Review summary

It was not a good cruise and the excursion company you use, Shore Excursions LLC is a rip off. How can you drop people off in a foreign country and expect them to get in a cab to get to the excursion.

This was the reason we went on the cruise to see the Mayan Ruins. We got off the ship and had to take a taxi to the dock, he went to the wrong location and we missed the boat. I was told I would get a refund but was VERY disappointed. The company we booked through that you endorse Shore Excursions LLC will not give me a refund. Multiple attempt to get a refund and I even paid for the protection plan and they still will not give me a credit.

Gripe-Gripe. That is all some people do. The Dream is a beautiful ship. If you guys don’t want her in Texas please have her sent back to New Orleans. Love the Dream and Carnival

We have had absolutely no issues with shoreexcursioneer.com. If you follow the directions given on your ticket you will get to your excursion. They provided the excursion... You missed the boat. They owe you nothing.

Always make sure you book with a reputable company and find out what is included in the excursion and what's not

We usually take non-ship excursions and never have an issue. Getting a cab in Cozumel is very easy. You just tell the person at the stand where you want to go, they assign you a cab and you’re on your way. But you must know where specifically you are going, which is usually provided by the tour operator.

Why are you blaming the Dream when you booked a non-Carnival excursion? They had nothing to do with your excursion.
