点评:We don’t usually purchase excursions directly through the cruise line but this was a Journeys cruise and we wanted to relax and have our day be Carnival’s responsibility and we are so glad we did. The shore adventures team does an excellent job at these less visited ports of directing guests exactly where they need to go so it was very easy to find our group right as we got off the ship.
Our host/guide, Warren, was incredible. I can’t remember our driver’s name but I was so impressed by not just his driving skills on an island but he was equally helpful getting folks off and on the van and answering questions.
After a 15 minute ride we arrived at Magazine Beach. When we first got there I thought it was an average spot but I quickly realized we were just in the parking lot. The beach area with chairs is about a 5-7 minute walk but completely worth it. The beach area is very shaded by palms and mangroves but there’s also plenty of space to get sun. There is a bar/restaurant that is connected to the resort but you will not have access to the resort itself, just the bar/restaurant area and restrooms.
The beach was hands down my favorite beach I’ve been to anywhere in the world. The 2.5 vans from Carnival were the only people there so it was not crowded at all. It was quiet and felt like we were on a private beach. The sand was very white, fine/soft, and extremely clean. It wasn’t very rocky but there were large rocks in the sand near where the surf breaks.
On the day we visited the surf was strong/rough/high but there was no undertow/current pulling you back out. We travel with small floats and we were thankful to have had them. As pretty fit people, my husband and I struggled a little getting in and out but there were plenty of people older/less fit in the water and doing fine.
It was truly my favorite beach day we’ve had in 12+ cruises and we can’t wait to go back.
翻译:我们通常不会直接通过邮轮公司购买短途旅行,但这是一次旅程游,我们想放松一下,让嘉年华负责我们的一天,我们很高兴我们这么做了。岸上探险团队在这些游客较少的港口做得非常出色,他们准确地指引客人需要去的地方,所以我们下船后很容易就找到了我们的团队。
我们的主人/导游沃伦非常棒。我不记得我们的司机的名字了,但我不仅对他在岛上的驾驶技术印象深刻,而且他同样乐于助人,帮助人们上下车并回答问题。
经过 15 分钟的车程,我们到达了 Magazine 海滩。当我们第一次到达那里时,我以为这是一个普通的地方,但我很快意识到我们只是在停车场。步行约 5-7 分钟即可到达带椅子的海滩区,但绝对值得。海滩区被棕榈树和红树林遮蔽,但也有足够的空间晒太阳。度假村内有一家酒吧/餐厅,但您无法进入度假村本身,只能进入酒吧/餐厅区和洗手间。
海滩是我去过的世界上最喜欢的海滩。嘉年华的 2.5 辆面包车是唯一的客人,所以一点也不拥挤。这里很安静,感觉就像在私人海滩上。沙子很白、很细/很软,而且非常干净。岩石不多,但在海浪拍打的地方附近,沙滩上有大石头。
我们去的那天,海浪很猛/很汹涌/很高,但没有暗流/水流把你拉回来。我们带着小浮漂旅行,很庆幸有它们。作为身体相当健康的人,我和我的丈夫进出时有点吃力,但有很多年纪大/身体不太健康的人在水中,他们表现得很好。
这确实是我们在 12 次以上巡游中度过的我最喜欢的海滩日,我们迫不及待地想回去。
