The all-inclusive setup included fruit platters and unlimited drinks. For lunch, they served a spread of nachos, fajitas, and seasonal lobster. ๐ŸŒฎ๐Ÿฆž It was a good way to spend the day at the beach before heading back to the ship for sail away.

Carnival Jubilee Caribbean Cruise: Cozumel El Cid & ChiBang! Dinner - Day 3 Vlog

Day 3 of our 7-night Western Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Jubilee brought us to the beautiful island of Cozumel, Mexico! ๐Ÿšข We had an incredible day exploring a local resort and enjoying the unique dining experiences back on the ship.

Easy Port Access to El Cid La Ceiba

For our Cozumel excursion, we decided to visit El Cid La Ceiba. One of the best parts about this location is how convenient it is. It was an easy 10-minute walk from the Puerta Maya port where the Carnival Jubilee docks. We booked our pass through Resort for a Day, which made the entire experience seamless.

Snorkeling and Relaxation

Our day pass included all of our food and drinks, allowing us to relax without a worry. ๐Ÿน๐ŸŒฎ We spent the afternoon enjoying the pools and jumping into the ocean for some fantastic snorkeling in the crystal clear Caribbean water. For lunch, we enjoyed a full spread of delicious fajitas and nachos right by the water before making our way back to the ship.

Evening Fun on the Carnival Jubilee

The excitement continued once we were back on board. We headed over to ChiBang! for a delicious Chinese dinner. During our meal, we were treated to a surprise performance by dancing dragons, which was a huge highlight of the night! ๐Ÿ‰ To wrap up an amazing Day 3, we joined the crowd at Center Stage for the Lone Star Tailgate party. ๐Ÿค ๐ŸŽธ
