President
CHRISTINE DUFFY BON VOYAGE! Dear Valued Guest, Welcome aboard! On behalf of Carnival Cruise Line, thank you for choosing to spend your vacation with us! We continuously strive to bring new experiences and activities to our ships and our shore excursions, and you’ll find many of them highlighted in this edition of Choose Fun Ashore magazine. In this issue, we chat with our Chief Fun Officer Shaquille O’Neal as he reflects on his role and how much fun he has had since being named our CFO in early 2018. He’s even bringing his popular restaurant, Big Chicken, to two of our ships in 2020! Shaq makes everything bigger and better with his larger-than-life personality. Be sure you watch our new safety briefing video playing on your in-stateroom TV, starring Shaq himself. If you love to shop when you’re on vacation exploring new places, be sure to check out our Guide to Ports to find the perfect souvenir of your Carnival cruise. You’ll also find information on local attractions, must-see cultural sites and Carnival Adventures shore excursions. Our hard-working Carnival team members are dedicated to ensuring your Carnival cruise is safe, fun and memorable. We are committed to exceeding your expectations. And we also ask your support as we work to take care of our natural environment and the communities we visit. While on board, I hope you’ll take advantage of all the activities and amenities we offer — dine in a specialty restaurant, take in a show, test your luck in the casino or doze on a poolside lounge chair. For some added fun, let this Choose Fun Ashore magazine be your guide for additional activities designed to give you your best vacation ever. Bon voyage!

He’s known almost as much for his playful personality as for his basketball skills, so it’s no surprise that the NBA Hall of Famer is having such a good time with Carnival. “In today’s world,” he says, “it’s more important than ever to Choose Fun, especially when everyone is busy with work, family and life in general.”

Chief Fun Officer
ON THE BOARDS O’Neal was one of the NBA’s most dominant players of all time, snagging four championship rings, Olympic gold and an induction into the Hall of Fame. He electrified the game with thunderous slam dunks that broke the supports holding the basket. “Being able to do what I love in front of my fans is what makes it all so fun,” he says. A standout on his high school team, O’Neal wowed the crowds at Louisiana State University (LSU) and left after his junior year to join the Orlando Magic. He made NBA history as the first to be named Player of the Week his first week in the league. He wasn’t satisfied with his college career in one respect: leaving without graduating. He corrected that in 2000, finally picking up his LSU diploma after competing course work in night school. He went on to earn an MBA from the University of Phoenix in 2005 and, in 2012, a doctorate in education from Barry University in Miami. He credits his mother with instilling his belief in the importance of education. “Getting an education — both in school and in life — is critical to success so I want to make sure others know how important it is and how it will help them throughout their lives.” “Getting inducted into the Hall of Fame [in 2016] and winning the four championships stand out, but I’m also very proud of my academic accomplishments,” he says. “Getting my Ph.D. and MBA are two things I’m very proud of.” But nothing makes him prouder than his children. “The best part about being a dad is watching my kids grow and succeed,” he says. “I am such a proud fathe r, a n d i t i s g re at b e ing a b le to watc h the m realize and achieve their goals and dreams.”

Crack open a Carnival brew and taste the flavor of vacation.
Choose one of Carnival’s craft beers, proudly served at left by (from left) Tim Schoen, CEO and founder of Brew Hub; and Edward Allen, Carnival’s vice president of beverage operations.
Enjoy it on tap or from a can. Take a sip on a hot day or while you lounge by the pool. Carnival craft brews are here, and this estimable upgrade means that you can enjoy an exclusive craft beer just steps away from your stateroom. Each of the craft beers has a unique concoction of flavor, aroma, quality and a taste that every beer connoisseur can enjoy, plus they’re available only on board. History was made in 2016 when Carnival introduced the first North American brewery at sea on board Carnival Vista and then Carnival Horizon. Carnival has served nearly 300,000 pints of private-label craft beers on board since then, including unique brews like Miami Guava Wheat and Pumpkin Spice Ale. The success of the breweries led to the need for something bigger, letting all of the guests enjoy the refreshing craft beers fleet-wide. Carnival began a partnership with Brew Hub in Lakeland, Florida, to produce cans and kegs of the exclusive beer, bringing the fun to all.
Opposite: ThirstyFrog Red, one of Carnival’s exclusive brews.
You can now also bring home the flavor of your vacation. The brews are available in four-packs that you can purchase on board and uncap at home, so the fun never ends even after your cruise does.
Craft brews are included in the CHEERS! prepaid beverage program for guests 21 or older. Buy yours at any bar on board or, for even more savings, until the day before embarkation at www.carnival.com/FunShops.
Welcome to the craft brews club.

