melmar02 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just found the Lost Mayan Kingdom listed in shore excursions on our Halloween cruise. The park's Facebook page says they are reopening this summer, no update on their website yet - when you click on their "Book Now" link it takes you to an inactive 404 page.

melmar02 Posted June 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just as a comparison, Thrill Waterpark on the same cruise is less expensive. ChessE4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 I am on Wonder for the October 22-29 sailing later this year and will be visiting Costa Maya. I actually just booked this today for me, my wife, and my daughter, without any issues. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomcat1771 Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I was just able to book this through Royal for our Voyager on July 24-29. The option wasn’t there just 3 days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrinkm Posted July 1, 2023 Report Share Posted July 1, 2023 I haven't been to the waterpark at Coco Cay but from what I've read about it, you get a lot more at the Mayan Lost Kingdom waterpark. One thing I really enjoyed is that you can take an elevator up to the waterslides. There is also a whole zipline course (in addition to the waterslides which were fantastic). There's a decent pool there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option wasn’t there just 3 days ago. We were in Costa Maya yesterday, and was talking to one of the locals there. He said they were working on getting the Mayan Lost Kingdom water park up and running soon, and was planning on offering free entry for the locals ONLY as a test to make sure everything worked properly, and then plan on allowing paying customers in. He wasn't sure of the official opening date, but it appears to be sooner than later if others are seeing it available in the cruise planner! tomcat1771 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Alright, so I'm sailing Wonder on October 22 this year. I had this waterpark booked. However, I noticed yesterday that the price went down and I could save $38 for the three of us. I canceled my excursion, and come to find out that this excursion isn't even showing on the cruise planner anymore. I went to my order history on the cruise planner and it says sold out. I contacted guest services and they said I will have to wait until I'm onboard to book or for other people to cancel. Has anyone ever had this happen before? I really don't understand how it can be sold out after I just canceled. It should've freed up three spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos A. Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I think it was sold out before you canceled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense to me though, because: 1) If I canceled that should theoretically free up 3 spots, right? 2) The excursion isn't even showing on the main cruise planner website anymore.

melmar02 Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 @Jeremy L. perhaps you were repricing as they were canceling the excursion? It was listed for my 10/31 cruise, and now it is also no longer showing up. If I was Royal, I would have pulled them all when they first got notice that the water park would not be open yet too. I'm sure RC doesn't want to take the blame for canceling a bunch of excursions last minute. The water park is completely unresponsive on Facebook, and I'm willing to bet they won't have a firm reopen date until they are purely doing cosmetic work. Contractors here are on their own timeline...add a touch of island time to that and the uncertainty increases exponentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the booking does come back up I'm going to be a little salty if I can't get it at the same price. I had already rebooked it once because the price had dropped.

Lucky Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 According to the comments on their Facebook post, they opened on July 25th. However, it still sounds like some people had their excursions canceled yet they were able to walk to the waterpark and buy a ticket.

Moorean32 Posted August 25, 2023 Report Share Posted August 25, 2023 This excursion has been closed since before Covid. This is why their website gives you a 404 error when attempting to buy tickets. For some reason, Royal Caribbean still lets you purchase tickets as an excursion. Then, when you get closer to your cruise date, (1-2 weeks away) you’ll get an email saying the excursion has been cancelled and to expect a refund.

cdixon22 Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 We did this water park pre-Covid and really enjoyed. The zip lines were awesome and the slides were high. We will definitely do again next time in Costa Maya. There was a shuttle running back and forth to the port as well so you could go back for lunch if you wanted.
