Magic 6/15 Mexican Riviera: Shore Activities

[AttilaTheHun]

Hi, Thank you for the great report. We're going on the 20th of July for our very first cruise. Just a quick question. What documents did you have to carry with you when you went to the ports? Passport? etc., also did you have it in a water proof bag/belt/carrier?? Do they ask to see them before you get off the ship and before you can get back on? No one asked these questions yet but, since this is our first time I am not sure what to carry with us.

Thanks,

Photo ID and Key to the World card are required when you get off at port. They remind you numerous times. We have a waterproof box on a lanyard that we bought in one of the store on the Magic that we keep all of those important cards and money.

Thanks for the great info. It's nice to know you can do some things on your own it work out well. I'm looking for more of those for Cabo and for Aruba.

Thanks for sharing!

Have a super day!

I would think MIL and FIL would be OK, as there are quite a few places they can just sit and relax. If you make a point to be some of the first people off the boat, you come to a pleasant sitting area right off the dock that is a little elevated from the beach and has umbrellas. One thing to keep in mind is that even though they wouldn't have to walk forever in the sand (the beach area itself is rather small) the place is cut into a hillside, and there are a good number of steps and pathways that go up and down. I'm not saying it's like walking all day on a tour, but if they do have trouble with walking on difficult terrain, it might be an issue of having to take it pretty slow. It's definitely a place they can sit and relax; you could be as sporty or non-sporty as you want there. They can also hang out in the shaded bar areas, which are also very pretty and relaxing.

Have a great time!

Do you think a 5 and 3 year old would have enough to do on this trip. I booked this excursion and I am hoping they can play on the beach.

I do think there's enough to do. The time really flew by for us. It was time to get back on the boat before we knew it. DD is 5, and she had as good a time as anybody. Highlights for her were floating on an inner tube in the surf (which is pretty mild), pretending she was Ariel washed up on the beach, collecting rocks, and especially the animal encounters. She can be a little timid, but she was right there to hold the monkey and the little bird. She didn't hold the big owl (those talons, you know), but she did get close as DH held it. She also loved the food, and she can be very picky.

So yes, I think they'll have a ball. It's a small beach, but very pretty and very nice.

Have a blast!!!

Thanks for responding! I think it is the right fit for us!
