THE WORSE THING YOU CAN DO IS TO JUMP SHIP IN MEXICO. You are asking for trouble from the Mexican Customs because you MUST HAVE A Tourist VISA.

If you don't have one they will charge you a $100. each to leave Mexico. They will also interrigate you on why you jumped ship and why you chose Cozumel.

They will just harrass you until you give them all of your money in your pocket. That happened to a friend of mine. He never went back to Mexico.


I am Mexican-American and I know how the Mexican Customs works. I also know for a fact that the Cozumel police will always take the side of the thieves in Cozumel.

I have been to Cozumel and have seen the abuse. The people there don't really like us tourists. They talk bad about us tourists and are jealous that we have money.


Plus, Mexico has gone downhill economically recently and really need money. Things will be cheaper for us Americans to buy in Mexico.


BE HONEST WITH CARNIVAL so they can give you the best advise for you.  I have seen Canadian cruisers get off the ships in the Victoria B.C. port. They walked off with their luggage in hand. I am sure they were given permission to disembark the ship legally. Our next and final port was Vancouver.
