Went to Big French Key for a day at the beach. and Lunch. Very relaxing as it was a private island calm clear waters for snorkeling, Kayaking and Paddle Boarding. Our guide David was very knowledgeable and personable. This excursion was handled by M.C. Tours. Booked through Carnival Cruise Lines.

The port area not as nice as others but still enjoyable. Went on the Jungle Buggy 4x4 adventure through the rainforest. The excursion was managed by Chukka. Booked through Carnival cruise lines but they offer many more adventures.

Shopping day. There are many shops on the port where you can find some great deals, but if you just want to hang out by the water and listen to music while drinking frozen beverages, I highly recommend Fat Tuesdays.

Sir, do you remember if your room had its own A/C control, or if your room temperature was standardized with every other room on your floor? First time clueless cruiser here!
