  1. Did you buy these photos or did you take them with your camera?
    We bought pics one and two. I think they were 2 for $30. I don't usually buy that stuff, but we had such a good time and the pics showed it that I thought it was worth it.

     

    They show you the pics at the end of the tour, but there was little pressure to purchase them. Very low key.

     

    We also enjoyed the tour enough that I tipped the guide $20 per buggie. He earned it.

  2. Did you bring a camera with you? Did you wear clothes with a swim suit underneath?
    We wore bathing suits (my daughter wore hers under shorts/tee. We brought a backpack along with towels and cameras packed in it. The passenger of the xrail rode with the backpack between their feet.
  3. We did book through the ship. When you disembark the ship in Cozumel, you walk to the end of the pier and check in with the guides just outside of the duty free shopping building. Very easy to hook up and get checked in with the tour. We were issued 1 ticket for 2 people. The cost was per buggie, not per person (I just went & verified that with my DW, just to verify). So we had 2 tickets delivered to our rooms and 4 people went on the tour. Here are a couple of links to our tour photos. Pic-1 photo.php?pid=1164777&id=691048616 and Pic2

  4. Ibd-ct,

     

    Thanks for this information--it sounds like a blast! Did you book it through the ship? I recently booked this through NCL for our upcoming cruise on the Spirit, and they had me "reserve" only one person--but said it was no problem for both of us to go and share the Xrail. Is that the way you did it? I'm suspicious because doing it that way was less expensive than booking directly with the cozumel-tours dot com site. (and as we know, that's not usually the case with ship tours!)

     

    Thanks!

  5. We did this tour via or cruise to Cozumel on Norwegian Pearl. My 2 sons (21 & 15) were in one Xrail and My daughter & I (she is 18) were in a second xrail. We were picked up at the Cruise pier and went to a second pier to get folks on a Princess Cruise.

     

    As described above, the ride was a blast. Lots of dust. Then it rained a little and our dust coating turned to mud. The ride is very bumpy and bouncy. The buggies can be a little difficult to steer as you bounce over big rocks and logs. We laughed and hooted the whole time. The only excusion that I can rate higher in all of my cruises was the Sunrise bicycle trip down Haleakela volcano on Maui.

     

    The cave was a nice cool stop, but then getting back in to the buggies for the ride back, re-covered us in mud. Carlos, our tour guide was great. Very professional and very knowledgeable.

     

    On another note, at the end of the excursion, my daughter fell and badly sprained her ankle. This was not due to anything on the excursion, she simply mis-stepped and fell and rolled her ankle. The tour company was very attentive in offering her first aid and helping stabilize her ankle. They offered to take her to the local hospital and pay any fees. We declined, got her back to the cruise ship (another whole ...now funny... story) and had her treated by the Ship's physician.

     

    I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a lot of fun and doesn't mind being bounced around. This is definately not a tour for people with back or neck issues.
