Exit fee in Cozumel

[Mrs Soap]

Hi everyone, wondering if anyone knows about the exit fee for Cozumel? I read some where in our cruise documents that there is a fee of 30$US per person ??

 

many thanks

I was there yesterday and I was not asked to pay any fees. If there is a charge I would expect it to be included in the port fees we already paid.

thanks...were you onboard the msc seaside?

Yes, on Seasise now. We just left Costa Maya this evening. Excellent day! The weather did not look promissing when we arrived, but it got sunny around noon and we had a great afternoon.

That's why you pay port fees as part of your cruise fare.... In my 35 years of cruising I have never paid any fee to depart a Ship

Thanks everyone - yes i presume it was inxluded in port charges just thought it odd that it was specifically stated. Enjoy your cruises!

ICpagejr ... You have to pay for a visa in order to be able to get off the ship for any cruises that go to Russia.

Hi Kylie. The amount is included in your cruise fare UNLESS you disembark the ship in Cozumel and end your cruise there. It's an exit fee for Mexico, rather than Cozumel itself. In other words, you'd have to pay that tax if you ended your cruise early in any Mexican port. (One of my colleagues here at Cruise Critic just did this two weeks ago.) Hope this helps!

Thanks for the explanation. I've flown in and out of Mexico as well as ported there maybe 20 times each and never heard of an exit fee. Folded into the fares is the way to go.

 

For some land vacations on Caribbean Islands, there can be an entry as well as an exit fee when flying in, the Dominican Republic immediately comes to mind but there are a few others as well. Never had that issue come up when cruising though.

As I understand a visa isn't required if you are visiting Russia for less than 72 hours and joining an accredited tourist excursion as you're allocated a tourist visa.

Thank you, yes that explains it perfectly, thanks again