STANDOUT SIPS “Carnival’s team of brewers have created three amazing craft beers, and we could not be more excited to be working together,” says Tim Schoen, CEO and founder of Brew Hub. “Now, passengers on all 26 Carnival ships will be able to enjoy these fresh, high-quality craft beers on every voyage and take some home after their trip.” All three of Carnival’s craft beers have recipes that were created in-house by Carnival’s brewery team, with the intent to upgrade your vacation. The craft beers are unique to their style and available in 16-ounce cans across all of Carnival’s ships and at all private destinations. These brews stand out against other brand-name beers because of their unique mixture of ingredients that embody a rich essence that will make your taste buds go wild. You asked, Carnival delivered. Part of the fun of craft beer is the experience of the taste, and with these three beers, that experience is exemplified.
The specialty beers, based on recipes developed by Carnival’s brewery team, are available across the fleet and at all private destinations:
PARCHED PIG TOASTED AMBER ALE Highlighted by its rich amber color and notes of toasted caramel and biscuit.
PARCHED PIG WEST COAST IPA This hoppy beer is loaded with bitterness with a bright flavor profile and distinctive aroma of citrus and pine.

THE STYLE OF
Korite
SEEING IS BELIEVING
Calgary-based Korite International created the ammolite industry 40 years ago and is now the global leader in the gemstone’s production. The pendant at her throat glows like a burst of rainbow fire. Its blazing colors resemble the expressive handiwork of an artist. The gemstone in it — one of the rarest in the world — has been mined, cleaned, cut, polished, designed and set, all by hand. It’s taken literally millions of years and the work of many dedicated individuals to bring this uniquely Canadian work of art to market. It’s available today thanks to the experts at Korite International. The Korite pendant is made from ammolite, an organic precious gemstone that was given official gemstone status by the World Jewellery Confederation Coloured Stone Commission in 1981. Its beautiful face is the result of an amazing voyage through time. The journey began during the Cretaceous period, about 71 million years ago, in the waters of the Bearpaw Sea that once covered parts of southern Alberta. Each piece of ammolite began life as a squid-like creature called an
ammonite. The shells of ammonites, ranging in size from tiny up to more than three feet in diameter, were transformed into brilliant ammolite thanks to the right combination of minerals, temperature, pressure and time. Seeing the Light As a gemstone, ammolite consists of hundreds of thin, iridescent layers composed mostly of the mineral aragonite. Whereas other gems’ hues come from the absorption of certain colours, the colour of ammolite comes from refraction of light. Each thin aragonite platelet acts like a tiny prism. Ammolite is also quite soft — a 3.5 to 4.5 rating on the Mohs scale, used to classify the hardness of minerals. Once it is capped with a protective layer, it is brought up to a 7.5 to 8 Mohs rating. For comparison, diamond is rated at 10. Korite has developed its own proprietary techniques to produce the highest-quality gemstone jewelry, and offers an unconditional lifetime guarantee on every piece of ammolite.
APPRECIATING AMMOLITE Ammolite is rated on a scale comprising several factors: AAA: 3+ colors with vibrant vivid hues AA: 3+ colors with extra bright hues A: 2+ colors with bright hues Standard: 1-2 colors with good hues

