Review summary

Overall we were very pleased with the cruise, it rained at the Cayman Islands when we were there but Cozumel was beautiful. We went on the Cozumel Bar Hop (Cozumelbarhop.com) and they took us to the undeveloped side of the island and it was BEAUTIFUL! We WILL do that again.

The seas were a little rough on the last sea day but that's the chance you take sailing in the fall.

Thanks BonMike I am a little nervous about it I have looked it up and read reviews about it but I haven't thought about traffic and things like that glad you suggested

If you've booked a private excursion, you will need to contact that company to find out if they send info or how you access it. Personally, I'd want all the details before booking it. I would also want to be assured of their return guarantee, allowing for lots of time to get back to the ship, and what they will do for you of they don't get you back before sailaway. There could be traffic problems etc which could delay your arrival. Be sure to read all of their small print.

Sounds like fun!

My only advice - internet search on the tour, and previous user comments. Read all - good and bad. If you are doing this on your own - you could be a savy shopper, or walking into a disaster. 

 

That said - I am interested in the results and look forward to hearing how your tour went.

we have also booked the bar hop tour I have a question will they send us some kind of information on where we need to meet what time and how to get to our meeting place. I am just a little nervous also about getting back to the ship on time I know it sounds silly but we haven't ever booked anything except through the cruise line but this tour just looks like so much fun I couldn't resist anything anyone can tell me about it would be great
