  • Complimentary Dining: We didn’t just eat; we explored! We review the massive variety of free food, including Guyโ€™s Burger Joint, Shaqโ€™s Big Chicken, and the delicious included options at Chabang and Cucina del Capitano. ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ•
  • Entertainment & Activities: This is where the Jubilee really shines! We dive into the high-energy deck parties like the 80s Rock & Glow and the White Hot Night. Plus, we review the incredible production shows, from the “Universal Studios” vibe of Soulbound to the beautiful aerial acts in Celestial Strings. Itโ€™s some of the best entertainment weโ€™ve ever seen at sea! ๐ŸŽญโœจ

Belize Cave Tubing with Lunch Excursion (Booked Through Carnival Cruise Line) ๐Ÿ›ถ

Planning your day in Belize? We booked the popular Cave Tubing with Lunch Excursion directly through Carnival Cruise Line, and we’re taking you along so you know exactly what to expect! ๐Ÿšข

The Adventure Breakdown and the Reserve

Be prepared for the journey! The experience starts with a 75-minute bus ride ๐ŸšŒ to the outpost. Before you even start your hike, you’ll grab your tube and headlight ๐Ÿ”ฆ. Then, you’ll begin the 25-minute walk ๐Ÿ‘ฃ to reach the Caves Branch River entrance. This hike takes you deep into the Nohoch Cheสผen Caves Branch Archaeological Reserve, a dense tropical rainforest area. Your knowledgeable guide will share details about the surrounding jungle plants and animals as you follow the trail.

Two people carrying bright green inner tubes walk along the rocky, shallow Caves Branch River in Belize during the Carnival Cruise Line cave tubing excursion hike.
Carrying the tubes and crossing the shallow river is all part of the fun on the jungle hike! This crossing is near the exit point, showing the beautiful, clear water of the Caves Branch River.

Once you get in the water, you’ll float through the spectacular, dark limestone caves. You’ll be guided through mystical formations that have taken centuries to form. Afterward, a delicious Belizean lunch ๐Ÿ— is included at the Jaguar Paw Outpost. This 200-acre adventure park is the hub for many activities, including zip-lining and ATV tours, but the tubing is the main event!

Essential Tips: What to Bring

Since this is a water-based excursion, a little prep goes a long way! Wearing water shoes is required for this excursion, so make sure you bring a pair for the hike and the river! Also, be sure to bring cash for lockers and souvenirs and don’t forget the bug repellent for the jungle walk!
