Are you one of those people who’s just sick and tired of the same celebrations at the same place with the same people, year after year?  As opposed to being stuck in one bar or club all night—and often paying outrageous New Year’s Eve prices, New Year’s Eve cruises give you the chance to switch venues. From the various places on the ship to exploring the epic destinations on the itinerary.

On the way to Mahogany Bay, the Fun Day At Sea is a short-lived party on the seas. The Carnival Paradise,  with so much of it indoors, outdoors and everywhere in between, Carnival Paradise features great times in and near the water courtesy of hot tubs, pools and a Carnival WaterWorks™ waterpark featuring a giant spiraling slide and dual racing slides. For those who appreciate a good story, there’s Seuss at Sea™ with an interactive storytime and parade!

On the food front, aboard this ship there’s two of our top casual spots: Guy’s Burger Joint™, featuring the goods from Guy Fieri, and BlueIguana Cantina™, with authentic south-of-the-border taco/burrito goodness. Refreshments — and good times — abound with RedFrog Rum Bar® and BlueIguana Tequila Bar™. And a little closer to home (well, your vacation home), Carnival Paradise now features even more staterooms with a balcony. Feel that breeze!

Cruise to Mahogany Bay and you’ll feel like you won the island lottery. With silky-sand beaches and diamond-clear seas, the island of Roatan is one of the Caribbean’s hidden gems. And there’s no better way to experience this natural paradise than on a cruise to Honduras. The largest of Honduras’s Bay Islands is a real beauty, built on a backbone of volcanic rock and ringed by the world’s second largest coral reef. Carnival cruises to Roatan promise superb diving and fishing, plus totally swoon-worthy beaches. The lush landscape of the wildlife reserves and pristine marine parkland of Roatan awaits you on your cruise to Mahogany Bay in Honduras. 

Things to do in Mahogany Bay 

• Swim in the sparkling turquoise seas off West Bay.
• Ride the Magical Flying Beach Chair on the castaway island at Mahogany Bay.
• Dine on savory Honduran specialties in local West End restaurants.
• Watch resident capuchin monkeys cavort in Gumbalimba Park when you cruise to Honduras.

 Cozumel is proof that Mexico can do ‘island flavor’ with the best of the Caribbean. It may not be the biggest island in the sea, but Cozumel offers a huge variety of things to do, see, taste and explore. This island just happens to be perched atop a coral reef, which promises hours of snorkeling or scuba diving fun. Cruises to Cozumel dock at the island’s heart — just minutes from San Miguel’s seafront shops and the white sand beach at Chankanaab National Park. Drift among star corals and sea fans on a Cozumel diving excursion or simply kick back on the beach beneath your own palm palapa as the turquoise waves roll in. With non-stop zip line action, ancient discoveries at the nearby Mayan ruins, or time spent with your toes in the sand, a cruise to Cozumel may just top your best vacations list… before you even get home. 

Things to do in Cozumel

• Cruise to Cozumel for a scuba diving adventure along the Great Mesoamerican Reef.
• Enjoy a leisurely day of snorkeling with iridescent fish at Chankanaab National Park.
• Swim with the flippy guys at Dolphinaris.
