Questions about caribbean princess excursions

[metsmom]

Hi!

We will be leaving on Sunday aboard the Caribbean Princess and our first port is Cozamel, Mexico. There is an excursion listed for Playa Mia Beach Break and Lunch($75.95 ea.) which includes bus ride then 4 hours on the Island which includes a International Buffet and domestic "Open Bar". We were just curious if anyone has taken this excursion and could tell us about it. Is the food decent at the buffet and is the "Open Bar" available for the whole 4 hours you are there or just certain times? Can you order only certain mixed drinks? There is a very similiar one listed for Passion Island in Cozamel that looked good too. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! :)

You will have a much better time if you can book a spot at Mr. Sanchos or Nachi Cocum through a third party supplier.

Did Passion Island TWICE! The best one is when we did the Twister boat ride to Passion Island. The lunch was fine- I liked it, DH liked it. The bar was good- Sorry Can't help much with Playa Mia Beach Break- but we sure enjoyed Passion Island.

The food is indeed good with Mexican choices just don't expect Tex-Mex like you find in the states. Take note that DOMESTIC drinks (read well drinks) with an opportunity to buy top shelf drinks. The choices are limited so don't expect to order a dry martini. The bar is open the entire time. The trip is really good but there are better choices.

I know its a bit late but we did this excursion thru RCI and it was awesome!!! They wait on you hand and foot...there is masseuse should you want a massage under the palm trees, a photographer to capture the excursion (you get a couple poses and its placed in one of those paper frames marked Cozumel...and of the course the open bar is just that ...OPEN. They have 3 "attendants" that will get you what ever you desire...we even got the recipe for both Mexican sangria's they serve ....and lastly the beach was beautiful and the water was warm and clear....we are actually thinking of doing it again in November.... :D

I would look up the reviews on trip advisor. Going in a few weeks on the same cruise and decided on Mr Sancho's for $50 all inclusive and they have good reviews. You can buy passes when you arrive I think it's $55 at the club.
