Any Updates On Punta Langosta?

[cruzeluver]

Anyone heard any recent updates on the Punta Langosta pier? I believe the last I heard, one ship can dock there at a time. Any news on when it should be fully operational? Thanks. :)

Actually, it's the International Pier that has one berth operational now. I read in the local paper today that Punta Langosta will have one berth ready at the beginning of next month...YAY!

And the second spot at both piers should be open in October...still on schedule.

Tom is work going on to International pier now? We've heard that they are working on it to be able to dock vessels as large as Freedom of the seas and RCCL Voyager class. We were told that Freedom will dock on 9/5 and we the Grandeur will have to tender. just curios

Yup, they're still working on it and a recent-ish newspaper article said it would be completed by October. Cross fingers now ;)

Glad to see progress on the piers is to schedule!

 

For those wondering which pier is which you may find the map and article on this Cozumel Mexico information site of interest too. (Scroll down to 'Cruise Ships Dock Again', 24 April 2006).

Is it docking yet? Does it tender into the ferry terminal? How far north from ferry is Pueta de abrigo? How much should we expect to pay taxi? Thanks!

Yes, Conquest still tenders into the fiscal pier. It is the closest pier to Abrigo...expect to pay about $8-10 for a taxi. Ask before you get in taxi.
