Hi all! First time cruiser here. This will also be my first time out of the US, so I'm trying to make everything as planned and organized as possible. I'm not too intrigued by the shore excursions through RC for Cozumel, and saw that some people recommended Nachi Cocum Beach Club. Would this be a good place for two adult first time cruisers? I'm taking my mom on this cruise, and we're looking for relaxing and quiet. 
Also, for booking, is going through their website the best option?
Thanks!

Very important to remember is that you need to bring a printed out copy of your confirmation email.  They are pretty low tech, and will not look you up if you forget it.  I know a few regulars who have managed to be without the confirmation, but they are people who are known by sight as they go so often. 
They will take your picture upon arrival and come around later to try to make you buy it - so be prepared for the hard sell on that.
We enjoyed our visit the one time we went.  We were with a large group - had most if not all of the resort - so it was not really a quiet relaxing day for people NOT in our group.  It's a pretty lively bunch ?  One of our two servers was really good - the other not so much, but we tipped accordingly at the end. 

Hello Morgan, 
Welcome to the message boards. Feel free to ask away with any questions you may have, there is a wealth of knowledge here. Nachi Cocum is an excellent beach club. Very clean, quiet and relaxing. For booking use their website. If you want loungers with a palapa (umbrella) near the water, just ask for it. Last year I asked for this right on the shoreline when I booked and that"s what we got. Have a great time! 

Thank you all for all of your suggestions and tips!! To answer a few people, the closest airports to me are either Charlottesville (CHO) or Richmond (RIC) in Virginia, and Richmond is the only one with a direct flight. I don't mind layovers, but I would prefer not to go through Atlanta, which is where I would have to go through for Southwest if they have the cheapest flights. 
 
Again, thank you for all of your help so far, I feel very welcomed and I can't wait to begin this journey!

Hi all! This is my first post, and I am planning my first cruise. To say I'm overwhelmed is an understatement, but I love planning vacations so I know everything will be fine. 
I have a couple questions, mainly related to the cruise I plan to take. I'm planning on going on the Adventure of the Seas on a 6 night Western Caribbean cruise April 5-11, leaving from Fort Lauderdale. First off, I've never travelled to a "vacation spot" during spring break, so when should I book flights? Currently I'm looking at $914 for 2 people to fly roundtrip from my location (JetBlue is the only direct flight for me), and I feel like I should wait, but I know y'all are probably the experts on when to book flights. My other question would be what are the best things to do on Adventure of the Seas? I do plan to head to the spa, but are there any hidden gems that people don't often talk about? 
And lastly, do you have any advice for a first time cruiser? Thanks!
