Hello, my family and I are going to be in Cozumel in May on the Allure. My sister & brother in law will have their 8 month old son and we're trying to find excursions with child friendly travel accomodations. Has anyone done this excursion? The RC description says "ferry ride" but we're wondering how comfortable the boat ride was, says it's 45 minutes. Also want to be sure there are no shuttles/cab/busses involved as we won't have a car seat.

How was the snorkeling?

Thank you!

Im not Bill but most of us on here have been using independant tours for years and rely on word of mouth on here.PLEASE dont be nervous,all these tour operators know that if they arrive late that they will go out of business :)

 

What ports are you going to ?

Thank you, that means alot. My parents have always done it the "right way" and used the ship's excursions it seems like more and more people are booking private tours. We stop in Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan. I scuba but unfortunately my husband does not and I don't want to go on my own so we're trying to find a great snorkeling tour. Have you used Coral Breeze?

As you may never get back to either port, I'd suggest that in Belize you snorkel with Coral Breeze with includes two snorkel stops & then a local lunch on Caye Caulker, then the boat ride back to the Tourist Village. Look up the web site for Coral Breeze Tours. We have used this tour provider for probably the last ten years, about twice a year, with great results & zero problems. With Heni as their group leader, you will have a great time.

In Roatan, we snorkel at Tayabana Beach thru the ship which is a walk in snorkel experience with a short swim to the reef. This tour runs about $35 PP & includes an included bus ride to & from this beach. You can pack a lunch during breakfast that required no refrigeration & travel on the cheap. Or food may be pruchased there as well as drinks. This is one of the top three snorkel sites we have ever visited.

Enjoy.

Hi there, my husband and I are headed to Belize next month (his first cruise!) and I'm looking into Coral Breeze. I've never booked an excursion NOT through the ship, so it makes me a little nervous. Any tips or advice?

Thanks!
