Carnival Cruise 8 Days
Destination List
✈️ City/Country 1: Amber Cove, Dominican Republic
✨ Pros: Amazing food, amazing people!!
👀 Cons: Once off the port you have to travel to the beach. VERY HUMID!
🗺️ Tips: We brought our book bag with us for extra shoes, portable chargers, sunscreen, water bottle. If you decided to do an excursion they will NOT allow you to bring your book bags for specific things (we went zip lining &horse back riding) I had a cross body purse which they allowed while I did both.
Destination List
✈️ City/Country 2: San Juan, Puerto Rico
✨ Pros: Amazing food!!! Try cheese fondue (like Queso different consistency)
👀 Cons: Same as ^^^ once off the port you have to travel to the beach which is around 20min. Very Hot!
🗺️ Tips: We brought our book bag every time we left the boat! We bought coca-Cola while off ship and snacks that they didn’t have on ship so we had them while in our room! The ship had Pepsi products which we aren’t a fan of!
Destination List
✈️ City/Country 1: Saint Martin, Virgin Islands
✨ Pros: THE BEST FOOD EVER!!! Once you leave the port there is a beach and restaurants. We paid $50 for two chairs upfront and got to decide on a bucket of beer or two specialty drinks included in price! This was our one of our FAVORITE places!!
👀 Cons: The water is SO SALTY?! I live in Florida I know the ocean is salty but LORD!
🗺️ Tips: The book bag-I brought two of our own beach towels (you are able to bring the two the ship gives you but you CANT FORGET THEM!) There are local restaurants right by the beach..GO!! Their coleslaw is much different than back stateside and it is AMAZING!!!! (I personally don’t like it but over there 🤤) the food was 10/10! The drinks 10/10!!
Destination List
✈️ City/Country 1: Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands
✨ Pros: The most beautiful beach I have ever seen along with St Martin! (I live Destin beach area) and those don’t compete!! We did ask one of the locals about a good beach she recommended Morning Star! (Yes this is a hotel, but you will walk right through and go to the beach, you are NOT ABLE to use their snorkels etc due to their policy.) (they do have shuttles)
👀 Cons: We did have to travel to a beach this time. Ask the locals!
🗺️ Tips: Bring your own towels & EXTRA!! The cabs don’t want their seats wet! (Trust me) Bring your own goggles/snorkels beach toys etc!! I wish I did!
