Fiesta Boat Party

This would have to be one complaint I had about the ports of call. You have to get up so early!!! No worries though – if you’re on a lower deck, you will definitely be awakened by the docking process. =) We had intended on taking the Fiesta Boat Party excursion offered through Carnival. However, the boat was cancelled on account of choppy waters due to the hurricane. So we instead switched out excursion to the Playa Mia Beach Break (the original planned stop on the Fiesta Boat). All drinks were included. And for the trouble, we were reimbursed immediately for the Fiesta Boat, and not charged for the Beach Break, however it was $14 for a cab each way. Playa Mia was very nice. If you were on the Carnival Beach Break excursion, however, you had to go to a specific bar for your free drinks. Not a big deal – just pick a chair near it! The cups were small, but you could take two at a time, and there was staff constantly picking up empty cups. This was a little more structured than Costa Maya, since it was a beach resort, so you could also get rafts and kayaks for the water, or rent wave runners. There was a rock climbing wall, and some bungee cord thing, and some entertainment for the kids. Food at the bar was good too, and not overly expensive. The water was definitely a little rough because of the storm coming, but still warm and nearly turquoise in color! We took the cab back a little early, so we could spend some time at Fat Tuesdays. What a crazy place! We even made friends with some other people who were sailing on Carnival Miracle, who happened to be diverted to Cozumel that day as well.
