Day # 10 - Cozumel ( 9am to 6pm ) - 10/16/17.

We were up at 7am to another beautiful day with calm seas. Here are today’s Fun Times…..

The Carnival Magic is docked at Puerta Maya at 8:45am. We decided to skip breakfast this morning, so we left the ship round 9:30. We are back in Cozumel again…..

The Carnival Triumph is docked over at the other pier…….

There was no line at all for taxi’s this morning, so 15 minutes and $17 later, our taxi was pulling up to Nachi Cocom……

To be continued……

We have arrived at Nachi Cocom…….

Here I am checking in. The cost is $55 per person…….

Once you check in you are free to choose your own location. Here is our palapa and loungers…….

Jose will be our server for the day, and he immediately sets me up with my first beer of the day…….

This is part of the beach at Nachi Cocom…..

Our location is very close to the beach bar…..

To be continued……

Patti begins her tour of the property. Here are the nearby rest rooms…..

The massage hut…..

This is the main pool area…….

The changing and locker rooms…..

Another view of the beach…..

To be continued…..

Here are some important rules and information…..

This is the main dining area…..

We meet up with some CC friends in the hot tub…..

To be continued…..

Later, I take a swim in the ocean…..

Here are some more beach views……

You can see Mr. Sancho’s out in the distance…..

Soon we were getting hungry for lunch. You could go to the dining area to eat, or your server will be happy to bring it to you, which is what we chose to do. Here are the Nachi Cocom menus. Ignore the prices since everything is all-inclusive…..

To be continued…..

My CC friend and I enjoying beers in the ocean and the pool…..

The sign says adults only but it was never enforced…..

I believe that this is a Coati. There are quite a few different kinds, so I don’t know which this was…..

We left at 3:30. Your server will call a taxi for you. We had a great time here, but mainly because we were hanging out with friends. Patti and I both agree that we prefer Mr. Sancho’s, so the decision has been made for our April cruise!

To bec ontinued…..

In no time at all we are back at Puerta Maya…..

To be continued……

I make my way back to the ship while Patti shops a little and takes some pictures…..

The Carnival Triumph docked at Puerta Maya. You can see that it has started to rain…..

The Magic docked at Puerta Maya……

The bow of the Carnival Triumph…..

To be continued….

We’re both back on board, and back at the cabin we find today’s towel animal…..

We decided to head up to the Cloud 9 Spa for a while, and then back to the cabin to watch our sail away from our balcony. That’s the Disney Fantasy docked in the distance…..

The Carnival Triumph and Disney Fantasy sail away first, and are headed to Progresso…..

The Carnival Magic sails from Cozumel, and is headed to Belize…..

To be continued……

We hung out in the cabin until it was time for dinner. Here are tonight’s menus…..

I started out with the tortilla soup…….

Patti started out with the vegetable spring rolls…..

We both enjoyed the baked meatballs…..

To be continued……

For her main Patti had the flat iron steak……

I had the veal parm and the stuffed Portobello mushrooms…..

This is tonight’s dessert menu……

Tonight, we both chose to have the apple pie…..

Afterwards, we were so tired from the day that we just decided to just head back to the cabin, relax, and watch tv.

Coming up next: Shopping in Belize and Husband Day Care!!!

Soon we were getting hungry for lunch. You could go to the dining area to eat, or your server will be happy to bring it to you, which is what we chose to do. Here are the Nachi Cocom menus. Ignore the prices since everything is all-inclusive…..

I forgot to mention that just as the food arrived we had a passing rain shower. Though we were dry under our palapa, I didn't think to take pictures. The food was good though. The prices were in Mexican Pesos. :D

We enjoyed our day at Nachi Cocom, but we feel that the facilities, menu, and service was better at Mr. Sancho's. Yes there will be more people at Mr. Sancho's, but it is much larger than Nachi Cocom.:cool:

Not sure if this still applies, but in the past Nachi used to limit admission to 100 adults per day, no children allowed.

We have not been to Nachi, we have done Mr. Sancho's and Paradise Beach, both great facilities but different all the same.

Thank you both for all your time and effort putting this review together! Sailing Magic the first time this coming January so really enjoying it.

There were quite a few children there, and they liked the hot tub, thus my comment about the no children in hot tub sign. There is a small playground for children there. :cool:
