Question Excursion Planning! HELP!

Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to plan my excursions for my 3/3 cruise to Cozumel & Costa Maya on the Splendour of the Seas. I'll be traveling with my boyfriend & it will be his first cruise.

I was hoping people would have some recommendations for either Costa Maya or Cozumel. I've always booked excursions through the ship, but if you highly recommend an independent, I'd be willing to try it! As for types, we're up for a variety, whether the beach, a party boat, snorkeling, kayaking & maybe even something we haven't thought of before!

Anything advice would be more than appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Bethany.
We just did the swim with the dolphins in Cozumel through RC ships. It was absolutely the highlight of our cruise.

Definitely do the swim with dolphins in Cozumel.

Costa Maya -- take a ruins tour if you have never seen any Mayan ruins - wonderful.

Wow! You have two great ports stops!

We especially love Costa Maya and going to Majahaul (the little fishing village). A report on our FUN there is posted in the Mexico section here on CLF:

Have a wonderful time planning your cruise!

Here's something you might want to check out -

CLF has a section called CRUISE RESOURCES that has links to web sites about cruising. These are divided into 10 different categories. One of the categories is EXCURSIONS.

You can also do a search to find just what you want.

LINK TO CRUISE RESOURCES HERE or just click on the cruise resources tab on the left of the page.
