The San Gervasio Mayan ruins in Cozumel are a short cab ride from pier

They have a hop on hop off bus now that takes you shopping areas, Doctors Caves beach and Margaritaville. We plan to use this in September. You can pay at t he port with your sail and sign card. I hear they have several buses that run a loop and are about 15 minutes apart.

We went on the Negril Excursion from Montego Bay and it was about 2 hours bus ride each way. Falmouth is further away than Montego Bay.

The name of this travel agency is legendary Journeys based in Florida. They went out of business in November. This large group of people arrived for the cruise and were denied boarding. This happened on June 15th of this year

There has been many stories of people losing all of their money from travel agents that have gone out of business or bankrupt and have lost all of their money. This just happened to a group of 18 booking out of Florida. Make sure you have a reputable company just saying. They prepaid airfare and cruise and it cost them $15,000. Check the travel agency with the Better Business Bureau

I would be all in on a cheers lite package! I'm sure that would be a big seller. Cut the price in half and cut the number of drinks. Now that is a CUT that we would all enjoy.

We actually prefer September. We have taken several cruises this time of year. The seas have been great,water temperature fantastic. Schools are back in session so minimal kids running around. That being said, it is hurricane season, everyone that books a cruise in the months from June to November takes that chance. Also it's not as HOT in September!

If they open the Casino as soon as they reach international waters after leaving Galveston, they could open the cheers program.

You reach international waters after 12 nautical miles.

"Gum Runners" hilarious! Available now from Amazon

If you use a small amount of Vaseline around the ceiling edges it will help prevent leakage. This also helps if you are using a traditional mask and have a mustache. I use a traditional mask and snorkel and because I have a mustache, I apply a small amount of Vaseline on my mustache. It helps seal out the water

We have been to Mr.Sanchos and love the place. You can purchase tickets on line. 5 dollar deposit p/p and then you pay the balance of $50 pp when you arrive. Beautiful beach, tons of palapas and umbrellas for shade. Unlimited drinks,mixed drinks, beer,water, sodas. The unlimited food menu is pretty good. The coconut shrimp is good also the fish tacos. They have 2 pools with swim-up bars. They wait on you continually whIle making you feel like you made the right decision! We are back to Cozumel again for the 16th time in September. There are tons of taxis to take you there for about $17 from Puerto maya pier. Go to you tube to check out the menu and facilities. :cool: Mark and Deb

When we sailed out of Galveston in February, they opened both 12 packs of soda and checked to make sure that there was only soda in the packs. So like previously mentioned,bring a small roll of duct tape in your carry-on to tape the boxes back closed.I promise you,you will find other uses for it throughout your voyage

Your photos and videos are breathtaking!

Looking forward to more!

ABQrobin,Your photo site pictures are amazing! I love scuba diving especially in Cozumel

What type of scuba gear were you allowed to bring aboard?

E@zy Pe@zy, what a great idea I never thought of asking if I can pick something up. But I certainly will next time as we Cruise again in September. These small little gift items saves them from having to pay inflated prices on the ship. Everybody likes beaver nuggets from Buc-ee's am I right

Although I agree with all of the previous posts, we still like to bring a small bag of goodies to our room steward. We will usually bring things like a new toothbrush and paste, disposable razors and shaving cream, eye drops, chapstick, some shoe inserts to help their tired feet and some local goodies. I agree that cash is King but everybody likes a little gift now and then:cool:

Is the aft pool adults only on the Breeze

My son and daughter-in-law are going to hang on 7 mile beach for a bit after we get back, which should be by 11am or so. In February, the last tender back to ship left the dock at 3:15.

We are booked with Capt. Marvin's 8:30am stingray and snorkel. It is $40 and no deposit required. Pay when you arrive. If the ship does not get to dock there will be no charge. But there will be a charge probably if you just don't show up. You do give them a CC to hold your reservation. They have great reviews - check them out - Captainmarvinsdotcom :cool:

What time is the ship arriving? And is there a time difference between the ship and island time?

Oh! And it says we arrive at 7am :)

I agree with the posts recommending Captain Marvin. The best excursion experience ever! I contacted them via their website and booked directly. If the ship couldn’t anchor for tenders, we wouldn’t have been charged. They recommended a trip that gave us enough time to get back and do a bit of shop before getting on the tender. Highly recommend booking with them!

We are booked with Capt. Marvin. Have the early tour so we can do a little Margaritaville after and the "kids" can do some beach time. :D:cool:

Serena - We are arriving in September so the time will be the same. They do not utilize DST so the time is only different in the winter. If you use your Carnival HUB app, it always shows ship time.

I am hijacking my wife's previous post. We have been to Hell and back, turtle farm, Seven Mile Beach and rum cake factory. Can't wait to get back. Also a cheeseburger in Paradise! Stingray City has always been a favorite.
