Califonria cruiser

Thank you! Jenn

Where can we go to either rent or do a 2 hourish or less tour with kayaks, jet skis, windsurfboards, ATV's or paddleboards in Costa Maya without having to book a beach club? We are happy to pay to rent these items or pay for a short tour, but not interested in all you can eat/drink places or an all day experience.The reason for the 2 hour or less is because only part of our group wants to do these things and would like some family time at the beach with the rest of the group. Any ideas? Jenn

We are thinking of heading to a 90 minute snorkel trip with Gypsea Diver and then hoping to find a place for to camp out for a few hours in the afternoon. We are going peak time in December and 4 cruise ships will be in port so need to keep that in mind. We will have 2 kids and 4 adults who will want to buy food and only a few alcoholic drinks each plus lots of non alcoholic ones. We might want to rent paddleboards, kayaks, or parasail and we are comfortable paying for the rentals. I don't usually like the idea of all inclusive because we aren't there that long but am willing to pay a normal entrance fee or pay for a chair. Any thoughts? Jenn

Was considering a cruise that went here in December and it would be a new stop for us. We have been to many of the other cruise line private islands. How does it compare? What are the best things to do there? How is the sand/beach area? What about paddleboards/kayaks? I was thinking the water temps might be warmer than the Bahamas type islands which is a huge perk in Dec. Jenn

Thanks to everyone! Jenn

I've been looking at Norweigan Joy as a possible cruise in December and everytime I look the rates include unlimited drink packages, wifi, etc. We aren't big drinkers ( traveling with 2 kids) and it looks like even with a free drink package I am paying 100's in gratuities for the drink package which is probably more than I would spend anyway. Trying to avoid wifi also, want to relax. Was hoping to buy a cruise fare that is lower in rate but "cruise only" and we buy the few drinks we trully want. Is that likely to be offered or is that not typical? Any thoughts? We are regular cruisers, just not usually Norweigan. Jenn
