Carnival uses a man-made cruise port they call Mahogany Bay. There are your typical Dufry shops here. I would suggest getting with a local and taking a tour of the island or finding something to do here.

I will warn you, when you get with a local or a taxi, there’s a bit of a hike to get them.

You need to exit the port area, walk through the parking lot until you see the stairs going up the hill. Go up the hill, then as you walk back down the hill you’ll see the road lined with vendors waiting to take you wherever you want to go.

If you decide to go to Daniel Johnson’s to see the sloths, I would recommend going there first as it gets busy as cruise passengers arrive. We head there first to beat the rush.
