Hi. We set sail in one week on the Icon of the Seas sailing the Western Caribbean. The family is super excited and we've never been to the Western Caribbean. We're stopping in Roatan, Puerto Costa Maya, and Cozumel. I tried searching for threads on these three locations but couldn't find any as it seemed to focus on the Grand Cayman Islands so hoping to ask for some assistance here.
We're interested in booking some excursions and hoping to get people's feedback, tips, suggestions, etc on what might be best to do in these three ports. I've looked at the available excursions and here are my thoughts. I'd love to get your feedback.
Roatan - Our family loves monkeys so I'm thinking of booking one of the Monkey and Sloth excursions. It seems that they have multiple versions of the basic excursion so aside from the obvious animal included in the excursion, can someone with experience in the excursion explain what is the main difference from one to the other? If this isn't a good excursion to pick, what do you suggest?
Puerto Costa Maya - I'd like to book the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins for this port. We've never been and the kids have learned about the Mayan Ruins so when I mentioned it to them, they were pretty excited. Again, they have multiple versions of excursions that visit the ruins. Is there one that is better than the other or just pick the cheapest one? If this excursions isn't a good one to go to, please let me know what you suggest.
Cozumel - I'm thinking of booking a swim with the dolphin experience. Again, there are multiple versions of this excursions and the description doesn't really help to clarify exactly what is different from one offering to the next. If anybody can help clarify, I would appreciate it. Again, if this isn't a good excursion, what do you recommend instead?
Thanks.
