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.

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.

This is a wonderful excursion! We had time afterwards to go to the beach at Majahual. Check out my photos.
