kosweeps Posted November 8, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Hi Everyone! We're thinking about doing the Maya Key excursion and read that it is a five minute boat shuttle from where our NCL shop will be docked. I also read that shuttles leave every 30 minutes from the island. My question is, can you shuttle back and forth if you want? Like say we want to come back to the ship for lunch instead of eating there, could we go back to the ship for a bite and then head back over for a little bit since we'll be there from 8 am -4pm. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your help! Yes you will be able to shuttle back and forth if you are docked at the Coxen Hole port. The boat runs every 30 min. You may want to consider lunch at Maya Key. It is included with your excursion and it's a really good island style lunch buffet. Salad, chicken, fish, rice/beans and some fried banana chips (YUM). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_L Posted November 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2015 We were at Maya Key this past week. The last boat back to the pier was at 5:00pm. They may run them later at different times of the year when sunset isn't so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisetimeforme Posted November 23, 2015 #4 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Welcome back and thanks Ron for the info, did you enjoy the snorkeling? How did the water quality seem? Did you notice any sea grass or debris here or Costa Maya? Planning on Blue Kay this time with family, any insight would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeleyes27 Posted August 12, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Is any of the food spicy on this excursion? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calmpets Posted August 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Is any of the food spicy on this excursion? Thank you I can't speak for the barbecue chicken, but the fried sea bass is amazing! Very flavorful, but not at all spicy. They also have salad, and coconut rice with beans. No sure what your dining needs are, but their website says they offer a vegetarian menu with advance notice.

angeleyes27 Posted August 15, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I cannot have anything spicy. I am allergic to seafood so that is out. If the chicken is anyway spicy, I wouldn't be able to have that either. Same with the rice and beans. I need to find out or else see what else i can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifes-a-beach Posted August 15, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Angel, neither my wife nor I remember the chicken or rice and beans being spicy. We also don't remember there being any other food there. One thing you may consider though, I do specifically remember them having the chicken and fish in separate serving pans but there's no telling if it was co-mingled before hand.

Galleon1234 Posted January 8, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2017 We will be there at Maya Key in February. Does the ferry still run back and forth every 30 minutes back to Coxen Hole? Thanks for any info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeleyes27 Posted January 9, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't know if you can go back and forth. We stayed there until the next to last shuttle. We enjoyed it there. The buffet there was decent too Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovebears Posted January 17, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Can you book Maya Key outside of the cruiseline? We will be on NCL Pearl Sent from my XT1254 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galleon1234 Posted January 17, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 17, 2017 No, if you are coming in on a cruise you have to book through the cruiseline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted January 17, 2017 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We did the Maya Key excursion 2 years ago and the food was not spicy at all. It was delicious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeleyes27 Posted January 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I made out fine with the food. I had the chicken and salad. I am allergic to seafood and the rice was too spicy for me but I just had extra salad Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
