Brissie45 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Hi Everyone We are booked on 2 back to back cruises on the Icon of the Seas in September 24. We have 2 kids (6&7) - they are full of energy, love an adventure and are good swimmers. We are all so excited as this is our first cruise. My husband and I have backpacked through Mexico to Panama and South America 10 years ago, so we have some experience. We have booked the following shore excursions - Roatan - MJ attractions - Little French key full + Monkeys and sloth park Costa Maya - Bacalar and 7 Colors Lagoon Cozumel - Fury Catamaran Snorkel & Beach Break St Maarten - AM 4x4 Dune Buggy and Maho Beach / PM Catamaran Sail and Snorkel St Thomas - St. John Trunk Bay Beach Escape Perfect Day - booked 1 day with Thrill Pass I would love to hear any feedback/ concerns or experience with kids for these picks. Roatan - this is our only externally booked tour, as we wanted beach and sloths - are you back to the ship well before sail time? St Maarten - hard to pick which one to keep? or do both? is this even possible? St Thomas - husband really wanted to do the cable chair and the pirates museum - is this do-able with a tour? Any help from experience would be amazing and appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan79 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I wouldn’t personally attempt 2 excursions. Delays happen and there is no super urgency with “am” excursions to rush you back to the ship on time. If you run late miss your pm excursion, you are going to eat that cost 100%. No refund or credit. Also during your am excursion, you are going to worry about the time and not fully enjoy the excursion. Ask me how I know this!

Brissie45 Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 Thanks for the advice We'll probably ditch the PM excursion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChessE4 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 I would consider replacing Lake Bacalar with Chacchoben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
