Guests can also indulge in the two-day Photo Safari & Beach Expedition, which includes a one-hour photography seminar, guided tours of Mexican beaches and hands-on learning at a national park.
In Ocho Rios, Jamaica, guests can indulge in the Eat, Drink & Dance tour where they will sample traditional jerk cuisine, dine at the world-famous Miss T’s Kitchen and enjoy beachside Jamaican rum cocktails. For the day, guests can also enjoy the Jamaican Home for the Day experience, which includes a private villa and beach, home-cooked meals and plenty of frozen drinks.
Guests cruising in St. Thomas can relax on Carnival’s Eat, Drink & Walk tour, which features a trip to St. Peter Mountain Great House & Botanical Gardens, island rum samples, cocktail making classes and a traditional island meal.
Carnival is also offering experiences for the whole family throughout select Caribbean, Mexico and Bahamas trips.
