For anyone that did the cruise or knows of people that did the cruise in 2005 - what excursions did you/they do? What did you/they like and what didn't you/they like?
Okay, I'll start!
These are the excursions we did in 2005.
Paradise Beach Adventure (4 hours)
Paradise found! A ride of approximately 20 minutes takes you to the beautiful Paradise Village Beach Resort in Nuevo Vallarta, where you'll be welcomed with a complimentary cocktail. Then you're free to simply relax on the beach or explore and enjoy the resort's many offerings, including a swimming pool with two waterslides, underwater caves and Mayan- style pyramids to explore. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, and ocean kayaks are included, and children and families can enjoy beach volleyball and other activities, or visit the resort's resident spider monkeys, lions and tigers. Snacks and lunch items are available for an additional charge. It's a half-day of fun before the approximate 20-minute ride back to the ship.
Adult Price: $38 Excursion Reserved for 7:40am time
Child Price: $22
Departure Times: 7:40 am, 12:40 pm
Mazatlán Beach Escape (4 - 5.5 hours)
An all-around good time! Bring your swimsuit and beach gear for an excursion that takes you to the Mazatlan waterfront for fun in the sun and a memorable meal. It all starts with a scenic ride of approximately 20 minutes to Los Sabalos Resort, where a friendly escort will introduce you to the hotel's amenities, provide you with towels and a place to change for an afternoon of swimming, sunning and relaxing, including a delicious Mexican lunch. After 2.5 - 4 hours at the resort, you may choose from two departure times for the approximate 20-minute ride back to the ship.

Child Price: $39

Cabo Resort Pool Getaway (4.5 - 5 hours)
Totally cool! An approximate 10-minute ride takes you to the Finisterra Resort, one of Cabo San Lucas' premier beachfront resorts. Here, you'll have approximately 3.5 hours to swim in the resort's pools, stroll along the beach, and savor a hearty buffet lunch and two complimentary beverages. While swimming in the ocean is not permitted, you'll be able to enjoy the resort's sparkling pools or catch some rays on the beach. Children will also enjoy craft time, when they'll have a chance to paint traditional ceramic figurines to take home as souvenirs of their day of fun under the sun. Beach games, including volleyball and soccer, are also available, so get ready to have a ball! The ride back to the ship takes approximately 10 minutes.
For the safety of our guests, swimming in the ocean is not permitted due to varying tidal conditions. If you prefer a beach swim experience, you may choose the Cabo Beach Break excursion (CL-01).

Cabo San Lucas Sportfishing Excursion (5.5 - 6 hours)
Hook, line and sinker! This deep-sea fishing adventure will lure novices and seasoned anglers alike to one of the world's top sportfishing destinations. A 28-foot cabin cruiser will take you on an approximate 30-minute ride to a prime fishing spot. Here, the crew will rig fishing lines to trail lures; if fish strike, guests will have a chance to fight and reel in a fish from the fishing chair. A boxed lunch and beverages are included in your approximate 3.5-hour fishing expedition before the approximate 45-minute return to the pier.
The release of all billfish caught is mandatory. Cost of required Mexican fishing license is included; however, a customary tip of $5 - $10 per person is not included in the tour cost.
