CatherineM Posted August 23, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2016 We are on Freedom right now! Loving the ship and had a great day at Cocoa Cay. We found out this afternoon that our next ports of St Maarten and St Thomas wouldn't be happening because of bad weather. We are instead heading to Costa Maya and Cozumel. We are waiting to hear what port options are open to us. Wondering if someone can tell me what rcl excursion (beach) are available in costa maya and what rcl charges for them. Also any recommendations for beaches in either costa maya or Cozumel greatly appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debshomespun Posted August 23, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Costa Maya has a very long pier that leads to a variety of port shops, bars, and a pool area. If you would like to go to a beach, you can just go to the taxi area, and take a cab to the Mahahaul beach area. It is $3.00 down, and $2.00 back pp. Very nice beach area with a great boardwalk, shops and bars along the boardwalk, and you can get a massage right on the beach, very inexpensive. Costa Maya is a great stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete1681 Posted August 23, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Check out Maya chan beach,it's an all inclusive resort,excellent food and drinks,reasonable price too. Not an RCI excursion,you may be able to email them and get a reservation. Check them out on trip advisor,they get great reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincicruisers Posted August 23, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Stay safe and enjoy new stops. Paradise Beach in Cozumel is nice. Only a few dollars to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thickerson555 Posted August 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2016 For Cozumel If you have kids definitely check out playa Mia, paradise beach, or mr Sanchez. They are all right next to each other. We did playa Mia. It's about 30 per person to get in and then you can play on the climbing stuff out in the ocean. My kids loved it. For more you can get a buffet and or all inclusive drinks. They had a couple nice pools there too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiseathoning Posted August 23, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) because I don't want to ruin your cruise but excursions are among the least of your worries. Getting back to port is among your biggest. You need to know now, so whatever arrangements need to be made can be made before everyone else realizes it. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php But while you are in Cozumel, go see my buddy Luis at the cuisine workshop. Mexican cooking class I believe it is called. Edited August 23, 2016 by Cruiseathoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also walk up and down their main avenue (Rafael Melgar) to do some shopping and have a taste of Mexican food. There is a Margaritaville if you are interested. You could take the ship's tour to Tulum ruins, if they are offering one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an RCI excursion,you may be able to email them and get a reservation. Check them out on trip advisor,they get great reviews Since I don't think there was a scheduled ship in Costa Maya, Maya Chan may not be open. I have heard of instances where they can't/don't open in time for an "unscheduled" stop. Worth an e-mail though. +1 for Nachi in Cozumel. mac_tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyweir Posted August 25, 2016 #24 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Chankanaab in Cozumel I second this. We were there 3 weeks ago and it was awesome! shoreexcursioneer.com has an exclusive all-inclusive pass for around $35. It includes, entrance, a buffet lunch, snorkeling gear and full access to the park and beach except for the dolphin show. We had a great time. Taxi for 8 people (van) was $22 total each way.

waterbugohio Posted August 25, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 25, 2016 We have done Paradise Beach several times. Depends if you want all inclusive (if you get your moneys worth drinking) Or want to pay as you go. Paradise beach has a gorgeous pool and great beach. But it is just a couple bucks to get in. No reservations needed. And then you pay as you go for drinks or food. We usually get one or two drinks and maybe an appetizer to share. Maybe spend $30 total. But we aren't big drinkers.
