Laurba99 Posted January 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We only stop at Belize and Cozumel(LOS) and although I almost want to stay on the ship seems like it would be a missed experience. Not sure any tours sound appealing for my son and it doesn't sound like the safest place to walk around.. What do others with kids he will just be 7 and gets bored easily so the four hour tours seem too long. Is there a lighter excursion that just takes you to a beach? Would love to hear what other recommend. I guess I wouldn't mind a city tour if it didn't take too long and so they end at a beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teejoy Posted January 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2014 When are you on Liberty? We are going on Liberty as well on Feb. 15th. Our group has split up for Belize. My sister who has a 7 and 9 year old are doing the tubing, my other sister with a 9, 13 and 15 year old are doing snorkeling, and my husband and I are doing the calypso train ride with royal caribbean.

Laurba99 Posted January 14, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Not until Nov :) planning early. Been three years since I had a cruise planned so very excited and this is the biggest ship we have done by a lot! Before this Millenium was largest so going back while. Glad my son who was newly four on last ship will be newly 7 and able to do so much more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mitsugirly Posted January 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Maya Chan is in Costa Maya, Mexico...not Cozumel. Two totally different places. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurba99 Posted January 15, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted January 15, 2014 That is why I questioned what Laszlo was mentioning.. Sounded ideal if that was near my port but doesn't appear To be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom_n_mi Posted January 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2014 We are sailing in December and I am planning on taking both my boys (aged 11 and 5) cave tubing. It is an hour drive each way, the tour takes 1.5 hours. You can read Mitsugirly's review in her signature when she took her 3 year old daughter. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=30667696&postcount=44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurba99 Posted January 15, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Mom-n-mi Thanks! I was very curious how your five year old did on the trip. I am a little risk averse so when you talked about pointing out where some Woman died that freaked Me out and I couldn't follow how it happened? My six Turning seven year old gets whiny fast if Uncomfortable so not sure this sounds like for us :) maybe when he is older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted January 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Sorry for the misinformation. Yes, Maya Chan is in Costa Maya not Belize. I was just reading another thread in Costa Maya and thought I was posting there. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festivalfrau Posted February 17, 2014 #15 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I am taking my 5 yr old cave tubing in February. Will report back. Just got back. My 5 year old had no problems, though at the last minute she decided not to take her own tube and rode with me. Was not a problem and I actually felt a little better when I saw the sign that said they were supposed to be 48 inches tall to ride on their own (she is 46 inches). Make sure you book with a company that carries your tube for you. They did have smaller life jackets (we brought our own to be sure) but it was an adult size small helmet. We just left her hat on underneath and all was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
