[grlzmom]

Hi, looking for yeahs and nays on Excaret.

Dh and I, no kiddos this trip, Western 9/13 would like to hear some feedback on this excursion.

And, did you do this excursion on your own or through DCL.

Thanks in advance for replies.

XCARET IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES IN THE WORLD! WE WENT A FEW TIMES..THE LAST WAS WHEN I WAS ON A CARNIVAL CRUISE. IM SURE DISNEY IS USING THE SAME COMPANY BECAUSE THE PEOPLE FROM THE OTHER SHIPS IN COZ WERE ON THE FERRY WITH US, THEN GETTING ON THE SAME BUS WITH "XCARET" WRITTEN ALL OVER THE BUS. THERE ARE UNDERWATER CAVES AND RIVERS THAT ARE AMAZING! THERE ARE GROTTOS THRUOUT THE PARK THAT YOU CAN JUST JUMP IN WITH HUGE COLORFUL FISH. THE SNORKELING BAY WAS CALM AND CLEAR WITH ALOT OF LIFE. FOOD WAS SERVED AT A BUFFET UNDER A HUT(REALLY GOOD FRUIT, SALADS, AND DRINKS). THE BEACH (IN MY OPINION )WAS NICER THAN WAIKIKI,THE KEYS, OR JUST ABOUT ANYWHERE. I REALLY LOVE THIS PLACE AND I TELL EVERYONE GOING TO CANCUN, PLAYA DEL CARMEN, OR COZUMEL THAT THEY NEED TO PLAN A DAY HERE. IT IS A LITTLE PRICEY, BUT WORTH IT. THEY ALSO HAVE A DOLPHIN SWIN AND/OR ENCOUNTER FOR A CHARGE. THE BAD NEWS....THE FERRY IS A ROUGH RIDE WHEN THERE ARE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST WAVES. PLAN TO TAKE SOMETHING IF YOU GET SEASICK. BAD NEWS AGAIN- IT TAKES TIME TO GET THERE. WE BARELY MADE IT BACK TO THE SHIP. THERE IS A BUS RIDE, THEN A FERRY RIDE, THEN A SHORT RIDE TO THE SHIP. IN OTHER WORDS, MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO BOOK THRU THE SHIP....THEY WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOU IF YOUR GROUP IS RUNNING LATE. WE WERE ALMOST LATE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE IN OUR SHIPS GROUP DIDNT WANT TO MEET AT THE TIME WE WERE TOLD TO BE AT THE ENTRANCE. I FREAKED NOT KNOWING THAT THE SHIP HAD TO WAIT. CHECK WITH DISNEY ON THEIR RULES, THOUGH. LIKE I SAID, I WAS ON CARNIVAL. IM SURE THAT YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!
