Creator's Key Takeaways

I was very shocked to know that we were going on a coach pass offsite to our Excursion because from everything that I had read it said that most of the excursions for costaa are right there within the port

this part of the Excursion was actually very well done it was very well run um and we enjoyed learning how to make it

I would say it was about a six maybe a 6 and 1/2 that's pushing it 6 and 1/2

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the 9:00 AM tour option instead of 10:30 AM to have more time to return to the port
If you have young kids, consider skipping the beach break to save time

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing the ship due to excursion timingBook the earlier tour option and trust that the cruise line will wait for official excursions, but don't rely on it
Not enough time at the beachSkip the beach break if you have young kids or want more time; focus on the salsa and guacamole making

YouTube Video Description

All I wanted to do was make some guacamole and salsa with my family and come back to the ship! Instead, our excursion ended with us running to catch the ship because we were 15 mins late for our all aboard time 😳 😬 In this video I give a full review of the 🇲🇽 Mexican Salsa Experience and Beach Break excursion that we booked through Royal Caribbean.