The dazzling round stone with its own U.S. patent has nearly twice the facets of a conventional round diamond, a unique design and a fiery light show. Industry Recognition The important aspect of this premium cut is its contrast to other well-cut diamonds of similar quality in the critical light dispersion category. The diamond's extraordinary fire is a proven trait, the result of exhaustive lab examinations. This distinction is lauded by AGS (American Gem Society) laboratories acknowledging its superior fire to other well-cut diamonds; and refers to its distinct cut as The Crown of Light Cut. Production sizes range from .01 carats up to 16.88 carats. Raising Expectations These diamonds must fall into the excellent to very good category for cut, polish and symmetry, or they are rejected. Strict in-house grading reports accompany Crown of Light jewelry pieces.

INSIDER’S GUIDE Things to do, places to go and what to know to make the most of your visit to Costa Maya. Adventures loom in the colorful port of Costa Maya. Here visitors can splash in the warm turquoise sea, explore the underwater world and swim alongside schools of bright yellow angelfish. Or they might play amateur archaeologist and survey the ancient ruins in the nearby jungle. Costa Maya’s vibrant coral reefs swarm with marine life and the calm, shallow water is perfect for novice snorkelers, giving them the opportunity to see a variety of tropical fish and even sea turtles, which swim close to shore. If snorkeling isn’t for you, rent a clear-bottom kayak and paddle over the reef. Cycling is also a popular activity allowing bikers to slowly take in the sights of coastal fishing villages. Be sure to stop in at one of the small restaurants and try the fried fish — a favorite among locals. Family fun can be found at the Lost Mayan Kingdom water park containing nine waterslides, thrilling zip lines, hanging bridges and a zip coaster. Those in search of authentic history can venture to Chacchoben, an ancient site with three excavated temples, or Kohunlich, a site of ruins dating to 200 B.C. Kohunlich includes the Temple of the Masks, a pyramid with large stone faces on the temple’s exterior.

CHACCHOBEN MAYAN RUINS
Costa Maya is the home of the most popular Mayan site on the Yucatán: Chacchoben, which was a major ceremonial center until the Spanish arrived in the 15th century. Archaeologists have dated the first human settlements in the area all the way back to 100 B.C. Chacchoben was largely unknown until the 1940s, when a Yucatec Maya man came across it while searching for a spot to build his farm.

Things to do, places to go and what to know to make the most of your visit to Cozumel. Cozumel neatly balances its cultural experiences with its more playful reputation for shopping. In San Miguel, a charming town that hugs the waterfront, tourists can find locally made treasures of silver, turquoise and leather goods, as well as pottery, stone carvings and wooden masks by Cozumel artisans. The port also claims its share of duty-free shops offering diamonds, watches and designer jewelry. The avenidas (avenues) and calles (streets) of the town’s center are easy to explore by foot. Pleasant encounters are likely with some of the Caribbean’s friendliest people, the Maya, who first settled in Cozumel some 1,700 years ago. Many still live in the thatch-roofed homes originally designed by their ancestors. Lunch in town should always begin with guacamole; Cozumel’s restaurants are said to serve some of Mexico’s best versions of this classic avocado dip. Many visitors, especially families, head south from San Miguel to visit the dolphins and sea lions at Chankanaab Park. Other attractions include the landmark Punta Sur Ecological Park and Lighthouse, home to a Mayan-ruin site, and the Celerain Lighthouse. The road to ruins leads many visitors to the archaeological site of San Gervasio, near San Miguel.

While it’s famed for Victorian architecture, visitors to Galveston will find a number of opportunities to channel the days long gone, from museums to The Grand 1894 Opera House, and other popular historical sights. The East End Historic District wears its storied past on its sleeve with stunning Greek Revival-style homes, cozy cottages and bright Victorian mansions. Here, visitors can stroll through the neighborhoods, taking in the picturesque structures before stopping by the Bryan Museum, which features the largest collection of historical artifacts and artwork relating to the Southwestern United States. With an array of great restaurants, endless shopping opportunities and a robust art scene, this vacation hotspot off the Gulf of Mexico doesn’t rely on just its past to lure visitors. Families can dive into the Schlitterbahn Waterpark, a 70-acre award-winning adventure park packed with 51 attractions including slides, rides and rivers. Those seeking dryer family fun can visit Moody Gardens, a comprehensive theme park featuring a 1.5-million-gallon aquarium teeming with tuxedo-clad penguins, seals, stingrays, sharks and more; a rainforest replica housing endangered plants and animals ranging from Giant Amazon River Otters to Saki Monkeys; a ropes and zip lining course; and a water park with a lazy river, wave pool and 18-foot tower slide.

