My family and I are doing the pride in July. Does anyone have any suggestions on excursions. Also, has anyone booked excursions outside of Carnival. I would love some feedback!:wave

We are leaving on Sept. 30 on the Pride and I have spent the last month trying to figure out what to do. We are a little limited on what we can do because we will have our kids 13 and 3. So we have to go the kid friendly route.
In PV we will be going to the Sea Life Park. They have tons of waterslides and my 13 yr old and I will be doing the Royal Dolphin Swim. We will save over $100 by booking directly through the park and there are taxis right on site for transportation.
In Mazatlan we will probably be hanging out at the El Cid Resort and doing a little shopping/walking in the Golden Zone. Most of the day by just on the beach and relaxing. Would like to go to Shell City...but haven't looked into that too much yet.
In Cabo we will be going through JS TOur and Travel and arranging for a Glass Bottom Boat ride out to Lover's Beach. They drop you off for as long as you want (1-5 hours) and then take you back. They provide snorkel equip, etc. if needed. We will snorkel for a bit, play on the beach and then head back in for a lunch at the Cabo Wabo Cantina. Can't do too much here since we leave at 4pm from port.
JS TOur and Travel have tour companies in all of the ports you can choose from. They transport and get you back so you don't miss the ship. They are ALOT less then the ship...but still checking on others that have used this company.

We booked our excursions through Carnival. We realize it's more expensive but we like knowing we won't be left behind if an excursion gets back late. (In all fairness that has only happened once out of 20+ excursions.)
In PV we did the Tropical Jungle Paradise Tour. We really enjoyed this excursion...in fact I wanted to do it the next time we visited there but we didn't. I had the best homemade white corn tortillas on this tour...no where have I had better!
In Mazatlan we enjoyed the Sierra Madre Tour and the second time we did the City and Shopping Tour - the flyers were something else.
In Cabo (where souveniers seem to cost more - so don't save all your shopping for there) they have a bunch of new excursions apparently replacing some of the old ones. I no longer see the one we went on.
Our second time there we just walked around town and ate at a local restaurant.

We enjoyed Hideaway at Las Caletas in Puerto Vallarta enough to go twice during two separate cruises. It was a little pricey ($80 pp), but we felt it was well worth it. Las Caletas is a secluded beach, accessible only by boat and all inclusive. The hosts were very personable, the transfer boat was clean and ship shape and everything at the beach was in good repair. We enjoyed the food and all the activities we participated in.
