Thank you!

 

I can’t remember... will there be a list of opening and closing times of restaurants and bars on the cruise compass? I will not have internet to ask cruise critic [emoji23].

Chankanaab update: huge success! This place is gorgeous. Sunny with a little cloud cover. Perfect. The girls loved zip lining. They did the 6 tower bronze package. Here’s a tip. If you purchase in advance you don’t have to pay the $21 entrance fee in addition to the $85 zip lining fee. But, if you forget to do that in advance, pull up wifi and purchase at the entrance. Boom, $42 saved!

 

When the girls were asked which they preferred, we did not get a consensus. One hands down blue hole. The others absolutely chankanaab. Interesting.

Yes! Will post it for you when I get back but I think it may change based on port or sea day. Bob would know that.

Love it!! How have the crowds been? We are on the HOTS next Saturday (yay!!) We have a 9yr old to keep us busy.

We’ve really not had crowd issues. The lines for most sporting stuff have been long. Will check with the girls.

Chankanaab was a huge hit. Just back on board. Thought I'd do a quick review.

 

Taxi there is $12 for four. 56f6cdd0e029c9466ed0069bea5f80a7.jpg

Here are all priced from the international pier.

 

Only took about 10 minutes from the taxi line. Quick ride. You see the ships from the park.

Admission is $21USD pp without any additional experiences added in. Well worth it. Facilities are too notch!

Zip lining was offered by Xtreme adventures and the girls loved it. They came to the front and greeted us, gave the girls admission bracelets and zip line brackets then escorted us back.

 

They did a quick orientation and suited the girls up.

Zip lining took about 35 minutes. They did 6 towers. A photo disc was offered for $42. We didn't purchase it.

The park contains a series of beautiful walking path through lush tropical foliage. I walked the entire park after we dropped our things under a palapa and grabbed chairs in the shade. I found a couple big surprise along the way. Likely not surprises if you checked out the map... there is a village of Mayan artifacts and living display. Very cool.

Here's an example of the walking path and there were all over. And perfectly maintained.

We were on the Escape last October Carnival pulled up beside us I believe it was the fantasy you want to talk about a rust bucket three missing Windows on the top deck covered by plywood but if the price is right I'll be there

Meanwhile back at chankanaab... the surprise found in the jungle? Crocodiles! No kidding. Huge. Maybe 20 ft long! 74dcfb7202717a3d3f9ed61806b12b5c.jpg

I peered in and nearly lost my breath. Two habitats. One with smaller, one with huge!!

DD wears crocs so they were kindred souls.

I know folks don't come here for the crocks but talk about entertaining the kids! It seems the snorkeling was amazing. We were seated in the area in front of the reef. Amazing. 719563935e3169696232f41b83bfb177.jpg

There is a spa. Not the nicest. Open air but the prices are high. Or at least I think so. 91a664063a049e0f681d7dc6e9025d9a.jpg

A spa like this in Thailand, Phuket cost $5USD for a massage! $3USD for a facial or pedi. We were spoiled living in Asia.
