This was our first cruise in 10 years so we took all our excursions through Carnival. We were not disappointed. In Cozumel we saw the Mayan Ruins in Tulum. It was very hot, but worth the experience. In the Grand Caymans we took the tour that goes to the Turtle Farm, Hell and Stingray City. Actually Hell was really not anything except a laugh from friends that got postcards addressed from there, but that was really all there was to it. The turtle farm was interesting.....but.....a pretty quick trip. Stingray City is a must. There were a lot of boats there, and the stingrays weren't too hungry, but it was such a neat experience to have them swim by you and brush up against you. We are not swimmers so we didn't really want to be in actually swimming with the stingrays. What we did was just right for us. In Jamaica we went to Brimmer Hall Estates and Dunns River Falls. This was one tour. Brimmer Hall is a working plantation and as a teacher I really enjoyed seeing how many different things are grown. There were only 8 people on this tour so we got a lot of individual attention. Dunns River Falls is a hoot. We wore our water shoes and never felt like we would slip. It was a unforgettable experience. As you can probably tell we really had a great time.
