Best Beach for late arrival

[Magic4four]

We are on the Carnival Victory and don't get into port until 1pm. Will Paradise Beach be too crowded by then? Is there a better beach for a late arrival? The ship leaves at 10pm.

We get in late also. While I think it will be crowded when we get there; I also expect to see a lot of turnover from people who have been there all day. I expect to see crowds start to thin out at 2 and definitely by 3.

PB is your best bet - some of the other AI clubs (Nachi, etc.) start to close at 5 so you don't have enough time to get your money's worth at one of those. PB is big enough to handle the crowds unless you insist on a chair near the pool (just like on the ship! :rolleyes:). Good luck!

I went to PB back in 2010 and we docked about noon. We went straight to PB when we got off the ship and was able to get chairs right at the front of the beach. Depending how many ships are in port, it may be crowded but as JohninDC said, its a big place. Room for lots.

I am thinking there is a 2 hr time difference so Cozumel time will be around 11:00.

That gives you a little more beach time.
