I contacted Royal Caribbean today to see if there was a waiver for an exemptions to this and was told a firm no. This is very disappointing as I booked this cruise with my elderly parents , whom are very active, and from the list of Cozumel excursions there are only a handful they could do. As mentioned in an earlier post, they can't even do a trolley tour of Cozumel, again, absolutely ridiculous! We were hoping to find an excursion as an entire family of all ages but not finding anything and I'm feeling badly for selecting a cruise that is so limited! My parents like doing the cruise line excursions as they like the sense of security that the ship will stay if they are delayed on their excursion- they wouldn't be comfortable doing a private company. I'm hoping this is not a new trend in cruising, obviously Royal has a choice of tour operators that they work with and other cruise lines don't have a maximum age- they had a choice, and are choosing to isolate a large population of cruise travelers.

We are also booked on a future Royal Caribbean cruise this December and am so troubled by this maximum age requirement on their excursions...we are traveling with my parents that are extremely active and with this requirement we are very limited on what we can do! We are also going to Cozumel, even touring Tulum ruins has max age...ridiculous! We recently cruised on Carnival, last summer on MSC and didn't have this issue at all...will definitely affect our future decisions for cruising!
