Any ideas for excursion suggestions in Cozumel? We will have all of our family with us (my wife & I and our 2 kids, 10&14). This is the only port where we are having difficulty coming up with one we all agree on. Don't know if we want to just do the shopping thing or planned event. This is our first cruise and (obviously) first time to Cozumel, just looking to maximize the event. We are going on the Carnival Paradise.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Chakanaab Beach can be done on your own. The ship docks at the pier, you get off right at the taxi stand. You can catch a cab to Chakanaab. Hang out on the beach, swim, snorkel, eat, and drink. A very nice day. Then you can catch a cab into town for shopping, more eating and drinking. There's a really neat mini-golf place that kids love in Cozumel, where they give you a walkie-talkie so you can call back in for drinks to be delivered to your hole! This is a great port for families ... just don't let your kids wonder around without you. Drugs and alcohol are available to all ages. It's safe, but keep your kids close.

Thank you for the info, it's appreciated. I think we are leaning towards your idea since we wanted to do the shopping thing when we were there anyway.

Thanks again!

I'd agree with jbest. We were on the Paradise in May with my son abe 8. We took a cab to Chankannab Park, then got back to the ship for an early supper (burgers on the Lido deck), then took a cab to Cozumel Mini Golf (it really is as great as it sounds and my kid loves to tell others the story about how he went golfing in Mexico!). then do some shopping on the way back to the ship. The Paradise stays in Cozumel late, so this will not be a problem.

Have a great time!!

When you arrive at the beach, can you rent snorkel equipment? Do they have prescription masks? How is the cost? Thanks for the idea....it sounds wonderful... there are pictures of this beach area in the posting near this one which makes refereence to menus on several ships.
