Horseback riding?

[Snowbuddy]

We will be in Cozumel in September via the Carnival Dream. My 8-yr-old daughter has her heart set on horseback riding this cruise...I know there is a Carnival excursion at this port for this. The minimum age is 9, though. Does anyone know if it will be a hard rule, or since she looks like she is older than she is anyway, will it not be a problem? Or does anyone have suggestions for other horseback riding options? TIA!

The cruise line will have her age from her passport, so you are unlikely to be able to fudge the difference.

 

I have seen horseback riding offered at Mr. Sanchos, but have never investigated the costs or restrictions. :confused:

 

Have a great cruise. :)

Minimum age with Mr. Sanchos is 5 at least that is what the minimum age is on the shore excursioneer website that books tours there. So she can ride if you book directly with them or through shoreexcursioneer. I'd skip booking through the cruise and book it myself.
