We are past cruisers, 3 cruises on Carnival and 1 on RCCL, and are planning our 4th Carnival cruise for the Summer of 2010 to the Carribean. We have been to St. Marteen, Martinique, Barbados, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Nassau x 2, and Freeport. We would like to hit some different islands before we repaeat any of the others listed above. This is where you come in. As frequent crusiers and past cruisers this is where you come in. Please make suggestions on islands that you have cruised to and would reccomend. Thanks. Happy cruising!!!&lt;img src="http://www.carnivalconnections.com/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Dunn's River Falls</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/410033.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:28:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:410033</guid><dc:creator>brenkell</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/410033.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=282&amp;PostID=410033</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My husband and I want to go to Dolphin Cove and Dunns river falls but we are unable to make the 600 foot hike up the falls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will the tour guide take us to the point where we would meet up with the&amp;nbsp; hikers????&lt;/p&gt;

That being said, Nassau is becoming a bit over done for us. We have done the Aquarium at Atlantis, snorkled on a reef, strolled (if that&amp;#39;s what you can call it) the Straw Market, walked around the town, done the water taxi to Atlantis (that was fun) &amp;amp; various other things. Anyone have any ideas as to something different &amp;amp; fun we could do? Although we are seasoned cruisers, we are taking a friend who is all new to this type of adventure. Something that would be fun for us &amp;amp; an adventure for him. Thanks in advance everyone. I know my brothers &amp;amp; sisters in cruising can come up with something exciting...
