Hi fellow Cruisers,

With the hurricanes attacking these poor ports I see most cruise lines are now going to Costa Maya instead of Cozumel. All of you who have been to both ports how do you compare them ? Also do u know if their is any transportation from the ships gangplank to the tourist areas. I have trouble walking and my last cruise I got off the ship in Nassau and walked the pier to downtown and it almost killed me. I would rather stay aboard ship then go through that again. Any information on these subjects will be greatly appreciated.

FYI: My walking ability not in the hot sun is about 5 minutes and then I need to stop and rest for a minute. this is no good for sightseeing.....

Frist of all, I think one of the longest walks is from the ship to town in Nassau. i too, can't walk as far as I used to, maybe farther than you; As for coxumel versus Costa maya, actually Costa Maya is totally ot of commission and will be for about 6 months. Many cruise haven't yet decided what to do about offering another port or just an extra day at sea.

You got that backwards, it's Costa Maya that's closed until next fall.

You will find bicycles-rickshaws available at Cozumel to get you from the ship to the foot of the pier, which is basically in downtown San Miguel (Cozumel).

There, you can hire a taxi to get you around the island.
