Cruising the Caribbean-Cozumel

I always get asked the same questions before we sail on Caribbean cruises. Should I book excursions on line? What should I see? If I don’t sign up early will all the tours be filled? Here are my suggestions. If it is your first time, book a ship excursion-one that interests you. The Mayan Ruins are interesting and fun to see-ONCE. If you like to snorkel, the crystal clear water along with the many reefs makes an ideal trip. You might want to buy an underwater disposable camera and be sure to “swipe” a few dinner rolls from the ship. Crumble them underwater and be prepared to be surrounded by dozens of beautiful fish. (You will only see lots of fish on the reef)
I find it best to book my own excursions-on shore. You can negotiate a much better price then on the ship, plus you are not locked into a prepaid tour in case of in climate weather.
However, once you have seen the ruins, swam with the fish, plus other “touristy” things- it might be time to do what we like to do-relax and have some fun in the sun. Find a place where you feel comfortable. In Cozumel, we like the Bar, Mosicoz- off the square and adjacent to the clock tower. It is owned and run by Bianca-she has good food and courteous waiters. Get a table on the street-order some munchies-sing with the mariachis- and best of all, order buckets of iced Coronas, six for 5 US Dollars.
