Excursions - Who to book with?

[Cruise Fairy]

If you want to try booking independently and you are interested in a dolphin swim at Chankanaab Park in Cozumel try ... Moderator: removed commercial site link... this is the place that cruiselines will take you to but at a much higher price.... you just get a taxi from the pier to the park- $10. WE did the Royal Swim, it was the highlight of our cruise,an expensive day but so worth it. If your ship does not come into port for weather reasons they will refund with out problem.

You need to allow a good two hours at the park, so book a time that will let you get back to the ship in plenty of time- it's a ten minute ride away.

Thanks for all the advice! I'm going to book everything thru Carnival my first time out. Since I'm not only responsible for myself, but also my daughters, and I'm not familiar with any of the ports, I think this is the best choice for me. I'm sure I'll pay more, but I'll have peace of mind! Happy cruising!

Have a great time!! You'll have more fun with your family without having to worry about trying to get the best deal. Its always safe to just stick with the cruise line excursions. I always do.
