We can book excursions at the various ports, etc. online but we have to make payments by calling 800-327-6700.

At the stop in Cozumel, there one excursion that Mary Kaye recommends that is not listed by Royal Caribbean. It is called Nachi Cocum. You can look it up online but it is $55 for the day and includes all the food you want and all the booze you want, plus gorgeous beaches, swimming pool and spa. We take a taxi and we get a taxi back in plenty of time to be back onboard. Contact Mary Kaye if you are interested.
