Creator's Key Takeaways

we did an Excursion where we went cave tubing and ziplining one of the best excursions we've ever done

if you book through the cruise line the ship will wait for you if you book through that third party the ship's not gonna wait for you

we typically never book excursions through the cruise line in Cozumel because there's so much to do there and we love those Beach Clubs

make sure you have a way to tell the time this is a fun one if you're going snorkeling go to the buffet and get a little box of Cheerios

βœ“Book excursions in advance through the cruise line if they might sell out
