Hi there, I just got off the Wonder on Friday from the 5 night Mexico cruise. Just wanted to warn people about the Lands End/Beach Break excursion. The boat ride from the port takes about 30 minutes, like 15 minutes there and back. You essentially leave the harbor, turn around at the Arch (just outside the harbor) and then go back into port. It was pretty lame for the price. I was expecting real boat ride, not a giant tug boat that goes 5 mph and doesn't leave the harbor. The glass bottom boats were cruising past us and taking extended tours of the shore line and seemed to be having a great time. Another friend booked the snorkeling tour and said they saw sea turtles and all sorts of awesome stuff on a real catamaran ride in the ocean. If you are looking for that, do not take this excursion. Once we got back to the ship, we were taken to a resort for the beach break. Your drinks only include 2 sodas or 2 beers, each in a small cup. The food was amazing, but you are also sharing the resort with the hotel guests so getting a waiter to take your order was difficult. I had to sit behind some older resort guests who complained about being around children non-stop in extremely loud voices. The resort guests were quite rude.
I guess for what I paid for the excursion I wish I had done more research on getting a glass bottom boat on my own and taking it to Medano Beach myself. It would have been cheaper and probably a better experience.
