mommypenguin29 Posted November 14, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2019 We will be coming there in about two weeks on Royal Caribbean... Can anyone recommend an excursion possibly thru Royal for a family... we plan on doing a ruins tour at another port...our kids are 14 and 11. Looking for something fun, but not one where we have to spend an hour or more getting there and coming back to port...possibly even something for just a half day excursion...

JohninDC Posted November 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Cozumel is an island, so most of the excursions and activities revolve around the water (snorkeling?) or beaches. What are you interested in? Chankanaab is a Marine park where your kids can swim with the dolphins ($$$), and then you can enjoy the beach, small pool, separate snorkel area, nature trails, etc. Or skip the dolphin swim, pay the $20 admission fee, and enjoy everything else. About a $12 cab ride each way. Lots of beach clubs to choose from - Paradise Beach, Money Bar, Mr. Sanchos, etc. Most are lined up next to each other on the same side of the island, so only facilities and business plans (all inclusive, pay as you go, etc.) differ. Read this board and check reviews on trip adviser to see which one meets your needs/desires. Taxis are easy and well regulated (especially compared to the crooks in Philadelphia), with the fares in US dollars posted on a board near the cab line for your pier (3 piers on Cozumel - be sure you return to the correct one, which can be a challenge after too many margaritas!). Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted November 15, 2019 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I agree with John, just take a taxi to a beach club. I suggest you scout out Paradise Beach on the web. While they recently begin to offer an All Inclusive price option, you can still just walk in without reservations, $3 pp. They have a pool and also water toys which are popular with tweeners and teens. BTW, you'll most likely be at the TMM International Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommypenguin29 Posted November 15, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks - i will take a look at some of those...looks like 8 ships will be in port that day - so guess everything will be busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted November 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2019 If your teens want to snorkel check out the Money Bar. No beach, you enter the water via steps. Good snorkeling from the shore, rental gear and guides if needed. Good facilities, lockers, lots of chairs and shade, plus good food, drinks and service. Taxi for up to 4 passengers will be about $12 each way. No admission fee.
