Carnival Magic cruise...days 2 & 3

When we booked this cruise I was very curious what kind of weather we would have as we sailed out of Galveston, TX in midFebruary and as we sailed south to Jamaica. I would say it was cool for about the first 24 hours. It was a fairly sunny day in Galveston the day we boarded the ship with temperatures in the high 50s or low 60s. The first night we wanted a light sweater to be outside and the next morning it was still cool. The boys played in the hot tub and rode the slides a few times, but were cold and wanted long sleeve shirts when done. By that night you could feel the warmer Caribbean air.

The next morning we docked in Montego Bay, Jamaica for a day of fun in the sun. I had a hard time deciding what was the best option for our family in Jamaica. Originally I planned to do a dolphin encounter, but as far as I could tell they were all on the other side of the island and I didn't want to do a long van ride. We instead decided to do an all inclusive beach day at the Sea Winds Beach Club. SeaWinds is a 3 minute bus ride from the boat and offered a clean private beach, lunch, drinks, kayaks, and a pool.

The boys loved playing in the sand and digging for shells. We took a short catamaran ride and really just had a lazy day on the beach. Then we were back to the port and on the boat in time for showers and dinner, this night at the Italian Restaurant which we loved!
