  • Day 1: New Orleans

    Departs at 3:30 PM

    A Carnival cruise from New Orleans is your chance to discover the unmistakable charm and flavor of the Crescent City. Before or after you cruise, take a little time to explore the French Quarter — romantic as ever, with restaurants serving up heaping helpings of savory Creole cuisine, and nightclubs and street musicians playing the kind of jazz that gets your toes tapping. The best part is, you can soak up some of this flavor before sailing on one of our cruises out of New Orleans.  Whether you’re whooping it up on Bourbon Street, listening to the Jackson Square trumpeters, or hearing the ghosts whisper at eerie St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, spending extra time in the Big Easy is a must when cruising from New Orleans. Time your NOLA cruise right, and you can step out with the parades of Jazz Fest and Mardi Gras.

    • Eat, drink, and revel in the lively French Quarter.
    • Spot mansions peeking out from lush greenery in the Garden District.
    • Dunk sugary beignets in your café au lait at Café du Monde.
    • Celebrate the history of Mardi Gras before you cruise from New Orleans.

    No port today! It’s a great time to explore your ship and its exciting entertainment, food and activities! Or take it easy at the pool, spa, or... if you book a room with a balcony, enjoy the waves.

  • Day 3: Cozumel

    8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
    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.
    • Cruise to Cozumel for a scuba diving adventure along the Great Mesoamerican Reef.
    • Enjoy a leisurely day of snorkeling with iridescent fish at Chankanaab National Park.
    • Swim with the flippy guys at Dolphinaris.
     
  • guest toasting with their wine glasses in the dinning room onboard a carnival cruiseDay 4: Fun Day at Sea
