I was just reading a review of a cruise which included a call to Cozumel which remains one of our most popular ports of call. For those of you who have not been there let me say that all manner of feverish activity can be found in Cozumel including, eating, drinking, selling, drinking, swimming, snorkeling, drinking, sun worshiping, water sports, shopping, drinking and in this new year lots of building, building, building in every direction. Just before Christmas one of our ships had an overnight call there because of a late departure from home port. I have done an overnight stop in Cozumel and can tell you the nightlife feels safe and fun and watching guests who have been drinking all night at Carlos Frogs and Amigos is very entertaining. It’ amazingly clean and well tended and is buzzing day and night. The shopping is wonderful and oh how it has changed since the first time I went there onboard the Holiday in 1987. Then there were maybe three or four shops and a few nightclubs where Corona was 50 cents a bottle, a lobster dinner for two costs less than $20 and the legal drinking age was seven. Many guests head straight off for the shops which is a real shame because a must see are the ruins of Tulum on the mainland of Mexico. At the far end of the Mayan Riviera, a 50 minute drive from Playa del Carmen, Tulum is most famous for its collection of Mayan ruins. There are temples and grand stepped pyramids for our guests to explore. I will admit that Tulum is not as spectacular as Chichen Itza, certainly, but their location – with the ancient temples almost overhanging the cliff – makes them un-missable. And remember the people of Tulum were the first ever people to wear underwear ………………..Fruit Of Tulum. Have you been to Tulum and ……………………do you like taking “ruins” excursions in places like Mexico and Belize etc?
