in the documentation. Try reprinting yours and see if they are included.

Christine and I will be doing the Mayan Ruins excursion by horseback on Monday. We can't wait!!!

Hi yes found that out thanks they do show up.

We are booked on the Beach Buggy & Snorkel at Punta Sur on Monday and on Tuesday the Mayan Ruins and Beach break Combo.

We've rented a car for the day in Cozumel - going to do our own thing and find a few places to snorkel. I've been to Cozumel many times, but always took the ferry across to the mainland. This time we are going to explore the island. A car is going to be better for us - you should have seen us (two big people) on a motor scooter in Key West a few years back. It was a funny picture.

See ya'll soon!
