The ship had not left the pier when we got there. Appartently the Mexican pier officials called the
ship and somebody said the captain said it was too late and they would not use a tender because
the bay was too choppy. Well we learned much later from the Captain that he did not know that
we had missed the ship until we were out at sea. Why the misinformation from the Mexican
authorities.

In our previous trip and even this trip I saw tenders used to bring in latecommers. It is not difficult
to do when you visit a place like Cozumel with many sites to see and only stay there til 2;30M.
I talked to many people in the Rottendam and many people don't even leave the ship because
of the time contraints.

Lesson learned? Perhaps we should not use cruise lineres for visiting scenic spots.

Ray

PS. Still I would like to meet others who have been in the same predicament.
