Mayan Ruins

[richbum]

We would like to see the ruins during our cruise stop. We have never booked a cruise excursion...Will there be time to do a little shopping before we have to get on the ship....I want to make sure I have time to restock my vanilla! Thanks in advance!

Do you mean cruise excursion to ruins on the mainland?

 

Is Cozumel your only port of call?

We have 5 port stops...but I have heard that Cozumel is the best place to see the ruins...Also considering Costa Maya if it doesn't work out...We would be going on a Carnival excursion if we decided to do the ruins

Cozumel is NOT the place to do ruins... Belize and Costa Maya are the places.  Cozumel only has a tiny ruin on the island, and there is a ruin Tulum over on the Mainland where you take a ferry and a bus... I think both of them are a waste of time, personally.  Tulum is small and very unimpressive in the realm of ruins, and its roped off.  It also gets busloads of tourists, like hundreds of people a day, so it is very crowded.  

If you want to see real interesting Mayan ruins, look at other ports.

Thank you everyone! We booked in Costa Maya! We can't wait!
