When I was cruising with Carnival Cruise Line<\/a> in the Caribbean, I went on some of the most AMAZING adventures. I couldn’t believe all I was able to do on this trip! The excursion options were seriously limitless and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! After three days of onshore exploration, can’t wait to share some snapshots of each!<\/p>\n

DAY 1: My first port was Cozumel, Mexico. A Carnival crew member recommended I go to Xcaret Park<\/a>… and I’m so glad I did!!! The best way to describe Xcaret Park is it’s like a giant paradise amusement park… there are SO many activities available!!! You can easily spend a few days exploring the park, but since I only had a few hours I chose to float down the underground river and explore natural cenotes. The pictures don’t do it justice. It truly was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. A grand adventure indeed.<\/p>\n

DAY 2: My second port was in Belize City, Belize. This day was filled with rich history and exploring. A group of us traveled to the Xunantunich Mayan Ruins which is just two miles away from the Guatemalan border. It was really amazing to walk through this archeological site… I felt very connected to a big piece of ancient history. I mustered the courage to climb to the top of El Castillo which is the largest temple. The view was TO DIE FOR! Breathtaking! You can see right into neighboring Guatemala!<\/p>\n

Plan a getaway<\/h2>\n epic zip-line<\/a>, THIS was it! The feeling of flying through a tropical canopy down seven different cable lines was an indescribable rush! Each platform offered a totally unique\u00a0mountain\u00a0view, and I spotted wild parrots, monkeys, and even an orange iguana! After the zip-line adventure I spent the rest of the day at Gumbalimba Park, enjoying white sand beaches and snorkeling through the world’s second largest great barrier reef. I was mesmerized by all the colors of the fish, corals, and sea plants. NOTE: MUST BRING AN UNDERWATER CAMERA, which was my regret. The experience, however, will be with me forever.<\/p>\n
