Hi all,
I wanted to drop a little info for future Cozumel visitors. Everything seems nearly back-to-normal since the pandemic. First up on the list was the ship excursion catamaran snorkel and beach package. After a 15 minute ride, we arrived at the snorkel area. The waters were pristine but the sales pitch to buy the pictures kinda hurt this experience. Afterwards, we took a cab ride to El Centro and walked the area. A new item that seems everywhere are hand-painted Christmas ornaments. We found the best prices here vs the shops in Progresso (our next stop). Also, we walked thru the Mega grocery store for a few pastries. Great prices on grocery items here if you're interested in that kind of stuff. Afterwards, we took a cab back to the port. The stores were busy with people from the 3 ships docked there that day. The weather was beautiful this time of year. Can't wait to go back.
