Review summary

A little disappointed that we were not able to book the Xenses Park Excursion simply because age restriction of 65. I understand that there are some activities in Xenses Park require certain level of physical strength, and your concerns do have some merit but all these activities are optional and we are only interested in the visual / optical illusion part of this Park. I did contact the Excursion department requesting to lift the age restriction but was not successful. While on the ship, we participated Zipline, Rock Climbing and Wavesurf activity without anyone questioning our age, so I don't understand why we can't book Xenses Park from the Cruise. While I was able to purchase Park Admission directly from the Park(there is no age restriction from the Park side), but I will have to arrange the ferry ride and ground transportation, etc. And I was a little too lazy to do that, so we had to give up the Cozumel tour. I really hope that Royal Caribbean review this age restriction and revise if they see fit. Overall this was exciting cruise and I'm very much enjoyed (I especially enjoyed the BOSS Underwater Adventure excursions!)

Have never been begged for tips. Probably because I am overly generous with tips. I feel sorry for the crew stuck on the ship for months working 7 days/week.

Thank you for sharing your cruising experience. Can definitely relate to that age limit on some excursions.
