Year 4, Day 183, “Living the Dream”. Wednesday, 10/30/2024. Clifty Hill 2 – Day 6 of 16-night KY to New Orleans and Day 5 of 14-night New Orleans Carribean cruise on Brilliance of the Seas. Cozumel, Mexico today. Cozumel is the largest island in Mexico. It is located in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. It is beautiful with the water being a clear turquoise. 80% of the island is a protected natural area. Celebrity Beyond followed us into Cozumel but docked at the other port with Icon of the Seas. Cozumel has three Cruise Port terminals – Punta Langosta, Puerto Maya, and the International Cruise Terminal.
Playa del Carmen is only a ferry boat ride away. The ferry ride is about 45 minutes, and they offer 7 or 8 daily trips. This is something we have never done though. I understand that the price averages about $30.00 at this time. I really want to take this ferry one day. We are always nervous about getting that far away from the ship.
Today we docked at Punta Langosta next to the Vidantaworld Ultra Mega Yach. Punta Langosta is located on the edge of San Miguel de Cozumel, the island’s largest and most populous town. Vidanta is a hotel chain that has just launched an ultra-luxury cruise line. Our ship looked very big next to this Yacht.
We walked into the port. This pier is long. There are bike taxi’s that take passengers back and forth from the ship to the port. There is no set cost, they work for tips.
After passing through a security checkpoint, you’ll enter the Punta Langosta Mall, a two-story shopping complex. We wandered through a few stores, took a few pictures, and got back on the ship. The ship is nice and quiet today. Here is a link to the Mexican cruise ports and some of our prior visits to them. https://deestimes.com/mexican-ports/
