Party On Sailing Cruise to Isla Mujeres from Cancun

Posted By : Damilola_A
This was my best boat cruise ever. The boat was well maintained, crew was amazing, they made sure we had a good time. The stops on the way werw well planned. We had an all you can eat buffet, I was able to get a massage (extra cost). The drinks were non-stop, and tasted good. I'll recommend to anyone in Cancun, it's worth it.

The way they advertised and put photos for snorkeling was completely deceiving. They went to the middle of the sea where high tides and strong wind were present and told us to jump into the sea and swim. We hadn't booked for swimming and we had enough of swimming in our resort. They should have taken us to calm waters where marine exit and let us have a true snorkeling experience. This was an obvious cheating

The trip was great from start to finish. The food was excellent and the booze was plentiful. All the people who made it possible were so much fun.

They max out seating and exaggerate this trip that it includes parasailing, peoples statues beneath the water through snorkeling, isla mujeres time to explore, open bar and buffet on Isla mujeres for an amazing price!!

EVERYBODY on out tour were pissed!! They try to upgrade charge u for a better boat, adults only and a golf cart tour on Isla mujeres. So here is my families honest review and probably everybody else on our boat and other people we spoke to on other boats they owned!!

PROS:
Buffet was pretty good
Boat employees are great
CONS:
Open bar was beer and juices and primarily pushed on return back to Cancun not on way over.
Snorkeling was a joke!, we dropped anchor so far from statues, which werent true statues we were told but 2 hand sculptures. Most passengers couldnt even make it to statues before exhaustion. No time to snorkel because were rushed back to boat and people needed help back because they had anchored so far away!! Waste and we all agreed.
Paid $30 to port of Isla Mujeres and had to be back on boat in 25 minutes so ur stuck at port gift shop because anything else would be short on time.
We then go to other side of island for Buffett. Only good thing. We opted for golf cart tour. Complete waste as it did a circle which lasted 30 minutes truly because its a gimmick and every boat coming in makes it a quick turn around. Everybody was pissed. We saw a lighthouse and really about it. Then we wait 2.5 hrs for boat to pick us up because their off shuttling other passengers around on other trips and they got caught by weather.
IF THEY HAD SAID THIS TRIP GETS U TO ISLA MUJERES AMD OPEN BAR AND WILL PICK UP 4 HRS LATER U WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLORE ISLAND. Its a big scam and pumping music and encouraging drinking doesnt make up for every guest being pissed and most never tipped the poor guys who have nothing to do with this disorganized pump out passenger qty and profits!! This all true and it ruined anymore excursions we will do with these companies. Every pax on boat said same thing!!

We missed our first schedule trip and Monica was so helpful with getting us on another charter and no cost at all. Monica was very helpful and friendly. The boating staff was excellent as well. Very friendly cheerful and Vibrant. Our host was awesome as well he was the life of the party. I can not remember his name but I know it begins with an E. I had so much fun.

As advertised. Great crew and very fun experience. No complaints at all. We couldn’t go to playa Norte but we did swim nearby. Beach club beach was visually nice but the sand in the water soft and muddy. Overall it was a great time.

I began this review upon my return and had to immediately stop typing it. This experience was more traumatizing than I realized.

I booked Viator “Party On Sailing Cruise to Isla Mujeres from Cancun” via the internet for Friday, June 21, 2019, while staying at Breathless Resort in Cancun.

Myself and 4 others took an-hour private car ride to the Viator's location which was suppose to be at the marina at “Hotel Temptations” from Breathless, which wasn’t at Hotel Temptations after all. The driver could not find the location. He had to come to a complete stop and pull over to call for assistance to find the marina to join this so called "Party on Sailing Cruise."

The website request that you arrive by 9:15 a.m. for the 10:00 a.m. departure. Once we arrived at the location at 9:00 a.m. where we were to board the catamaran, we were greeted by sales people who told our driver to pick us back up at 5:00 p.m. Prior to checking us in, the up sale began. We signed waivers and were finally checked in. We paid $59.99 (U.S.) via the internet to book this “Party on Sailing Cruise.” We were asked if we wanted to pay more for a luxury private cruise, which we elected not to because we felt with fewer people, perhaps it wouldn't be as much fun.

We were asked if we had biodegradable sunscreen, which we had never heard of. We were informed that we could not snorkel if we didn’t have biodegradable sunscreen because it would kill the coral reef and marine life, which we did not have. We were directed to the store next door that sold a small bottle of biodegradable sunscreen for $20 (U.S.).

We were directed to a line in 100-degree heat to pay the additional $13 taxes and to receive an orange bracelet for boarding the catamaran. They claimed not to have U.S. dollars if one needed change. And if you used a credit card, there was an additional $5 charge, per person.

Afterwards, we were instructed to walk down to the beach where we would be given further instructions.

