    Mexico Waterjets - View from the top deck looking towards Cozumel

    We took the Mexico Waterjets ferry from Playa to Cozumel at the last min (they held the 1:00 pm…read moreferry for us). The cost was $8.50 USD ida y vuelta (roundtrip). It takes about 45 min to make the crossing. Inside the ferry is nice enough, but it was kinda warm. A couple of my rellies got mareada (seasick) bc of the heat and the movement of the boat. However, the employees were very considerate and offered bags and sympathy. On the return, we sat on top outside and had better results. One of my rellies waited til we were on the dock to get sick. The 4 ferry companies run like clockwork every hour on the hour to/from Playa to Cozumel. Take a look at which one has the best price, I believe the service is comparable. In this case our choice was Mexico Waterjets.

    One of two main ferries, they are known as WinJet around town (not Mexico Waterjets) which is why…read moreI'm only the fifth review). Basically they are orange and the other guys are yellow. Because they offer basically the same service, leaving from the same place, at the same time, they seem interchangable. They might be, but I rode with WinJet twice and I liked the friendly workers who seemed happy to be working there, the organization, and the looping video (upbeat music, information, ads, Senor Frijole aka Mr. Bean, etc). We were lucky and got on right away. One time we bought tickets just eight minutes before departure without issue. Another time, we were ten minutes late and managed to board. $9 one way and $15 round trip (recommended) as of 2/19. Buy your tickets directly from orange Winjet booths and make sure you aren't in some timeshare. I thought the 35 minute ferry ride itself would be part of the fun, but I guess I'm getting old... The February waters were choppy and two days later I still feel like I'm bobbing.

    My friend told me this was the best excursion to take in Cozumel. SO I booked it. On line tickets…read moreare cheaper to do in advance. The place is just a walk down the street from our port. So very easy. They spoke English and we had no problems checking in. They boated you out to where the submarine was underwater. It was a neat sight to see the submarine emerge from under the water right in front of you. The sub was very clean and we only saw some small fish. Not much more so a little disappointed in that but it was a neat experience and I still enjoyed it. Felt safe the entire time.

    This was my favorite ship excursion. We'd stopped in Cozumel many times and were looking for…read moresomething different to do. This excursion was fun and educational and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride out was lively with instructions being given on what to do when we get to the sub. It's tight quarters onboard, but everyone gets a seat with a great view. The guide on the sound system made sure we knew what we were looking at, including a sunken ship with divers exploring it. All kinds of sea life swam past the windows as we made our way down 115 feet to the ocean floor. We also saw numerous coral reefs as we glided along. The steep steps to board and exit are fairly easy to navigate and the staff offers lots of help. It's kind of pricey but worth every penny!

    I went to Cozumel in 2004 and it has evolved tremendously over the past twenty years. There is…read moreplenty to do when you get off at the cruise terminal and lots of picture taking. If you don't have an excursion, it'll be fine since the area has plenty to do and isn't like Costa Maya. We went to Chankanaab to spend the day there and saw the manatees as well as the dolphins. We were able to have an open bar and non-alcoholic beverages and lunch. I highly recommend this part of Cozumel to explore since it's a great experience. After we arrived back at the terminal, we did some shopping and got shirts and souvenirs to bring back home. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to check out if you want to get your fix. It was a fun hump day!

    The cruise terminal in Cozumel has five main piers, three of which are for cruise ships and two of…read morewhich are for ferries. My husband and I have visited this cruise terminal a couple of times, most recently in March 2026. Our cruise ships seemed to dock just fine, and I cannot recall experiencing any problems with disembarking or embarking our cruise ships. We did take ferries between Cozumel and Playa del Carmen, but Cozumel itself has beaches, wildlife, and more. I will write about the city of San Miguel de Cozumel in a separate review.

    It was probably the most organized port of our 7-day Western Caribbean trip. Yes, the shopping…read morevillage is touristy. There were many places set up for photo opportunities. There's a landscaped water feature area that's a haven for turtles and iguanas. I feel like the layout of the shops & restaurants are more spread out and spacious. I liked the shops here better. There's a Ron Jon Surf Shop and a Rogers Boots Shop (reminded my hubby of "No Country for Old Men"). I can't comment on the restaurants because we didn't try any of them. There is a Fat Tuesday, Three Amigos, and Panchos Backyard. I so wanted to stop for dessert and coffee at Banana & Company, but there's just never enough time. Hopefully there will be a next time. Our shore excursion was very well-organized here. We met our guide in front of Ron Jon's. She walked us to the taxi pickup area where we were whisked away to Barriecito. It was such a memorable experience. The taxi fare was part of the excursion, but it's actually a good price just to take a ride around the whole area. Honestly though, you really don't need an excursion here. There's a lot to see even if you decide to walk to Punta Langosta or venture out into San Miguel de Cozumel on your own. It was a fun port of call!

    Out of the 3 ports our cruise visited this one for Cozumel, Mexico saved the BEST for last…read more There are SO many shops that passengers who didn't book a shore excursion would have fun shopping and eating here. We booked a tour to a Mayan Village so just got a Mexican mango flavored popsicle super refreshing and hit the spot cuz it was HOT. I saw a cute Stitch Ohana hand painted wooden plaque on our way to the tour vehicle so on the way back to the ship found the booth and had it personalized. We had to be back on the ship if not I would have surely filled up my suitcase with more items here like footwear and handbags. The tour we took also stopped at a Tequila Factory and I saw leather goods across the street and by the ancient church but it didn't seem like we could stop to shop. Glad we got to buy a few hand made jewelry and pottery whistle at the Mayan Village. If we ever go to Cozumel again I'll choose to just leisurely enjoy Puerta Maya then return to the ship when I'd had enough.
