Creator's Key Takeaways

we really locked out on a few things that made this experience a lot better and regretted two things that I really wish I researched beforehand

this was estrous activity so don't overlook the labels that come with these excursions

we saved $180 for the four of us however if you are booking through a third party I would highly recommend using a provider that has a back to ship guarantee

βœ“Do your research before booking an excursion to avoid being unprepared
βœ“Bring spare older shoes and a rain jacket for the rainy season
βœ“Check the number of ships in port to avoid long lines at the ruins

YouTube Video Description↓

We visited Chacchoben Mayan Ruins in Cost Maya, Mexico on our recent Harmony Of The Seas cruise. We booked it last minute, while we were already on the ship so I haven’t done any research. Thankfully, we really lucked out on a few things that made the experience a lot better and regretted two things that I really wish I researched beforehand. We chose the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins, which is the most frequently visited site about 50 minutes from the port. In this video, I also compare Chacchoben vs. Kahunlich Mayan Ruins excursions. The excursion was great and I would definitely recommend it but make sure you know about these things beforehand so you don’t go unprepared like we did. πŸ‘‰ Link to the excursion we took (affiliate) - https://pe.tours/MTI2MDYxMg==/ πŸ‘‰ Check to see how many ships are in port on any day (not affiliate) - https://www.cruisetimetables.com/#portsmouthfc πŸ›³οΈ πŸ›³οΈ πŸ›³οΈ See our current list of available reduced group rates for Icon Class and other ships - https://cruiseandtravelnetwork.com/ πŸ›³οΈ πŸ›³οΈ πŸ›³οΈ πŸ‘‰ A lot more content coming.
