Docking in Cozumel

[hogwildcruzers]

Can anyone tell me which pier the Emerald docks at in Cozumel.....thank you!

Should be Puerto Maya 3 miles south of town.

Occasionaly its Puerta Langosta downtown.

Usually only one ship docks downtown. You will likely be at Puerto Maya. It is a nice pier with shops right there. A cab downtown is easily accessible.

I agree. Most likely you will dock at Puerto Maya. It is a really nice pier. Restaurants, shops, and loungers right there. And, it is very easy to catch a cab to get into town. While the downtown pier is within walking distance of downtown Cozumel I like Puerto Maya better.

I like Puerto Maya better as well. No hassling by the locals while we are walking around the shops.

We always walk downtown and back anyway. That way I can sunburn both sides of my face. :eek:

I agree completely. It just ruins my vacation when those bloody locals get all up in my face begging for spare change while I'm busy trying to buy diamonds and other trinkets?

I remember having to tender in Cozumel a few years ago. Does that still happen ?

Very unlikely to happen now!

Only if you're lucky & not to often.

Was that when the piers were destroyed by a hurricaine?

We have never tendered in Cozumel in 30 plus years.

Colo Cruiser,

I believe it was in January 2008. And I seem to remember that tender was a local boat.

Thats probably why, we have not been there in January. They do have some pretty good size local temders.

My upcomming cruise on the Regal has cancelled it's stop in Cozumel. I got the e-mail last week from TA advising due to operational considerations the stop in Cozumel has been changed to a stop in Roatan...

Thats not a good trade at all! :(

Cozumel is so much nicer than Roatan.

I suspect the "operational considerations" (the excuse for any change) is that there are too many ships there that day and the Regal could not get a space to dock.

 

If you get away from the cruise ship compound in Roatan, it is a very nice island and there are some good tours available. One independent provider we have used and enjoyed the day with is http://www.roatantripsandtours.net/

To the OP's... Hi Steve and Sherri!

 

You'll enjoy this cruise. I did it last year on Caribbean Princess. 'Twas fun.

It is if you're a scuba diver....
