GrandmaHofmann Posted February 27, 2018 #26 Share Posted February 27, 2018 "The ferry crossing is very rough, and not a pleasant ride." You mean the day you were there. The seas are constantly changing, just like your cruise ship. The crossing can also be like a lake with no wind or waves. I have made that crossing four times in four different years and seasons. It has always been rough as a cob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectx Posted February 28, 2018 #27 Share Posted February 28, 2018 My wife and I spent 5 nights in the Tulum area about 6 months ago, right when the so called travel warning took effect. We visited a monkey sanctuary, the ruins, a cenote, hailed cabs on the fly... tourists were everywhere. Never once felt the least bit unsafe and the locals could not have been any more friendly. Would you avoid a trip to Chicago? Most wouldn't, yet it has a murder rate triple that of Quintana Roo last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPookey Posted February 28, 2018 #28 Share Posted February 28, 2018 We’ve been to Passion Island, which is a gorgeous beach and Chankanaab, which has a beautiful garden, a pool, food, snorkeling and some type of dolphin swim. We did Chankanaab pretty easily in our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
