Holiday in Cozumel:Dock or Tender?

[blwms]

Any recent Holiday cruisers: Does ship still tender in Cozumel?

[Montycruiser]

We tendered the last week of October. It seemed they were working on the pier though, hopefully it is completed

We were there 25 Jan and we tendered then. Someone on the dock said that our ship (Fantasy) got to use the existing pier every fourth trip - the rest of the time they tender in to the main pier location which was still being rebuilt.

The Holiday DOCKED on February 10 (last Saturday); the cruise director made it out to be a pretty big deal, so docing might not be the norm. We were docked across from the Inspiration.

Currently it only shows 3 ships will be in port on 5/1 so you should dock.

It depends on the number of ships in port. The International pier is almost finished to the point it can start docking two ships. The Punta Langosta pier can dock two ships. Unfortunetely the Puerta Maya pier will not be finished until early to mid 2008. When finished, it will be able to dock four ships.

Paradise_Beach_Tom had a post that said the International pier can now dock 2 ships. I am wondering the same thing, if we are tendering or not. Anyone else know how to check?

I take it from that post that 4 ships can currently be docked. So if we are in Coz on 3/15 (on the Fantasy) we should be docking, right?

You have six ships in port that day but the Fantasy is not one of them. The Fantasy will be in port on 3/17 and there will be 4 ships that day. You should be docking.

Go to cozumelinsider.com Look towards the bottom of the right side. Click on ship schedule. This is the list put out by the harbor master on Mondays.

Thanks, you're right about when we are in Coz. I just messed that up.

No problem. I guess it fit right in with your screen name.

Looks like the ship arrivals/departures are only listed through March 4th on cozumelinsider.com. Any way to check ahead of the current week?

 

Thanks.

[jetskier]

No way to tell which ship is going to dock where in advance. It is up to the Harbor Master to make that determination. Some ships have first right to a berth. You can go to http://www.cruisecal.com to see how many ships will be in port.

Jetskier,

Thanks for the info.! We will be on the Grand Princess in a couple weeks. I checked the ship schedule for this week (I realize it will change from week to week). Our ship is scheduled to arrive at Punta Langosta this week. The position is listed as: Band int. or Band ext. Would you happen to know what that might mean?

 

Thanks!

It means one ship will have the interior side of the dock or the one closer to land. The other ship will have the exterior side of the dock or the one closer to the channel.

Thanks again for the info!!! Your reply (side of dock) was what I was hoping to hear!

Last week on the Zenith, we tendered, but our sister ship was docked. The dock is a pretty good ways "up the road" from the tender docks, and that might be something to note.
