Is Cozumel are you 'tendered' ashore...or is it a walk off...??

[Olwyn]

We are docking in Cozumel at 7am...(October 9th...yahoo!!) and want to visit the famous Paradise Beach.

We will be a family of 5 adults and one toddler.

How long do you think, that it might take us to get ashore and reach the beach, before the crowds??

We want shade, good seats on the 'right side' of the beach etc...

Thanks so much!

It will tell you which pier your ship will dock at.

Unless you are the last of 10 ships in port that day, you will be able to walk off the ship.

It took us about 45 minutes to get off the ship, walk to the end of the pier (Punta Langosta); get a taxi and travel to PB.

Hi Tom!

My mistake...our ship departs Ft. Lauderdale on the 9th, arriving in Cozumel on October 12th!:)

 

Too much going on these days! I am moving 3 residences...and planning this entire family trip/cruise by myself. Will really need a beach and a margarita by then!!:D

 

Can't wait to meet you..and hopefully your new baby!

My niece Kate would love that...she is just 1.

 

We are hoping for shady chairs and a table, near the iceberg...so Kate can wade in the sand!

 

So looking forward to it.

Any advice for us, Tom?

Thanks so much, and see you on the 12th!

Oops! Forgot to mention that we are coming in on the Star Princess!:)

See you then Tom!

OK...Cool! That's better!

The Bump is due at the end of October, so you'll have to wait till next trip to meet him...though the way he's wriggling and kicking 20 hrs a day, he might want out early!

 

Hasta la vista!

[Olwyn]

He can't wait to wiggle his toes in the sand!:D

See you on the 12th Tom!

Cheers!

How has Cozumel fared during these nasty hurricanes this season? :(

Have you had any truly 'blustery' days?

Just curious.

Olwyn :)

We did get some outer bands from Katrina making things mildly interesting on the beach a while back, but nothing really since Emily. Actually this is the driest, sunniest September that I can remember...maybe the hurricanes altered our "rainy season" this year :)

See ya soon!
