Hi Bobber, When in Cozumel we always check when the place is full of ships & just don,t go downtown if we can help it. Reading some of the posts about AC it sound like the ships are crowding in there also or is it Belize City where they go. We still like Cozuemel a lot & have made some great friends of some locals. The local Mayans on Cozumel are teriffic people & are very proud of there Island. My wife, Rose & I love the laid back type of vacations, as both our jobs can be quite stressful at times, but we also like to party hearty now & then when meeting some great people when traveling. Is there anything better then being next to the ocean in the Carib. with nice people,cool drinks,island food,island music & that nice hot sun bearing down? I think not. We are constantly asking ourselves, what the hell are we still living in the northeast for. Ten degrees this morning!!! Have a Great trip.
