  1. I was in Cozumel last March and can say things seemed safe at that time. Most of the problems are on the main land. Just be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. Don't venture too far off the main road, and don't fall for scams and rip-offs from street vendors and pan-handlers. As c-legs5 said - taxis are not a problem. Look for signs posting current taxi rates in the port area. The taxi fare from town should be the same as from the port to town. Before getting in any taxi, make sure you and the taxi driver have agreed on the fare. Have a wonderful cruise and I hope you find that special brand of tequila!
  2. They "have a day booked at Paradise Beach."
  3. Please report back! We will be in Cozumel in November. I was dissapointed to see Novena Ola was closed, especially after finding photos of the restaurant on google maps. Looked very inviting. Always looking for new places to visit.
  4. I checked Google and it appears Novena Ola is permanently closed: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Novena+Ola/@20.5131048,-86.9504015,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x8f4e59f7d51c1941:0x9a70b85f45f9bc42!8m2!3d20.5131048!4d-86.9478266!16s%2Fg%2F11nccdw0yj?entry=ttu

  6. You might have dual citienship but you will not have passed thru official customs and immigration. If you do go ahead with this plan, please report back here of your experience. Inquiring minds want to know how it went.
  7. I would suggest you consult the law concerning illegal immigration for the country (port) you wish to "invade."
  8. What if the tour guide/operator is a recovering gambler? A cash tip should be a hard NO as well. What if the tour guide/operator is a diabetic? Chocolates/sweets ... What if the tour guide/operator is ______________ ?

  11. I had forgotten about this thread until boeckli kindly resurrected it from it's Oct 27, 2023 slumber. Here is Carnival and Holland America docked in Cozumel, shot from MSC Sea Shore docked down town.

  14. Then you want to go when the sun is at its highest point in the sky and travels its longest path, causing the longest period of daylight and shortest night of the year. This year's longest day will take place on June 20, 2024.
  15. Never mind. I didn't see where you mentioned you could get them at KEH for $50 & $70.
  16. Look into using Bounce - usebounce.com Bounce is a luggage storage service and will locate storage near you. Be sure to check the hours of the storage location because not all locations are open late or 24 hours.
  17. Here is a link to the rental car page from Orlando Sanford Intl Airport's web site: https://flysfb.com/ground-transportation-parking/rental-cars/
  18. Check with KEH.com. They have used travel tripods with ball heads from as low as $94.00. I recomend this company for used photography equipment and have bought quite a bit from them. Every used item you get goes through a 10-point grading process to assure quality and comes with an extended warranty as well as a return period.
  19. Here is a step-by-step video from a visually impaired individual: Quickest way from/to Red Hook cruise ship terminal Brooklyn. NYC Ferry Wall Street Pier 11 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnJH3vwVTJI
  20. Check out usebounce.com. They have 10,000+ locations in 2000+ cities. Its normally $5.90/day/bag but checking NYC I see its $6.90. Be sure to check the hours of operation for the storage facility you use because not all are a 24 hr operation. I myself have not used them, but I do have their app on my phone for future use.
