Our tour guide was an interesting fellow, but he did get everywhere on time to drop us off and pick us up, but I would not really call him a guide, more just a driver.  The bobsled tour I think is one of the best, ours also included the falls.  Beware of time limits, we barely had any time left at the end to buy any souvenirs, and lunch was kinda skipped, so bring a snack or plan to eat somewhere.  We actually did the bob sled twice, second time you can cut the line, but it wasn't really worth it.  There is also a beautiful infinity pool there with a small slide, pretty fun.  The falls are gorgeous, but climbing them was much harder than I thought.  Even having come prepared with proper shoes, I broke my water proof watch, and scraped my ankle so bad there is still a spot 3 month later, that hurt.  But I tried it on my own, with a group it's too boring.  My advice, do a little portion and walk the stares the rest of the way to the top, but if you're good at this go for it.  Also beware of scammers at the falls and all over really.  Don't give them your name.  Oh, there is also a lady doing massages where the bob sled is, and it's way cheaper than on the ship, and I'd say actually better!  Plus you can do as much time as you want, 10, 20, 30 minutes, whatever.

Ok, the idea of the Jeep tour was great.  However, you share the Jeep with two other people, and we all wanted to drive, so everyone barely got any time behind the wheel.  The actual Jeeps are pretty ran down, some were better than others, ours had different tires on each wheel.  No real off-roading, but a few stops.  The tour guide was ok, gave us a little history, probably as good as I could expect, though I wish they had a CD in each Jeep that was timed to where you are and would give you some more info, or do it over the radio or something.  Also not really enough time to do the tour and shop.  My friend loved the snorkeling stop, I don't do that, so I went for another massage there, a little pricier than Jamaica but still like half the ship price.  What I really want to do next time is a personal submarine excursion.  If I were you, I'd ask your guide to get you back with at least 1-2 hours before you have to leave so that you can go do some shopping if interested.

My least favorite stop overall.  It's the second time I've been there.  The island tour is pretty boring, our excursion included both the tour and stingray swim.  The sailing guys were fun, but not very informative.  They really tried to push some expensive photos onto us, I think that should just be a part of your price as a souvenir.  The drinks they provide were crap, a gallon of water and some disgusting cheapest juice resembling liquid you can buy at a store. This is definitely not your average champagne cruise.  I could do without the stingrays, but I guess it was fun to try it.  The island tour, sigh, they didn't allow for lunch time again, we were starving.  No planned bathroom stops either.  If you've never been to Hell, it's worth going once, but second time, BORING.  I guess the very last part was ok the Turtle Farm stop, I hadn't gone there before and it was pretty impressive.  Bottom line, not the best cruise stop, not he best guide, not the best excursion.  I'm gonna try to avoid that stop next time, but do buy some cheap alcohol when you're there, and do it early cause they have to get it to the cruise ship in time!

I can't remember the exact cabin number.  It had a little port hole.  One day I'll go on one with a balcony.  The room was fine, enough space to unpack.  Shower was actually significantly bigger than what I remember it being on my previous Carnival cruise.  We were on the same deck where you leave the boat from in ports, so that was both convenient and annoying cause everyone walks by your room.

And the last one just made me go WOW, cause it was a monkey hanging from the ceiling, loved it.First thing we did was go for lunch in the Summer Palace dining room.