As we stood underneath this little tent for those that could fit, while waiting to board the "party" all-adult catamaran at 10:00 a.m., they offered water, juice, cookies, more selling of biodegradable sunscreen, phone covers, hats, glasses, etc.

We boarded the catamaran at 10:00 a.m. We suddenly realized we were going to be in 100-degree heat without any sun protection. We couldn’t stand up. It was shoulder-to-shoulder adults. The catamaran was uncovered and one had to find a spot to sit. If you were lucky, you found a shady spot. I found a spot underneath the sail where the WINCH HANDLE fell and just missed hitting me in the head. No safety instructions were provided. The ride took an hour in the hot sun.

They offered snorkeling at “beautiful coral reefs.” You were told you would also see an underwater museum. Those who snorkeled did so in what looked like a “chain-gang.” You were informed, if you snorkeled and couldn’t withstand the entire duration, you could not get back on the catamaran because you were dropped off and had to swim to meet the catamaran. There were so many others in the water at that drop off location that you couldn’t enjoy the experience. There was no museum nor were there beautiful coral reefs.

While on the catamaran, they offered an additional excursion for $30 to ride golf carts once we reached the downtown destination.

The website stated than an “open bar” is included. They offered two (2) choices of mixed drinks that they served you while on the catamaran.

After an hour in the scorching heat, we reached the buffet lunch destination on a small overcrowded beach with several restaurants, bars and shopping.

The buffet was tasty. We were told we would be there until 4:00 p.m.!!! I went to get a drink at the bar only to find a couple of options unless you had on a silver bracelet. Why weren’t we informed of this during the “up selling?” That was very disappointing.

I couldn’t believe we were going to be on this crowded beach until 4:00 p.m. with very little to do.

We called our driver to inform him that 5:00 p.m. was no longer the time that we would return. Everyone was shocked!!! We told him to pick us up at 7:00 p.m. as we were instructed by the disorganized guide.

I decided to venture out to find things to do to pass the time for four (4) more hours. I went to sit on a beach chair only to find if I wasn’t wearing a silver bracelet, I could not. One couldn’t do anything without the silver bracelet that no one mentioned or informed us about.

I went back to the guide and asked if he could find me a private boat to go back to the marina and I would pay the cost. Thirty minutes later, I went back to him for an update. He told me a boat would arrive at 4:00 p.m. that would take me back!

I went and sat at a covered restaurant to wait out the four (4) hours! At 1:50 p.m. my intuition told me to go check out what others were doing. As I was walking back to the lunch destination, folks that came over with me on the catamaran were in a frenzy. I asked what was going on. They informed me that the guide told them that there was a change of plan, we were leaving in 10 minutes at 2:00 p.m.!!! OMG!!! I said this is crazy. What if I hadn’t listened to my gut? I would have been left there not knowing what to do. Where I was sitting, the guide would never have found me. That is what I’m still in shock about to this very day. Lost in Mexico and do not speak Spanish! They left three (3) people!!! That could have been me! I have nightmares about it!

We got on another boat to take us downtown. Fortunately I found a shaded area on this boat.

When we arrived downtown at the pier, the disorganized guide told those who were going on the golf carts to line up. I chose not to drive golf carts on a busy street. I have enough with daily rush hour. The guide said those who were not going on the golf carts could go to a building with orange and green colors behind the white building we were facing and they would have restrooms, free water and tastings for us. We searched and searched. One place we found did let us taste a few tequilas for sale. No restroom or free water. They wanted $10 for water. So we found a restaurant and ordered margaritas to hold us over until it was time to re-board.

We were told to be back at the pier at 4:00 p.m. When we arrived, the guide was scrambling, scratching his head and on the phone. I asked, “Where is the boat?” He said he was calling to find out because he didn’t know why it wasn’t there. I told him this was the worst experience ever for what was suppose to be “thrilling!”

Finally the boat arrived! Our 3rd boat on this horrific experience! It was a covered boat, which is what we should have experienced from the beginning!

Once we boarded the final boat, I asked were they going to provide any safety instructions. The disorganized guide said “no.” I then asked where were the lifejackets in case of emergency. He pointed them out to me.

Then the music began. Finally, there was a bar. The guide began pouring a bottle of what looked like tequila in folks mouth. Everyone seemed to be having a good time after the horrible day we had experienced.

One of the guys on the boat began dancing with the tourists. Then he asked me to dance, which I did. He pulled me close. He got an erection. He then informed me that he was horny and wanted sex. I told him I was old enough to be his mother. He said he didn’t care. I sat down. Due to no safety instructions and I knew folks would get drunk, I elected not to drink so I could stay situationally aware in the event something happened. Some of the guests were drunk and falling down, still the guide poured more alcohol in their mouths.

I was elated to finally return back to the marina from wince this horrific experience began.

The Viator’s website states this excursion is “thrilling!” There was absolutely nothing thrilling about this so called “party boat!” More like a “thriller from a horror movie!”
