Been there several times on Carnival. Each time, we have done the snorkel/booze cruise/beach party excursion (it's called something like that). They take you out on a catamaran and you do some snorkeling, they serve you awesome beer (or rum punch) on the boat, and then take you to a beach where you can relax, get food, play beach volleyball, etc. We have loved it every time!

 

It also still allows you time enough when you get back to grab lunch on the ship (if you want) and head into town for shopping. We did lunch at Pancho's Backyard (I think that's what it's called) in Cozumel......very yummy and huge fish-bowl margaritas there that were very strong-but good!

 

 

Hope you enjoy!

It is called the Fury Catamaran. Look at http://www.cozumelinsider.com It has a lot of information and things to do.

And if you would prefer to just relax at the beach with good drinks and great food, take a taxi to Paradise Beach.

Stopped at Cozumel while on the Legend in November. We did not do an excursion here. . .just took a taxi downtown and shopped. We also ate lunch at Pancho's Backyard. . .very good food and service. Hope you get a chance to try it while you're there.

Paradise Beach is my favorite place to go in Cozumel. You can get a massage right on the beach for about $1 a minute. Quite a bit cheaper than on the ship and they do an excellent job.

ECHO THAT on Pancho's.

 

They also serve Margaritas "to-go".

I usually get one and go shopping with wife. We have lunch there (and another Margarita). Then get another to go. By the time we get back on the boat its time for a nice siesta! Then get up about 9 or so for a show or party on the deck.

 

Oh and the beaches are nice there too if you want to go to one for a while.

If you are looking for a quiet beach to just chill with some beverages and or food...with optional snorkeling trips avail..look up Nachi Cocum...very quiet, very uncrowded, and beautiful!

Paradise Beach also gets my vote. The massages are great too. Go to the Port O Call board and you will get many ideas....I believe when I researched it...I found a bunch of info on Cozumel....places to go, things to see, etc.

We Snuba dove...its a combo of snorkling and scuba diving...but much easier than scuba diving and more interesting than snorkling.

 

 

I would definitely recommend it...the water is beautiful!

You will find a lot more info on Cozumel excursions if you go to the Cozumel board. :) My favorite excursions there have been the dolphin swim at Chankanaab Park and the jeep excursion named something like Snorkel, Lighthouse, and Ruins by jeep.

I went on-line to look at Pancho's Backyard and they have a coupon you can print out for one free margarita with purchase of lunch entree!:D You can look at the menu too, looks yummy!

If you just want to stroll and shop there are endless choices. Hit the Forum shops, have lunch at Pancho's Backyard, walk the main st along the seafront and shop for just about anything. Walk down to Margaritaville and do some more shopping, have a Margarita or two and sit on one of the decks overlooking the bay.....mmmn

If you want to swim with dolphins, get a taxi to Chankanaab Park,for about $10 from town, pay $16 each at the park gate (cash) and then do the Dolphin Swim, it is a wonderful day.Book direct with http://www.Dolphindiscovery. com for cheaper prices than the ships sell it for.

Get a taxi to Nachi Cocom beach club- google their site, nice relaxing day with beach and pool.

We did the dune buggy excursion. We had such a great time, we are repeating it in a couple of weeks. They have a variety of excursions to choose from. You should find one that you like.

I agree Pancho's is great... We did not go on an excursion, we went to Paradise for a couple of hours and took a cab for $20.00 and he took us on the back streets of Cozumel and showed us all types of neat places and went to a local liqour store and bought tequilla really really cheap... Have fun!

[GoinCruisin]

I've been 5 times and do the same "excursion"... Paradise Beach followed by Carlos and Charlies :D Paradise Beach is the best... Tom is the best and always makes sure we have a great time... the drinks are good and not overly priced. The chicken nachos are amazing, and the guacamole is some of the best I've ever had.

Take a taxi to Paradise Beach. They have everything you could want there, kayaks, rafts, lounge chairs, waiters to serve you, great Margheritas, good food, lots of kids activities. They also have their own website.

You can also rent jetskis and go parasailing from there as well :)

We've done Paradise beach several times, but we're changing to Nachi Cocum on our Conquest cruise. It's suppose to be smaller, but nicer and limits it's guest to only 100 per day.

[RammerJammer]

If you dive (or want to), IMHO Coz is one of the best values there is. Spectacular only starts to describe it. Gonna try to get down there for a long weekend next couple of months.

When we went to Cozumel on the Miracle we did the Playa Mia Beach Break Deluxe. We thought it was expensive to sit on the beach for a day till we spent the day there. It was worth every Peso! Food & beverage were included, games and entertainment and transportation. We would definately do it again.
