Some good news and some bad news - you sort out which is which!
On a cruise a year ago, one of the ports we stopped at was Cozumel. There were about a dozen cruise ships there that day. There is only dock space for three or four. You might encounter tendering there also. We did. A cab ride into the shopping area was about $10 for the entire cab load of people. No more than $3 a person. I can't help you on a car rental there but I would not want to have to drive through the shopping district.
I don't think there are self-service laundry facilities on any of the Celebrity ships. We did not have any on the Horizon.
Go to the "Know Before You Go" message board and find the topic about smuggling booze on board. There is some good (also some hilarious) information there. As a gift from a US Air flight attendant, we had a magnum of champagne and several minatures in a carry-on bag. In addition, we had two bottles in the checked luggage. No problem with either approach. I would suggest plastic liquor bottles if your favorite brand is available in them.
Don't let the thought of tendering get to you. It is no big deal. They will either use the lifeboats from the ship or hire a third-party tendering service. The tenders hold 40 or more passengers and are not like a small powerboat at all. In both Cozumel and Georgetown, the trip from ship to shore took no more than 20 minutes.
Have A Great Cruise,

[QUOTE="Les and Shirley, post: 698905"] Some good news and some bad news - you sort out which is which! On a cruise a year ago, one of the ports we stopped at was Cozumel. There were about a dozen cruise ships there that day. There is only dock space for three or four. You might encounter tendering there also. We did. A cab ride into the shopping area was about $10 for the entire cab load of people. No more than $3 a person. I can't help you on a car rental there but I would not want to have to drive through the shopping district. I don't think there are self-service laundry facilities on any of the Celebrity ships. We did not have any on the Horizon. Go to the "Know Before You Go" message board and find the topic about smuggling booze on board. There is some good (also some hilarious) information there. As a gift from a US Air flight attendant, we had a magnum of champagne and several minatures in a carry-on bag. In addition, we had two bottles in the checked luggage.
