Paradise Beach during Spring Break

[robin16ak]

Hello! We are on the Carnival Breeze on the March 17 cruise. We'll be in Cozumel on March 20, with five other ships (2 Norwegian, the Vista, Disney something, and a RC). We arrive at 8 AM, but several of the other cruises get in at 7 and 7:30. We are really interested in Paradise Beach, but are concerned about not being able to reserve ahead of time. Is it likely they will fill up and and we won't be able to get in? Should we try to go somewhere else that we can make a reservation? We are two adults and three kids (11, 10, and 5). Thanks for any insight! We liked Paradise Beach for the price and a la carte options. Don't want to pay full AI admission to the other places if the five year old isn't interested in the inflatables.

PB is very large and I've never heard of it filling up and pushing away customers. Get off the ship early, before the spring breakers wake up, and you will have no problems finding chairs and shade. It should be perfect for your family and your older two will probably enjoy the water toys (extra fee).

Great, thanks John! We don't mind getting up early and getting off the ship quickly, as we like to maximize our time in port.
