Carnival Pier

[tm3750]

Does anyone know which pier that Carnival docks at and when it is expected to be operational again?

[cozgal]

Carnival used to dock at Purta Maya and for the most part has been tendering passengers. There were a few times when they were able to dock at one of the 2 available berths but it doesn't happen too often from what I hear.

Puerta Maya sustained heavy damage and is not expected to be open for quite a while(maybe 2007).

Carnival uses all 4 piers since Wilma. You don´t mention which ship you are sailing on so I can´t really tell you which pier it might be. Or when you will be here. By October, Punta Langosta and TMM both should be open for 2 ships each docking!

We just came back from the Miracle and we docked at the International pier. There were only two ships in port that day, us and the Fascination. It was very nice being able to just walk off the ship.

Will be on the Conquest June 4th

I would say you will be tendering.... Two RCCL ships will be there on June 9th. Rhapsody of the Seas and Mariner of the Seas. The peir that is open is the peir they are contracted with.

Our itinerary for the Ecstasy 5/11/06 cruise has changed from Playa to Cozumel. We'll be there Saturday (5/13). Looking at the cruisecal website for that date, I see no other ships in Coz, unless I'm doing it wrong. :confused: Hope that means we'll dock somewhere instead of tender in. Anyone know?

Cathy,

 

You are the only ship in Cozumel on the 13th and you are docked at a pier. Have fun!!

There's also a story that may interest you about the re-opening of Cozumel's piers (based on an interview with the head of the port authority) on this Cozumel news and information website.

Ecstasy will be at TMM pier, docked every Saturday through October. Glory will have the pier on Mondays when it is here with Ecstasy. And no one is sure yet who will get the pier on Wednesdays.

Forgot to mention that the Ecstasy was only going to Playa instead of Cozumel because of the Pampered Chef group on board for 2 cruises.

Sorry, brain lapse. I am working too hard...I was referring to the Enchantment OTS not Ecstasy! UGH...time to go watch the NBA playoffs and get out of this office.

[Cathys Cruising]

Thanks for the good news!

How about 5/25 Ecstasy? What is the TMM pier?

[VICKIVICKI]

What is the crusisecal web? We are with Carnival and itlooks as though their pier will not be open until later in 2007. Our scheduled day is Friday, January 26th. If other ships are not there,. will we use their piers?

[tm3750]

VickiVicki,

If there are spaces available on other piers it is my understanding that carnival will use them

Doesnt look to good for you on January 26, 2007. There are six ships in port that day.

This is a picture of the Carnival Miracle docked at the International pier in Cozumel. We were lucky enough to dock there on May 3rd.

[starketcher]

I hope we will be able to dock, but I have a question:

 

Given the number of ships at anytime in COZ, why couldnt each ship dock, unload passengers then move out to tender distance? I know people come and go, but the vast majority get off the ship first thing. They could then run tenders during the day based on supply & demand. Once it is time to re-board, the ship could once again dock.

 

Is there a reason why this is not being done?

[MamaParrotHead]

what are the chances that the Carnival pier would be ready by the end of 4/07? Hoping not to have to tender and for a long port stay. :confused:

[BarbaraD]

I will be on the Conqest and in Cozumel on June 2, 2006, wonder if we will get to dock or have to tender.

[MamaParrotHead]

you may be able to dock. There's only 1 other ship in port that day, a RCI one. I don't know how many ships each dock handles, though.

[creekbaby]

We are in Cozumel June 5, 2006 on the Ecstasy. Will we be tendering or able to dock? It seems according to Cruisecal.com that we are the only ship there that day.

 

Thanks!

[critcatny]

anyone know how to tell if the Miracle will be docking or tendering on June 7? we will be 1 of 4 boats docked that day although we are coming in 1st.

[Cozumel-Ian]

At present just one ship can dock per day at the International Pier. Hopefully in June one will also be able to dock at Punta Langosta - see the storyon this Cozumel news and information website.

 

It then just comes down to how many ships are in port as to whether yours gets the dock-spot...!

 

Some other locals may be better placed to say how they decide, but I think it depends on the size of the ships and which is best suited to dock...
