matj2000 Posted November 1, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Shouldn't any company running cruise excursions know what ships dock where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynalan Posted November 1, 2012 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2012 International pier... and you will have to take about a 5 minute taxi ride to town or a pretty long walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigger-ttfn Posted November 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Here's a reference picture for you too if it helps. International Pier, Cozumel, Mexico by Wulfgar28, on Flickr I've docked downtown and at international pier on RCC. It all depends!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipmate13 Posted November 1, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted November 1, 2012 thank you Darkwolfe. That will help. The tour did not know which cruise line we were coming in on. It is for a scuba diving excursion since the one we booked on the ship has been cancelled by Royal Caribbean. It is a very reputible dive shop from what I read called Cha Cha Cha dive center. If anyone else has had any experience with them, I would like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matj2000 Posted November 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 1, 2012 What purpose is the photo for? Are they supposed to describe what the dock looks like to the dive company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, what is your problem? You haven't provided one single post on here that has helped the OP. And, if you look at the bottom of the pic it says the name of the pier. OP. As far as Cha (3) goes they are a good tour company. Edmundo and John are great dive masters. They also do Whale Shark tours. Check TripAdvisor for past diver reviews.

AmesFL Posted November 1, 2012 #13 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Does anyone know specifically which one Jewel docks at? We're doing the Cozumel Bar Hop and were wondering if it's the one by the Starbucks or if we'll have to grab a cab. Doesn't matter either way, just curious.

Royal ships will almost always dock at the International Pier. As others have mentioned, there may be situations that occur that require a change of plans. Sometimes there are too many ships at all the piers and a ship might have to tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing the Cozumel Bar Hop and were wondering if it's the one by the Starbucks or if we'll have to grab a cab. Doesn't matter either way, just curious. You'll need to grab a cab and let me warn you, the line to get a cab can be extensive in Cozumel, so make sure you allow time because Tom will not wait. You can call him and let him know your ETA if you are close. Also Cozumel is an hour different from EST, so you need to check with the ship to see if they are on local time or staying on EST. I was on two ships last year, one being the Jewel. One changed times, the other didn't but I can't remember. Enjoy the barhop its a nice tour IF you don't get stuck with too many drunks who are always late getting back to the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone else has had any experience with them, I would like to know. You are quite welcome. I don't think you'll wind up downtown unless Carnival takes over all the slots at International. NCL tends to be downtown. What purpose is the photo for? Are they supposed to describe what the dock looks like to the dive company? No, that provides a first time visitor to Cozumel a visual reference for themselves. So if something does get changed, they'll know it rather than going "Where are we?" I have found such pictures very useful myself in the past and am paying it forward. It's a simple, easy way to assist a fellow cruiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three that were Radiance class or smaller docked downtown, the fourth was Oasis and it docked at the International Pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been to Cozumel 29x and rest assured RCI will be at International unless some freak situation stops them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're doing the Cozumel Bar Hop and were wondering if it's the one by the Starbucks or if we'll have to grab a cab. Doesn't matter either way, just curious. Are they meeting you just outside the pier? ( I know when we took the bar hop last year they cannot come into the pier so they met us at the first shop to the left just outside the pier, to load onto the bus) SInce Carnival pier is right beside us, they combined them too. They have many new shops going up right across the street from the International pier. Is there a new Starbucks there maybe? Sounds like you, or us, need more specifics on where you are meeting.

AmesFL Posted November 2, 2012 #22 Share Posted November 2, 2012 They said they meet at the only Starbucks on the island (per the website). However, they said they'll email final details a week out, so we shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted November 2, 2012 #23 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I've been to Cozumel umpteen times and always at International Pier for RCI. Here's a weekly schedule to check out: http://www.cozumelinsider.com/Cruiseships Or try this one: http://www.cruiseportinsider.com/cozumelschedule2012.html#.UJMaZUL3AzV I think it takes some unusual conditions for RCI not to dock at TMM International. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariefisher Posted November 2, 2012 #24 Share Posted November 2, 2012 We have learned not to wait in the line at the pier for a taxi. Just walk outside the fenced area and there are tons of taxis waiting. Just make sure to ask what the fare will be before getting in the cab. Have fun on your excursion.

shipmate13 Posted November 2, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted November 2, 2012 MattInFLL, thank you. that is what I was looking for was the schedule. What scares me the most is that there will be five ships there that day. It will be pretty crowded. Some of us will probably stay on the ship while the others will scuba dive.
