Something I would HIGHLY recommend if you&rsquo;re offshore exploring or going on an excursion is making sure you spend a little bit of time walking around the local markets. You can find most markets a short walk from the ship. I was recently sailing on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-ships\/carnival-glory.aspx?cid=icp_dcs_awg_SplendidRags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carnival Glory<\/a> and I had A BLAST exploring offshore in the beautiful open market in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/cruise-to\/caribbean-cruises\/st-thomas-cruises.aspx?cid=icp_dcs_awg_SplendidRags\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">St. Thomas<\/a>. People are really friendly and eager to help if you have questions. I found myself captivated by the beautiful fabrics and how the women would wear them. I was able to get a few tutorials and left with some priceless treasures!!!<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5827 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags1.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags1.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags1-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags1-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5829 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags2.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags2.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5830 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags3.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags3.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5831 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags4.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags4.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags4-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags4-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5832 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags5.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags5.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags5-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags5-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5833 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags6.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags6.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags6-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags6-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5834 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags8.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags8.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags8-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5835 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags9.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags9.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags9-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags9-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5836 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags10.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags10.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags10-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5837 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags11.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags11.jpg 616w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/rags11-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\"><\/p><div id=\"influencerWidgetContainer\" style=\"background: #FFFFFF !important;
