  1. We recently took the ship excursion to Chichen itza because of the distance you must travel to reach the ruins. We got back to the ship with plenty of time to spare. The trip is 2 1/2 hours hours each way including the ferry ride. We had two hours at the ruins which I thought wasn't enough time at first but found it plenty of time to see everything. The first 45 minutes our

    guide gave us a narrated guided tour which was very informative. I highly reccomend the tour if seeing the ruins are an priority.

     

    What time did you get back to the ship? I want to be able to check out Cozumel shops after the tour before reboarding. How many people were on the tour? Was it only RCI or did they combine with other cruise ship passengers? Did you pack food for the long drive? Do I need to bring my passport?

  2. Has anyone booked Chichen Itza excursion online for sail date 9/7/14 on the Allure? We would like to but unable to see that excursion offered on RCI's website. We called RCI but the rep couldn't find that excursion either. So we emailed cruise planner and the reply said it MAY offer but they are in the process of updating RCI website and to keep checking back. The sail date is in 56 days.

     

    I find it odd that the cruise planner does not know. How am I suppose to book this sail date without knowing if I can go to Chichen Itza?

  3. If you have done this excursion with RCI, how many people were there and were all the people from the same ship? Do I need to bring mosquito/bug repellant? Can I bring my own food/drink in the ruins even though the tour operator may provided food already? Should I bring/wear my swimsuit as we might be go swimming? Do I need to bring cash with me for other transportation fees? Did you pre-book online?

  4. It will be my first time in Falmouth. Does anyone have a decent map of the place. I will be on the Allure. Also, if you have a map of Cozumel that would also be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  5. Has anyone flown out of FLL with Spirit Airlines after disembarking on Allure or Oasis? If so, were you able to print boarding passes on the ship for this airline?

     

    We are debating whether to attempt an EXTEMELY early 7:45am flight after getting off the Allure. Our plan is to print boarding passes the day before on the ship, carry our 2 luggage off the ship at 6:15am, be one of the first at customs, grab a taxi to the FLL airport, go thru airport security, and be at boarding gate by 7am. We REALLY want to fly out in the morning and all the other flights are in the afternoon.

     

    In the past, we had a 8:45am flight on SWA. We got off the Oasis at 6:30am and arrived at the airport at 7:15am. We ended up waiting 1 hour to board our flight.
