Outrageous Excursion Price for Salsa/Salsa Cozumel. What do I do?

[firecracker1]

Carnival charges $49/pp for this excursion.NCL charges $119/pp.

 

 

Salsa and Salsa no longer takes private reservations.

 

 

Sounds like it would be fun, but that's a ridiculous amount of money for 4 hours of chips and salsa and bit of dancing. Anyone know of a more reasonably priced alternative?

 

 

We are independent travelers who speak spanish and try to book excursions on our own.

Do this tour instead. It was great

And you get a whole lunch that you prepare, drinks and a beach day! No salsa dancing but it is a fun day.

Seriously? $49 vs $119? I did this last year and it was $99. It's actually really fun -- but I wonder why the huge price difference?

Look up cruise excursions in cozumel... We've booked Bar Hop Cozumel (yup that's the name of it) which is only $57pp and you go on a bus all over the island. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but it's a private tour and a lot less expensive. Use a search engine (I love google) and just look up whatever it is you're looking for. Much less expensive if you book private tours. ;)

A couple of years ago I booked a Tacos and Tequila tour at the Discover Mexico Park. Had a great time, drinks and food as well as a bit of history. Highly recommend it.

We did the Salsa & Salsa tour a few years ago on Carnival and it was $99 pp, so at $119 now doesn't seem too bad.

It was a really fun tour but we thought there were too many salsa's to make, it got boring after about the fourth one, there were like seven.

Carnival actually has it for $69.99, children are $49.99; but yeah, even at that the price difference is crazy.

The key is the "starting at" price. Excursion prices get jacked up during peak times.

So, I know this thread is old but wondering if I can get some info...a friend recommended this tour but it's now only available thru the ships and Celebrity is charging $99...wondering how crazy busy it is...they said they take 30-90 guests. I have a group of between 14-20 and really don't want to be in a 'cruise ship busload' tour!

Anyone had any recent experiences here?

Is it worth $99/per person?

Oh my goodness!!!

Thank you Scsagh! I have contacted the company directly and they were adamant (as is their website) that they only deal thru the cruise ship...it's $64.99 for our sailing also! And reading the info on Shoreexcursioneer there are different times for the class, not everyone at one time.

 

Hmmm...now I don't know WHAT to do! Was already looking at other options for this date:cool:
