&lt;div&gt;We are first time cruisers, taking our two kids (20 and 22) with us on the Elation to Cabo in June.&amp;nbsp; We are trying to choose a shore excursion and considering snubaing.&amp;nbsp; My husband has some disabilities (some paralysis and deaf) &amp;nbsp;but is a pretty good swimmer.&amp;nbsp; Has anyone tried this?&amp;nbsp; Is it difficult to get in and out of the boat, lots of hard swimming etc?&amp;nbsp; We are trying to find something fun for the whole family that we&amp;nbsp;couldn&amp;#39;t likely do at home (we live in So Cal) but still not too expensive.&amp;nbsp; Can we snuba and then lie out on the beach and then shop?&amp;nbsp;Should we get a written release from his doctor so the&amp;nbsp;company doesn&amp;#39;t refuse him when he shows up for the shore excursion? &amp;nbsp;this is all new to me. any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;</description></item><item><title>Weather for January</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/36724.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Dec 2007 19:22:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:36724</guid><dc:creator>missy0326</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/36724.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=873&amp;PostID=36724</wfw:commentRss><description>I&amp;#39;m cruising in January on the Elation to Baja Mexico.&amp;nbsp; I was wondering if anyone knows how warm it will be on shore as well as on the boat.&amp;nbsp; I want to pack appropriately. &lt;br /&gt;</description></item><item><title>San Diego Departure info</title><link>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/52455.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 26 Feb 2008 01:16:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0655a56b-2503-4342-b806-50877dcd70da:52455</guid><dc:creator>twinmom</dc:creator><slash:comments>3</slash:comments><comments>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/forums/thread/52455.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.carnivalconnections.com/cruisetalk/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=873&amp;PostID=52455</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Any suggestions on hotels to stay and keep our car while on the Carnival Elation?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are on a late Feb cruise. We are scheduled to dock at Calica/Playa del Carmen at 1PM. The bullfights in Cancun start at 3PM. Has anybody tried to make the bullfights or gotten transportation into Cancun? Are the time frames realistic? Thanks up front for any advice.&lt;/p&gt;

We&amp;#39;re flying in to L.A. same day&amp;nbsp; around 2 p.m.&amp;nbsp;and need to know if&amp;nbsp; port is&amp;nbsp;within walking distance to &amp;quot; Queen Mary Hotel &amp;quot; . Also does anyone know if we can&amp;nbsp; check in , board , and leave the ship again to do the Q.M. Hotel tour ? Shame to travel so far and not see it .As you can see &amp;quot;time is of the essence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks in advance .&lt;/p&gt;
