Good was good, alcohol that come with the boat is terrible unless you upgrade. They said it was a $300 fee to bring and open our own bottles. Staff on the ship was really good though.”

Cruise the Riviera Maya on a 60-foot yacht, snorkel Punta Venado with certified guides, and enjoy an open-bar lunch. 3 hours.

“Originally this was supposed to be a am tour and it turned into a pm 1 o'clock start. They said ihe time changed due to maintenance,however I did not believe them. The tour probably should have been cancelled due to bad weather as it was very choppy. The snorkel part lasted about 40 minutes and the rules made you feel like a little kid. We witnessed several people being reprimanded. They were very angry! After a rough ride back they served a lunch which was fine and the drinks were fine. All in all stay away from this tour as your bird dogged and treated like kids rather then adults..…”
