Sorry lejo1313, I'm not familiar with that port so I couldn't really suggest anything! Unless you're asking for advice on how to tell your friends you're doing a different excursion from them? Haha (which I totally understand. I love my friends' kids but sometimes I don't want to have them around)

Cruising on Feb 21. We pre booked the excursion for the passion Isle in Cozumel. Traveling with some friends, and they prefer the playa deluxe beach break there. We really don't want to have kids all around us. Nothing against kids, but we've just about raised ours, and this baca is a special gift to ourselves. We want peace, they want all the fun the other offers. Any suggestions?

Ours was the eastern Caribbean cruise so sadly I can't offer advice on your ports!

You're welcome! Worth checking to see if they will let you book vibe beforehand. It may have changed since October.

I can't remember how much, sorry. We missed out. It was my first cruise so I didn't know what to expect. But there are no kids allowed in there so probably worth it if you want some peace! Friends of mine have been in and enjoyed it. You can't book until you board from memory.

yes we want to get the vibe pass but thought we could buy in advance? What was the price and is it worth it?

Oh, if you want to get into Vibe make sure you head directly to guest services as soon as you board. Those passes sell out so fast too!! Basically just plan ahead and book everything at your first opportunity and you'll be fine. Have a blast!!

And definitely make sure you book cagneys restaurant ahead of time too. It's the best but books out quickly.

Definitely get the unlimited beverage package even if you can't possibly see yourself getting your money's worth. I was worried I wouldn't (I never drink) but it was the best decision we made!!

Beautiful ship, customer service seriously lacking.

Food and shows were great. Service in the restaurants not so great.
