Oasis - Cozumel Port Questions

[luvbigdogs]

Trying to plan a dive trip for the day in Cozumel...

 

1) Does the ship dock at the Punta Langosta Pier downtown or the International Pier south of town?

2) Cozumel is on Central time. Does the ship stay on Eastern time the whole week, or change?

 

Thanks!

Usually at the International Pier.

Oasis/Allure and most Royal Caribbean ships use the International Pier.

Traditionally, ships always stayed on a single time zone (most traditionally, GMT). However, since people are generally stupid when they are on vacation, most cruise lines have since shifted and now adjust the time for whatever port they are in. This way the people (again, generally stupid when on vacation), don't get confused and miss the ship!

Whether the ship stays on departure port time or changes to a local port time is up to the captain. So either could be true on your cruise.

Change always possible but almost certainly:

 

1. International Pier.

2. Ship stays on Eastern Time for western carib itinerary.

Well then I guess that half of the humans I run across are on vacation no matter where I go....that's one strange coincidence.

THe ship usually stays on eastern time. Keep that in mind when going downtown because many shops do not open until later in the morning

Worked well for us as we booked an 8.30am local time ATV excursion, which was 9.30am ship time, so we still had lie in/breakfast etc.

 

Met at the El Cid hotel, minutes from the ship.

Agreed, it was really maddening walking over to the other pier to Pancho's for a breakfast margarita and they were closed!!!!! We went back in the afternoon, though, so all was well.:D
