Planning our late 2015 cruise, Mex Riviera (cannot wait!! )

This is what we want to do in Ensenada: La Bufadora Adventure

Carnival price is: $33.99 La Bufadora Adventure

Shore Excursioneer price is: $17.99 Ensenada La Bufadora Geyser Excursion (S1758)

Is it worth to pay the cruise line price for this one? We've used that company last year for Cozumel and Belize. Better prices and we were very happy with all their services. This is a big price drop though, anyone been on the Carnival Bufadora Excursion yet? What is different and is it worth it?

We booked our West-Carib excursions with Shore Excursions. After checking on their reviews, we booked. They were very professional all the way and we are about to book our next cruise to the Bahamas with them again. Good service & excellent prices, it worked out for us.

Grand Cayman Day Pass Excursion at Grand Caymanian Resort (S1697) would is an idea?

We booked with them some other excursions on our 2nd Caribbean cruise and now we are looking at our 1st Mexican Riviera cruise. They have some great prices for shore excursions and the customer service convinced me. We are looking at ATV options for Ensenada as well...

We booked our belize excursion with shore excursioneer after comparing lots of offers such as shoretrips, shorefox, shore excursions group, etc.

They seem to offer a back to ship guarantee and the agents were very helpful and knowledgeable about their excursions. Plus we get an additional discount for booking our beach day in Cozumel. We liked that.

We're looking at that one as well. Seems to be well worth the money compared to a boat ride to the islands (reviews here are mixed about that boat ride, guess it depends on ocean conditions). 15min to get there sounds much better to me ;)

We tried changing currency but it was a bad deal. Most of the stores have USD to BZD as 2:1. Just ask for dollar change back...(worked with the stores around the cruise terminal).

Sorry, did not mean to invade that post, will post as thread. :)

WOW, this is our 5th time to Cozumel and we were definitely looking for something different. We did book the Cozumel Punta Sur Marine Park Snorkel and Papitos Beach Break (S1728) excursion and got EXACTLY what we were looking for, exactly as advertised. We love beaches and snorkeling, not that much on snorkel boats, we prefer the comfort of a beach and the safety coming with it. This was picture perfect and incredibly well priced.

Kim, their representative, met us across the street from our ship, put on the wrist bands for Punta sur park and got us on our private ride to the place, Papitos. There was no hassle with taxi fare, etc...everything was paid for. Arriving at Punta sur, we just showed our wrist bands and done. This is a great park and something not many people get to see. Impressive beaches and completely protected by the island, no waves, no sea weed, etc. As we had been to Tulum before, we did not stop at the ruins and headed straight for Papitos and the booked snorkel tour.

Papitos was exactly the kind of beach we were looking for. No vendors, no traffic, no party noise...just a beach...one of the most beautiful beaches we ever visited. Juan met us and let us know about the times we can join the snorkel tour. We did not go out right away as relaxing was on the top of our list. We had a drink and appetizer, then we flagged Juan and he took care of preparing the snorkeling equipment for us, we did like the fact that flotation vests were included and optional. The reef is a 5min swim out and...incredible!! We've been to Mr. Sanchos and Playa UIvas before, neither of those locations can be compared to Papito's. We were the only ones at the reef which was full of fish, fans and coral. I have never seen a bigger grouper than there, there were also stingrays and turtles...what an awesome snorkel experience!

Back at the beach we took advantage of the free massage included and then went for their seafood platter. Awesome again! Lobster was as fresh as you can imagine, all was served at our lounge chairs on the beach!

We paid $35 for the snorkeling tour, use of Papito facilities and transportation from and back to our ship. I guess that is the best priced snorkel experience in Cozumel, completely worth every cent! And I cannot give enough credit to Papitos Beach...it's a jewel!!!!

Thank you guys for making our day incredibly worth it, we now know exactly where to go when back to this island!

We saw that if you book with Shore Excursioneer, you get your deposit back if the weather is bad and you do not use the tickets...good idea just in case...

We googled that one and found the All Inclusive Resort Day Pass at RIU Ocho Rios (S1704). Will definitely try it! JAM here we come :)

Never had an issue in Roatan, felt much safer than in Belize to be honest :eek:

We used Shore Excursioneer - Mr. Sanchos Cozumel for this one. Was $5 off list price of Sanchos. Can't wait!!

Friends checked out that beach as well and did not recommend us to go for the same reasons of the above poster...

I would also be interested in some informtion on resort day passes in that port, thanks!

We used Shore Excursioneer company for our shore excursions in Costa Rica and they were great. Very competitive pricing, excellent customer service and thier local tours were excellent!

It was a great place...cannot agree that it was dirty or waste of money, we actually had a great time and preferred this beach to Paradise Beach Club.

Always bring a proof. It happened so many times to us, you mention it and nobody knows about and you're done. Bring it on paper and they will make a call and something happens...works almost everytime (as it should actually).

Have not seen it on any others yet, that one is on our list :) Crew said it would come soon but you know how it goes, they just pass along the corp info...

Remember that depending on your ship's sailing port, there is one hour (sometimes 2 depending on the date) difference between ship and port time. You should call the operator or agency to get more information on that!

Did you yet try with Shore Excursioneer - Cozumel Shore Excursions? They have a bunch of ATV tour options...

Got one reply from them but it came from the timeshare department...I deleted it and we are looking at the Occidental Resort now...:rolleyes:

Overpriced shopping, overpriced restaurants and bars...no beach at all. Sorry, we were not too impressed about the port itself, just take a 3min taxi to town...much better!

YaYa Beach was our option and we had an excellent time. Compared with the other beach clubs around, this was definitely the place to be. Clean, friendly service and great food / drinks. You can book direct or with Costa Maya Excursions, we did the with the agency as we got a discount on all 3 port excursions we booked. We love Mexico!

No more passport stamping in Cozumel, they now have a sign outside the office...:(
