First time Cozumel

[buick71]

Hello. We re coming to Cozumel at February 2020 and it s our first cruising so we have absolutly no experiance.

We re 2 adults plus child 10 years old.

Please tell me we have 8 hours at Cozumel - how to organize to see Punta Sur Park plus snorkeling Palancar and El Cielo or is it better to do only one of these 2 things?

To book in advance or do that directly when we arrive to Cozumel?

Thanks for help.

Understand that if your ship is scheduled in port for 8 hours, e.g. 9am - 5pm (0900-1700), you really don't have the full 8 hours. All aboard is usually about 30 minutes before the ship is scheduled to depart, and there is always a chance you won't be off the ship at the exact arrival time either. 

 

That said, I think there is enough time to do both the snorkeling and Punta Sur if the snorkeling trip has timing that allows for a sufficient amount of time at Punta Sur either before or after. Personally, I would book a morning snorkeling trip, then take a taxi after to Punta Sur and then take a taxi from Punta Sur back to the cruise ship.

Thanks for answer. Do you book for example snorkeling excursion online before or when you arrive at destination?

I would book in advance. That way you can ensure the timing works out. Check out websites like ShoreExcursioneer. There's others mentioned for Cozumel in this forum.. just can't think of them off the top of my head.
