We did the Xcaret trip ($51 adults, $31 kids) and had a GREAT time. By the way, if you purchase this trip at Xcaret instead of a shore excursion, you can really save money on the kids’ fares, but not the adults – I believe gate prices were $48 and maybe $21. My only question was whether the shuttle was included free. The shuttle to the part took 10 minutes. We pulled into port around 9am, they let people off the ship at about 9:30. We waited for the crowds to go down and caught the shuttle around 10:30. We stayed in Xcaret about 5 hours and then headed back to the ship. While we were at Xcaret, we had lunch in one of the restaurants – it was pretty pricey but the food was really good – loved the Coconut Shrimp. We also bought some beers and snacks at a kiosk in the park – really pricey so I’d recommend bringing your own snacks and water. That evening, we took a $10 taxi into Playa Del Carmen (each way). This port is very poor, but we did find much better liquor prices there than in Cozumel. We spent about an hour shopping and then headed back to the ship.
