The port was very nice and just the right size to explore. We did the Historic Walking Tour and the Snorkeling Safari. Our walking tour guide did a great job telling us about the history of the island, present day life, etc.Our snorkeling excursion was a blast! The coral was lovely and our snorkeling guide was very friendly and funny.

We did the Chukka River Tubing Safari. The water was smooth and the few rapids we went over were tiny but fun. The guide was also friendly and talkative while we floated along the river. The length of this excursion was just right.

The dolphin swim was fun but went by fast. It was worth the money and the instructors were nice.

The sting ray excursion was amazing! We got pictures taken with a sting ray (we got to hold it, etc) and took lots of videos of them swimming around us. The guides who took us to see the sting rays were all nice and the boat ride to and from the sandbar was enjoyable.

We took Tulum Mayan Ruins Express excursion which was fantastic. We boarded a ferry that took us from Cozumel over to Playa del Carmen Mexico. The ferry ride on the way there was bad....it was really rocking back and forth and lots of people got sick. We sat on the lower level of the ferry which was enclosed by windows (which were not open) so it was hot, stuffy and smelled. After we got to Playa del Carmen we took a coach bus to the Tulum ruins site. Our guide was great and his name was Jesus. On the bus he shared a large amount of interesting information about Mexico and what we were going to be seeing on the tour. We were then provided with headsets to wear once we got off the bus. The head sets were light and good quality. The purpose of wearing them was so we could hear him talking no matter how far or close we were to him while we walked around the site in a group. During the tour he also told us an abundance of interesting information regarding the Mayans and the ruins that we were looking at. We then got free time to look at the ruins and to shop at some local artisan booths back by the bus pick up spot. There is not enough time to do all of both so you need to do one or the other. Our guide did a great job making sure everyone was informed about where to meet after the tour, etc and provided such clear instructions throughout the tour which helped make it very enjoyable. On the way back we got a boxed lunch on the bus courtesy of the cruise ship. Once we got back onto the ferry we made sure this time to sit on the top level where there were no windows. It was a million times better even though the boat was still rocking back and forth. 

On our very first day we were supposed to have a shuttle bus take us and our luggage from the Orlando airport to the cruise ship (courtesy of RC).NOT ONCE did the RC staff member in charge of taking us from the ship to the shuttle bus come to find us and see what was holding us up.
