Things to Know About Mexican Cruise Shore Excursions
OK. Click here for that great Mexican Riviera cruise deal and you'll be off on
your Mexican Riviera Cruise before you know it!
Now youre wondering just what to do and what to expect, how to prepare. Here
are tips and advice to help you get ashore and have fun!
Shore Excursions
Remember that shore excursion expenses are typically not included in the fare.
Expect to pay $20-100+ for shore excursions.
If you are elderly or have a handicap, you may not be able to go ashore at
some ports. Check with the cruise line.
Check with the activity director or physician about where to eat onshore. Some
food items and beverages, especially water, may be off limits.
To explore a city more in depth or to see an aspect of it not included in the
fare, consider traveling on your own rather than with a tour group.
Book shore excursions as soon as possible after boarding ship.
You aren't likely to be covered under a ship's insurance if you explore on
your own. Check the details of your ship's policy beforehand.
During a shore excursion, always carry identification, the name of your ship
and its docked location. Take a photocopy of your passport and your Mexican
Tourist Card with you as well.
If you explore on your own, it up to you to get back to the departure point on
time. If you miss a launch, you'll have to meet your Mexican Riviera cruise ship
at the next port - at your expense.
Leave valuables, excess cash and unneeded credit cards aboard.
Guides may give you badges to wear for identification, but bear in mind these
identifiers only make it easier for shop keepers and any would-be thieves to
target you.
Also, there is nothing that raises prices and reduces your bartering
power more than a Mexican Riviera cruise ship badge!
