Any recent Carnival Cruisers that have taken this excursion?

 

Would like to her some of the latest details, I did a search and it seems the last posts are a few years old??

 

Thanks !

My BF and I went on the Mini Speed Boat excursion last February. It was the highlight of our cruise for him. We are going to be back in Cozumel next week and he is still begging me to book it again.

 

The facility was quite and in great condition, very clean. The staff are fantastic, very helpful to those in the group that had difficulties with parts of the excursion. The pool had a wonderful swim up bar. Loungers were spread around the pool area for relaxation after the mini boats.

 

The mini boats were all in great condition and could really handle a beating. The tour leader guided us along the coastline, with another guide in the rear in case there were any problems (there were no mechanical problems on our trip). He was also the photographer for the trip. The guides do a great job walking you through the safety precautions, hand signals, ect. and practice them when first entering the boat.

 

We drove the coastline until we could see the cruise ships (30+/-) minutes, we were then given the opportunity to switch drivers (we didn't switch, he was enjoying himself way too much).

 

When we arrived back to the beach club there was an awesome hot lunch prepared (vegetarian options, as well) - everything was fantastic (included in excursion). After a few margaritas (not included in excursion price) we decided to venture down a small walking trail. The trail led to a small freshwater lagoon, complete with a sunbathing crocodile. He was as shocked as we were, nap time ruined!

 

I definitely recommend this excursion.

When we did this tour in early 2013, the beach was not very clean..it was not for swimming and the guide explained the situation when they have north wind. Pool was nice though but we wished the ocean was clean.

We had a great time with the boats but since you take a beating you don't realize it but the next morning it was really hard to move as our backs were really sore.
