    Tips for a great experience at Playa Mia

    in Cozumel

    Posted

    Thanks so much. We are considering going there in May and were going to hesitantly do the beach pass plus buffet. Did you happen to have a picture of the menu for a la carte? I'd much rather that.
    Here's a picture of the menu I found on someone's review of Playa Mia. I had a copy of it bc were planning on going there and just ordering from the menu instead 9f doing the buffettapatalk_1521343271010.thumb.jpeg.c605d15278c2f38e70cd94d2c7ed660a.jpeg

    Pre arranged classic car tour OR arrange one after we walk off ship?

    Just back from cruise with two nights in Havana, March 16-18. Either way will work. While walking near the port we were often asked if we wanted a ride, but declined. We had our tour with Blexie prearranged. For $130 plus tip we had part walking, part driving from 10-4. They met us with a sign with our name across the street from the cruise port. Our guide was college educated teacher, making more money doing excursions. They took us everywhere we wanted to go, including a cigar factory (only to buy, you needed a ticket for a tour), Colon Cemetery, National Hotel, the John Lennon statue, Fusterlandia, and dropped us off at the Alcamenes craft market, which is walking distance back to the ship. In particular I was interested in local grocery stores to see how Cubans shop, and we were taken to several. Very small, just hole in the wall places for the most part, with a sign saying what was for sale and the price that day.

    I had researched and e-mailed several companies beforehand, including Tours with Blexie, Fertours, Nosotros Cubeamos.....Blexie had the best price ($130 car and driver all day), and were willing to be very flexible. We even decided to skip lunch because of eating too much on cruise!

    What did you do on your second day? We're there for two days have a tour through Blexie for the first day but looking for second day options.

    First time traveling to Amber Cove, advice warranted!

    We are avid cruisers & have been to all of the ports you're heading too at least once. You'll love them (& CCL Glory)!

     

    No offense to anyone that enjoy cruise line tours but we prefer smaller private tours with highly rated tour companies found through Tripadvisor, Cruise Critic or ShoreExcursioneer. We've had fabulous experiences with:

     

    St Thomas: Sonny Liston Tours

     

    Amber Cove: Marysol Tours

     

    Grand Turk: Zoom Zoom ATVs (may have changed their name) & LOVE Jack's Shack beach day.

     

    San Juan: Old San Juan tours incl fort via taxi tour or free OSJ trolley

    The tour through Marysol Tours on Amber Cove, did you have to prepay for that or pay a deposit? I was hoping to book but was wanting to pay cash for it when we arrived.
