jnnifer01 Posted October 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Does anyone know if Calica/Playa del Carmen is a 'tender' port or will they dock? We will be on the Ecstasy in December and have a large group, so I was hoping to find out what to expect in advance. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twofromcolumbus Posted October 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Calica you will dock; we were there on the Celebration a few years ago. It was a NEW port then. Not too much there, so you will need to take a tour or a taxi to Playa; We went to Tulum/Xelha on a tour from the ship; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnifer01 Posted October 2, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Thanks for the info. It sounds like we won't have any tender ports on this cruise :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted October 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Just so you won't be too shocked (as I was) when you dock at Calica, it's nothing but a huge working rock quarry with a few vendor tents. BUT, there are plenty of cabs lined up to take you into PdC....$10 per cab for up to four ppl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtx100 Posted October 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Calica (Spanish for Gravel Pit, I think) is a dock port, But we were on the Holiday to Playa Del Carmen 2 yrs back and we tendered. Guess it just depends on what's available that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNobody Posted October 2, 2004 #6 Share Posted October 2, 2004 We were diverted to Playa Del Carmen from Belize while on the Elation last July...we tendered into PDC...just FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnnifer01 Posted October 3, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I've already heard about the lack luster of Calica, so we're all prepared to travel to PDC, but I'm getting confusion on the subject of tendering or docking there. Anyone been there recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