You will take a tender into port, where you’ll have plenty of time to explore. At lunchtime, save room for dessert: a slice (or more) of Grand Cayman’s world-famous rum cake. Shopping is especially rewarding in the capital of George Town, home to some of the Caribbean’s best duty-free shopping — at attractive discounts. Great finds include black-coral jewelry, luxury watches, fine perfumes and gracious dinnerware. Seekers of unique souvenirs choose caymanite — a hard stone with striations ranging in color from pale pinkish beige to deep russet — found only in the Caymans.

Every Day’s a Party
Not that it needs one, but Key West has plenty of reasons to celebrate. Sunsets, for one. Late in the afternoon, visitors and locals flock to Mallory Square to be entertained by jugglers, mimes, animal trainers and musicians while applauding the sun as it sinks into the Gulf of Mexico. Around Halloween time, the costume party is raised to high art in Key West’s very own Fantasy Fest, when lavish floats and outrageously dressed (or undressed) revelers parade down the streets until the wee hours of the morning. Most visitors don’t resist the urge to stop at one of Duval Street’s famous bars. Key West was a favorite watering hole of Ernest “Papa” Hemingway, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Key West honors its Papa each July with Hemingway Days. Literary tours, theatrical events and a fishing tournament pay tribute to Hemingway, as does the Running of the Bulls, a simulation of the event in Pamplona, Spain, which Hemingway helped make famous. The centerpiece of the week is the Ernest Hemingway Look-Alike Contest. Fun and games are not limited to dry land. The waters surrounding Key West teem with world-class game fish pursued by anglers in fierce tournaments throughout the year.

Pastel colors are common in Key West design.
A RICH MIX OF DESIGN
One of the first things you notice on a stroll through Key West’s narrow, tree-lined streets is the unique architecture.
Gingerbread trim, wide verandas, sloping metal roofs, overhanging eaves, cluttered Victorian details, louvered shutters and pastel colors are all part of the distinctive conch-house style that adds to the charm and character of the town.
lime was obtained by burning conch shells, then mixing the powder with sand and water. The abundant conch shells were also used in place of bricks and stones, which led to the coining of the term “conch house,” a designation that now applies to all Key West homes.
The style dates back to the first permanent settlement here in 1822; most of the homes were built before 1900. Pirates, profiteers and poets have all heard the clarion call of Key West, or Cayo Hueso (Bone Island) as the Spanish called it. But the look of the tiny island reflects the blending of the diverse architectural styles of varied groups of settlers who stayed over the years: laborers from The Bahamas, cigar makers from Cuba and fishermen from New England. Florida-coast building forms are fused with Caribbean practicality and the large spaces of New England seacoast homes.
Adding to the mix of construction modes were seafaring shipbuilders who adapted their skills to become architects and carpenters. The hand-hewn woods of cypress, yellow pine, mahogany and juniper, all readily available in the area, were put together tongue-and-groove for floors, walls and ceilings. Attic dormers were turned into additional bedrooms. And roof hatches, common on ships, permitted rising heat to escape and air to circulate. The “eyebrow” style, a Key West invention based on the classic revival architectural phase, placed a series of windows under a heavy roof overhang, another practical way to keep the hot sun out and allow cool ocean breezes in.
Some of Key West’s earliest settlers came from the nearby Bahamas, bringing a functional method of home construction created out of necessity. The basic structures, many of which still stand in the Bahama Village section of the town, were assembled as simple shelters against the tropical heat and rain, and built low to best withstand the fierce storms and hurricanes of the Caribbean region. To make mortar,

While the 3,000-plus structures of the Key West Historic District cover a large portion of the island, one of the largest concentrations of historic wood buildings in the United States, an easy walk through the four-block section of Old Town, offers a wonderful sampling of conch architecture.

