I just read on Cruise Critic website that someone just came back from the Valor Western Caribbean cruise and they heard they were switching back to Cozumel port from Costa Maya. Can anyone clarify if this is really the case? I called Carnival and they said that it is still Costa Maya. But why then, would the crew on the Valor say something different?

The correct answer is Maybe.

In my search I see that some of the Western Caribbean itineraries on the Valor include Cozumel and others are still calling at Costa Maya instead. You'd have to look up your particular sailing date to find out which one.

Thanks Michael...I looked a little further into it on Carnivals website and see 4 dates that have changed to Cozumel. Thank God mine isn't one of them!!

That's an interesting take. A lot of my clients were disappointed when their itineraries changed to Costa Maya from Cozumel. I like them both but really enjoyed Costa Maya. The water there is the most crystal clear I have seen.

=funsign on your cruise.

Well, I'm not saying Cozumel would be bad, I'm sure it's beautiful, but I've become very excited about visiting Costa Maya. Also, the itineraries that have changed back to Cozumel, changed the dates of the other stops. So that means rescheduling our wedding in Grand Cayman and the excursions I have scheduled at the other two stops. ;)

Personally Im not thrilled with any Mexican stop ive seen so far.

Cayman Islands have better shopping and Belize has better snorkling and Roatan has better beaches. Cozumel seems like such a retread.

Im hoping someday when Cuba opens up theyll bypass Mexico on the western exotic cruises in favor of Pinar Del Rio or Caya Laviso in Cuba

Ahem! "Cayman Islands has better shopping"? Have you been there? Yeah, it's a beautiful island, but prices there are among the highest of ANY place in the Caribbean. Considering that, and the fact that you have to tender there, I'll take Coz or Costa Maya over GC anytime!
