Re: 1ST time cruising (at all) Carnival.Liberty.Western Carribean Oct 20 ANY TIPS????Hello and Welcome to Cruise Addicts! I have some tips for some of your cruise ports. First let me say that in MOST ports you can find state licensed taxi stands at the port that will offer you flat rates to the most popular places (shopping, sites, ect). They will also offer you tours as well for a posted price. This can save you allot of money and make your trip more memorable. I have done this all over the Caribbean.Cozumel - We take a taxi from the Pier to Downtown and walk around and shop, eat and drink. One of our favorite places is a Cruise Addicts favorite. Pancho's Backyard - (Reviews/Photos) Me and my wife visited this on our last cruise together and we loved it. We actually took the cab directly to this (drop you off right in front). Then we shopped alittle before returning to the ship.Belize I would definately book a ship sponsored TOUR, Don't go solo here.Grand Cayman - Try an island tour that includes all of the sites like HELL, Turtle Farm, etc. Jimmy Buffets restraunt is also very nice. You can even see all of the offshore banks!! This is the place. Drinks onboard can be very expensive along with ship photos so watch your budget. You can check your expense account via kiosks and via your cabin tv so you know how much your spending and keep yourself within your budget. Carnival has a FAQ's section that is also very good. As stated your family can contact Carnival in an emergency. You can also use your rooms phone and cell phone (on some ships) for a large fee.Have fun!
