What to do in Cozumel/Playa del Carmen/on Carnival Holiday?

Hey Ian,

I have been waiting for you to post.

I wanted to ask you how the work on the piers was going?

Thanks,
Dwayne

There is a very nice miniature golf course in Cozumel if you are into that sort of thing. I forgot the web site address but do a Google search and it will show up.

Hi IslandCruz

Well, Punta Langosta should be ready to dock one ship by 27 Sept, the International Pier has already been docking one ship for a while.

They both hope to be able to dock 2 ships again by October - this is all according to local press reports, so nothing is certain but this is the latest I've heard.

Punta Langosta was due to open in Summer 07, although I've heard rumuors it might be later now.

Actually looking at the piers, you can see work is being done. They are pre-fabricating 'slabs', transporting them here and then dropping them in place.

In the meantime, ships continue to tender smoothly and they are also talking about putting two extra mooring lines by Punta Langosta in the high season to make it quicker/easier for passengers to disembark.

Hope that helps - keep an eye on www.thisiscozumel.com for updates..!

No problem.

I've just noticed I made a mistake in my last post though - it should say "PUERTA MAYA was due to open in Summer 07, although I've heard rumuors it might be later now." (not Punta Langosta).

I'll let you know if I hear anything else...

Best wishes from Cozumel

Ian
