Girls Trip 2025: Cruise Edition
Where my Girls At!!!! WE OUTSIDE IN 2025!!!!It's time to kick back with your girls as you experience the luxury of cruise life aboard The Carnival Liberty. Enjoy your 7 day home away from home as you sail away from New Orleans to destinations in Mahogany Bay (Honduras), Belize, and Cozumel.
Carnival Liberty will be Dry Docked May 17, 2025-July 5, 2025
What Does That Mean: When cruise ships go into dry dock, they not only receive routine maintenance to keep the ships running in top shape, but also get cosmetic changes like new carpet, lighting, wall coverings, tile work, more power outlets in cabins etc. New restaurants and features are often added, especially to older ships that have more limited options for dining.
This is Great for Us!!!! because we sail one month after the ship comes back from Dry Doc!!!
**** NO PASSPORTS NEEDED****
BUT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE IT, YOU NEED YOUR ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND STATE ID

Carnival Liberty
-
We think you should have a great time at sea. Carnival Liberty feels the same way! This is one ship that’s ready to put its fun where your vacation is, with plenty of ways to enjoy your time away.
All day long, Carnival Liberty can be found serving up signature burgers designed by Guy Fieri, right there at Guy's Burger Joint™ — and look! — just over there is Sky Box™ Sports Bar: a double-header of a sports bar that brings together live sports on TV and lively sports-gaming competition... oh, not to mention great drinks! Enjoy Blue Iguana Cantina™ tacos and burritos on Lido deck — made fresh, and fast, while you wait — plus two great bars: one rum-slinging, one tequila-wielding, both dueling for your heart. That's right: just a quick stroll from Red Frog Rum Bar® you’ll find Blue Iguana Tequila Bar™.
On the entertainment side of things, Carnival Liberty features two of our best, live on stage. First there's Playlist Productions™, where pros sing and dance their hearts out, performing high-energy themed revues of tunes you know, backed by amazing visual effects. Then there's Punch liner™ Comedy Club where you'll find some real pros who know how to wedge a little laughter into anyone’s evening. Kids have three unique youth spaces where they can hang out with others their age and enjoy supervised activities, games and more.
You might call Carnival Liberty a vacation spot that's just full of great vacation spots... and we'd agree!
Mahogany Bay(Honduras)
- This cruise project has become an important milestone in cruise tourism in Honduras, and more specifically the Bay Islands. The two-berth cruise terminal is capable of accommodating up to two post-Panamax ships simultaneously with over 8,000 passengers. The facility is located in a stunningly beautiful region locally known as Dixon Cove, on the southwest coast of the island of Roatan.
In addition to the two cruise berths, a 20 acre welcome center await tourists visiting the island. This welcome center provides an amazing shopping experience, and it also allows easy access for our visitors to enjoy excursions by land and sea.
Unique to Mahogany Bay is a new chair lift system that takes cruise ship guests from the welcome center to beautiful Mahogany Beach, a 10-acre private island featuring an 825-foot-long white-sand beach with a beach volleyball court and myriad watersports opportunities. The cost of riding the chair lift is $14 for adults and $8 for children 4 to 12 years old for an ALL DAY PASS. Children 0 to 3 years old ride FREE. It transports guests of all ages who are at least 32 inches tall and holds a maximum of 600lbs per chair. We also feature eight exclusive cabanas at Mahogany Beach that are also available for rent. Please contact your cruise line to book these and all other available excursions.
Belize
There are plenty of reasons why a cruise to Belize should top your travel bucket list. A tropical paradise that promises adventure, both onshore and off? You better Belize it! Crystalline rivers flow through impressive lowland jungles, home to wildlife of various stripes. (And various spots.) Silky-sand beaches, waving palms and colorful coral gardens are just part of Belize’s natural wonders. And they’re all yours to explore when you take a cruise to Belize, where surprises await around every corner, including underwater. Whether mountain biking through a lush rainforest or snorkeling with the marine life, you’ll experience things you can only imagine… that is, if you haven’t tried a Belize vacation yet
Cozumel
Cozumel is proof that Mexico can do ‘island flavor’ with the best of the Caribbean. It may not be the biggest island in the sea, but Cozumel offers a huge variety of things to do, see, taste and explore. This island just happens to be perched atop a coral reef, which promises hours of snorkeling or scuba diving fun. Cruises to Cozumel dock at the island’s heart — just minutes from San Miguel’s seafront shops and the white sand beach at Chankanaab National Park. Drift among star corals and sea fans on a Cozumel diving excursion or simply kick back on the beach beneath your own palm palapa as the turquoise waves roll in. With non-stop zip line action, ancient discoveries at the nearby Mayan ruins, or time spent with your toes in the sand, a cruise to Cozumel may just top your best vacations list… before you even get home.