The best known of Montego Bay's plantation great houses is Rose Hall. The mansion is said to be haunted by the ghost of Annie Palmer, who — well, we'll let you find out.

TECHNICOLOR TEMPTATIONS
If a pickled parrot lands next to a hummingbird, would you find they are closer to a big bamboo or to a dirty banana? Whichever one you answered — you’re absolutely right. Pickled Parrot, Hummingbird, Big Bamboo and Dirty Banana are all colorful Jamaican tropical drinks. What these concoctions have in common are tropical fruit juice, plus Jamaica rum or Tia Maria. For a Purple Rain drink, just mix vodka, Blue Curaçao, fruit syrup, lime juice and grenadine. It’s No Problem blends fruit juices with coconut rum and crème de banana.
The translation? Mix one part lime juice, two parts sugar, three parts rum and four parts fruit juice (your choice). For Purple Rain without the haze or Pickled Parrot without the punch, skip the “strong” kick. Then see if you can find the real hummingbird near that big bamboo.

INSIDER’S GUIDE
Climb Dunn’s River Falls or just cool off. Ride the famous Jamaican bobsled. Float on a raft down the Martha Brae River.
Things to do, places to go and what to know to make the most of your visit to Ocho Rios. Ocho Rios may not have the eight rivers its name implies, but you wouldn’t know that standing in the powerful cascade of Dunn’s River Falls. The island’s most recognized site offers one of the Caribbean’s most unusual experiences: climbing through 600 feet of rushing mountain water, holding hands in daisy-chain formation with other adventurers. The climb ends in one of the island’s busiest craft markets, where vendors sell wood carvings and straw goods, but most travelers prefer to head to the numerous duty-free malls for more relaxed shopping. Popular purchases at Soni’s Plaza, Harbor Shops, Taj Mahal and Island Village are fine jewelry, watches, Jamaican rum and cigars. Spices are highly sought to bring home a taste of the island’s signature jerk cuisine. Ocho’s elegant side is revealed in such attractions as Firefly, the serene estate where famed British playwright Noël Coward often came to find ‘‘room to write.’’

OCHO RIOS
This island nation has a particular way of barbecuing seasoned meats over a wood fire for a one-of-a-kind flavor. Jerk seasoning is a fiery mix of as many as 20 spices, including Scotch bonnet peppers, pimento (allspice) and scallions. Bite-size pieces of chicken, pork and beef are marinated, or “jerked,” and then thrown over slats of green pimento wood stretched across a pit in the ground or, sometimes, a garbage can or anything else that will do. The result is a spicy, savory meal that must be washed down with an ice-cold Red Stripe beer. If you want some of the best Jamaican jerk, try one of the ubiquitous roadside stands. Or buy a jar or two of prepared jerk marinade to enjoy at home — the price is right.

Things to do, places to go and what to know to make the most of your visit to Progreso. Rich in history and culture, the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico is a memorable experience. Docking in Progreso gives visitors access to pristine, golden-sand beaches; delightful shopping and sightseeing in the colonial town of Mérida; an incredible bird sanctuary and spectacular Mayan ruins. Start with a stop in Mérida and browse the market area for souvenirs, jewelry and handcrafts such as Mayan figurines. Then explore the local architecture. Plaza Grande is home to many historical buildings including San Adelfonso Cathedral, erected in 1598. Nearby, along Paseo de Montejo Avenue, sit several stunning French Colonial mansions. While in Mérida, be sure to taste some Yucatán cuisine, such as chilmole, a turkey meat stew. Duck into a hacienda for some rum-tasting or try xtabentun, an anise liqueur made from rum and honey, exclusive to the Yucatán peninsula. Bird lovers will want to flock south of Mérida to the Celestun Biosphere Reserve, where more than 300 species of birds including hundreds of pink flamingos can be found. North of Merida, visitors explore the ruins of Dzibilchaltun and Uxmal or can travel two hours from Progreso to the Yucatán’s largest and most impressive Mayan ruin: Chichen Itza. It features the Kukulcan pyramid, which stands 100 feet and has 365 steep steps.

