plasticformer Posted October 17, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Has anyone heard of or done a shore excursion from Calica with cozumelcruiseexcursions.com? I am going on Carnival Fascination next week, and have inquired from this company, but have yet to book a Zip Line/ATV tour when we get to Calica. Their prices seem to be about half of what Carnival offers, but I am a bit leary about using a private company. I am interested in any and all opinions or recommendations for non Carnival excursion compnanies operating out of Calica. Many Thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticformer Posted October 18, 2007 Author #2 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hello? I am four days away from sailing, have had 18 people look at my post, and no one cares to reply? I still have not booked with the cozumelcruiseexcursions.com. I take it that either no one has heard of this company. When I e-mailed them, they did respond immediately. I told them I wanted to book over the phone, and the lady indicated that they do not take credit cards over the phone, and told me that their site was secure. I am still not convinced, and would like to hear from others that may have used them in the past. Please Help, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygal Posted October 18, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Craig, have you posted your question on the Cozumel or Carnival board? There is not much traffic at this board and no, I have not heard of this company. However, I have always booked my own excursions without a problem. You basically have the same tour company as the ship, but pay double in most cases, and have a more private, non-rushed experience. My only concern is paying for a private excursion up front. Find out their cancellation policy in case the ship does not make port. A good company also will not charge your card until the service is rendered. It is to their credit that they don't take your CC over the phone, so that is a plus. My preference is to have a plan in mind, but make the arrangements at the dock from a tour guide or taxi driver. Negotiation is always available, just know where you want to go and entrance fees. You can arrange the zip-line on your own - the outfit is not far from the Calica pier.

lazygal Posted October 18, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 18, 2007 That didn't read right. I meant to say you pay double for any ship's excursion. Basically, you should be okay. Tour companies would not survive with bad press and if there is a problem, your credit card company can dispute the charges. Usually on these deals, the CC still has to be signed for day of. They will use the info to hold the reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sipncocktails Posted December 1, 2007 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2007 when we went to cozumel last year. We went to a beach club called Nachi Cocum (by the way, it's awesome!) and had to book it through cozumelcruiseexcursions.com. There were no problems at all. We paid, went, had a great time. I cannot remember their cancellation policy though. As someone else suggested you might ask around at the Cozumel board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwnhokie Posted January 12, 2008 #6 Share Posted January 12, 2008 We booked the ATV excursion with them in Cozumel last year. When we found out that we would be definately tendering. They did not feel comfortable with the times and refunded our money. The person that I exchanged emails with was very prompt and courteous. I can't comment on the excursion though because we didn't get to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
