How much was this?Just got off of a cruise where our Grand Cayman stop was changed to Progreso. Not sure about how everyone else did, but our Progreso excursion was the highlight of our trip.
It (the "Chichen Itza with Cenote Swim" excursion) was expensive - $150 per person.How much was this?
Thank you. Yes it seems kinda pricey but honestly a lot of excursions are. My kids loveIt (the "Chichen Itza with Cenote Swim" excursion) was expensive - $150 per person.
Interesting. Must be a breakoutFWIW, St. Thomas denied docking to the Fantasy this morning. There is a Carnival ship in port, so it's either USVI officials or DCL officials making this call, likely for reasons related to Vibe and Edge being closed.
Can you expand on your experience? Did you take a bus or boat to your destination and how was that? We did a cenote swim in Cozumel and it was the highlight of our trip as well. There was a ferry ride to the main shore though and that part id rather avoid. We worried about the seas being rough but we were ok and then we did miss the all aboard time but they held the boat since the ferry was all Disney cruise people.Oh, it was Disney, on the Wonder. It was actually the first time any Disney ship had docked in Progreso, and they made a big deal of it there.
I should have said - the tour we did in Progreso was Chichen Itza with Cenote swim. Chichen Itza was a bucket list thing for me, even though we weren't there for that long, and the Cenote swim was way cooler than I had expected (and was the favorite part of the trip for my daughter) - basically swimming in an underground cavern with lots of stalagtites/stalagmites. This was an all-day excursion (we were some of the first ones off the ship, and returned right near all-aboard time, and was expensive, but we liked it. The nearly-perfect weather didn't hurt, either!
We were disappointed at first to miss Grand Cayman (we had been there on a previous trip, and we remember it as the best beach we've ever seen anywhere), but that excursion made us really glad things switched around.
Key West is out due to their vote to ban large ships.
Just so I don't clutter up this thread, I just now posted a super-long excursion report at:Can you expand on your experience? Did you take a bus or boat to your destination and how was that?
