We went on an airboat ride through a swamp.  Our team was not able to see the manatee or the crocodiles but some other boats did.  We saw many different kinds of birds and were able to experience the power of 450 horses our in the swamp.  It was ok but if offered the opportunity to go again I would probably stay with the ship.

We were able to get into the water and swim with the Dolphins.  Crista was our dolphin to play with in the water.  She would salsa dance, be cradled in our arms, stand on her back fin and touch your hand high out of the water, splash water fight with us and she even pulled each of us through the water with her fins while she was upside down.  It was great fun for everyone out there.

My wife went on this excursion and she said her side of the ship was not able to see as much as the other side of the submarine.  The Atlantis used to dock at the pier but now they take a boat out and transfer to the submarine at sea.  They had a good time and officially went down 112 feet which is farther under water than she has ever been.

On the helmet dive they advertise that you are able to keep your eye glasses on.  Now that may be true but with bifocals on I kept trying to look down the ladder to see where I was going and my helmet would fill with water.  I went back up and took my eye glasses off and it was fine after that.

  This is a great tour for those who don't know how to scuba but would like to walk about under the water with the fish and other creatures.  The guides go and pick up the poisonous blow fish and starfish and sea urchins and let you hold them.  The sun ray was not wishing to be held as much.  They also show you how the oysters are protected from the crabs and octopus that would eat them.

  This is one tour I would most certainly jump at the chance to do again as it is very peaceful at the bottom of the sea.

We were in cabin 11241.  This is an interior cabin on the cloud 9 spa deck.  The reason you would not wish to purchase this cabin is it is right beside the stairs where the room service walks up and down and you can hear them walking all night long.

I had fun with the ping pong table all though there was no tournament scheduled as there are on all the other Carnival ships we have been on before.You can place your winnings on your sign and sail card and wait till the evening of the following day when the casino reopens to cash out.