Take a jog past the multimillion-dollar mansions of Bayshore Boulevard. Do the zoo or watch the underwater creatures at the aquarium. Ride one of the city’s yellow streetcars to Ybor City (and pick up a Cuban sandwich while you’re there).
Things to do, places to go and what to know to make the most of your visit to Tampa. Start your vacation, or cap it off, by discovering what Tampa has to offer. One can’t-miss thing to do is explore and shop in historic Ybor City, Tampa’s Cuban district. From the 1880s through the 1930, Ybor City factories rolled hundreds of millions of cigars each year, making it the world’s leading cigar producer. Stop by the museum to view fascinating photos of this bygone era, step inside cigar-worker’s houses and enjoy strolling amid a vast collection of Spanish-Cuban architecture. Families can fill their day with discovery at the Florida Aquarium. Learn about the state’s unique aquatic and land-based animals and ecosystems, even swim with reef fish, sea turtles, moray eels and more. And don’t miss your chance to spot wild dolphin on an exhilarating catamaran cruise — watch them feed and play, and perhaps see dolphin mommies teaching their babies. Those with a taste for the surreal will love browsing the Salvador Dalí Museum in nearby St. Petersburg. View more than 2,100 works created throughout Dalí’s life, including oil paintings, drawings, sculptures and photos — all housed in a building designed in a mind-bending architectural style.

THE ARTISAN WAY
A BRAND STORY
John Hardy
What Makes Us Unique • We use Balinese artisan techniques when making our jewelry.
CRAFTED WITH LOVE
Inspired by Bali and its time-honored jewelry making traditions, John Hardy’s artisan collective, founded in 1975, is dedicated to creating handmade, unique jewelry.
Get to know Creative Director Hollie Bonneville Barden
• Our apprenticeship program, Jobs for Life, provides vocational training and financial support to citizens of Bali. • Our Classic Chain ® collection is woven by women artisans and one bracelet can take up to four days to create. • For over 40 years, our artisans have vetted suppliers to ensure both diamonds and gemstones conform to our high ethical standards. • For every purchase from the Bamboo Collection, we plant seedlings in Indonesia to offset our carbon footprint as part of our “Wear Bamboo, Plant Bamboo” initiative.
What is your design process? I start my concept sketching, gathering images and researching what I want to convey. I have a passion for gems and stones and select these for their organic beauty. There is a poetry in stones which can bring a whole concept to life through their raw power. John Hardy was built on an ethos of collaboration and working alongside my creative community of gemologists, designers and artisans, who provide great influence on my creative process. The collaborative environment brings ideas, creating an outcome of decades of experience and cultural heritage. Tell us about your background. What inspires you? I graduated from Central Saint Martins in London and freelanced at numerous boutique jewelry brands before working at a high jewelry house as the youngest-ever head designer. I have been with John Hardy since 2016 and fell in love with the way the company honors traditional artisanship and innovative thinking. I’m blessed

to split my time between New York City and Bali. The contrasts and spirit of these places and my exposure to art, creativity and culture gives me a unique source of inspiration.

THE STYLE OF
Kabana Like the women we adorn, each finished product reflects a lifetime of refinement, its depth sculpted just as much by passion and precision as it is by any tool.
Kabana was founded in 1975 by Stavros Eleftheriou, the undisputed master of inlay, and continues to lead the industry with craftsmanship and design. Using the finest materials found in nature, our gemstones are cut, shaped and polished completely by hand and inlaid using only solid pieces, making for a finished piece of jewelry that not only looks magnificent, but also holds exceptional substance and quality that can be distinguished by touch alone.
