Creator's Key Takeaways

Unless there is an outrageous price difference, I'm team convenience and of course, team safety.

I wouldn't want to find a ride by myself in Mexico just for the chance to save about $20.

With the escort from the ship to the meeting location and the ride on the air conditioned coach, this excursion was comfortable and stressfree.

To me, this was worth the price difference.
