This is great news but I am crying in my Cheerios here :o We are on the Valor and they took our Coz day and make it a sea day, then the following day we will get to go to Key West to make up for it. I wish they would change us back...I understand those cruises that have totally been re-routed but the Valor's doesn't seem like it would be as complicated to switch back. But what do I know about it..nothing!

 

I am happy for those who have upcoming cruises in mid-june and on. Enjoy your time in Cozumel!! :D

It could be Carnival (the news was not specific) returning quickly because the Mayor of Cozumel being interviewed during the ongoing XXVIII Rodeo de Lanchas Mexicanas (annual fishing tournament) yesterday said that Cozumel may have a cruise ship at port this Wednesday.

 

At any rate, they have not received any notification that the ship has diverted her scheduled port of calls. If this happens, it will be the first ship since the April 27 (about).

 

BTW, a boat named ¨Kenya¨ weighed-in with a 185 lb. Blue Marlin holding the first place position heading into the tournaments final day, Sunday (today). The ¨Mercenario¨ crewed by fisherWOMEN is in second place with a 72 lb. White Marlin and 25 lb. mahi-mahi. Lourdes Villanueva is head of the all women fishing team

 

By 6pm this afternoon we will know which of the 150+ boats entered takes home the big prizes.

Hmm interesting. I am anxious to see if and which cruise ship arrives.

The Disney Magic is scheduled to make a port of call in Cozumel on Wednesday May 20th.

 

Carnival Holiday is set to follow on Monday May 25th and again on Saturday the 30th.

 

Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas will return on Wednesday May 27th, and Freedom of the Seas will return on Thursday May 28th.

 

Those are the only ports of call that have been announced so far this month.

The Disney being first to return is a good thing for Cozumel. Disney Magic is considered a ship with passengers of high purchasing power, probably a bit more expensive than some others, so maybe it´s a good first day back for Cozumel´s commercial sector.

 

We are already starting to see an increase in activity as people are beginning to book with some confidence. That is a good sign.

Do you know who won first second and third place on the tournament? thanks :D

 

The second and final day of the tournament began with strong rainfall, which concerned the fishermen and the public alike thinking that there would be a small turn-out at the weigh-in, typically a big island event. In the end, the rains abated and the downtown ferry pier was crowded with Cozumeleños to participate in the final celebrations of the state´s biggest fishing tournament.

 

1st place goes to ¨Kenya¨, a boat owned by Kenny Flowers gaining him handsome ¨cash purses¨ as well as a new 2009 Hummer. Flowers team presented the only blue marlin caught in the two day tournament.

 

2nd place goes to ¨Lucero¨ which obtained, in the two days of the tournament, the capture of a white marlin, a wahoo, a dorado and a barracuda.

 

The 3rd place was obtained by the Playense Gabriel Quiam, with the capture of a white marlin and a dorado.

 

In 4th place remained the (ladies) Cozumeleñas commanded by Lourdes Villanueva, who presented in the scale a white marlin and a dorado.

 

To finalize the event the mayor Juan Carlos González Hernández, directed some words of gratitude to the 175 participants of this twenty-eighth edition RODEO DE LANCHAS MEXICANAS, mentioning that it has been an honor to have the fishermen visit and that he expects to see them for the following edition.

Disney made an announcement last week (before the restrictions were lifted) that it would not go to Cozumel on this current Western sailing. Do you know if they changed their minds at the last minute?

[gottago2mexico]

The announcement made on May 13th stated that they would be cancelling the Cozumel port of call scheduled for May 20th and go to Nassau instead. However, the reason given at that time was because the CDC was still warning against non-essential travel to Mexico. Since then, of course, that warning has been lifted, so now I'm not sure.

 

Their website and stated itineraries all show the port of call in Cozumel, and CruiseCal.com still lists it as an active port of call. I guess we'll find out on Wednesday! Otherwise, they'll be back on June 3rd instead.
