    Cruise ship stops in Nassau and Freeport

    If your 7am is in Freeport and the 11 am is in Nassau, you can dive both ports. We just did this off the Carnival Pride. Booked Stuart Coves in Nassau independently for the afternoon dives, and booked with UNEXCO in Freeport (thru the ship) for morning dives. Both days had less than 8 divers...

    any tips on casa del mar

    Definitely get upgraded to a superior room. Having the balcony simply to dry gear is worth it. Not to mention the waterfront view. Ask for 2nd or 3rd floor. They now have internet priced per day that you can get in your room. It was like $5/day. Or its free if you go sit in the lobby. When...

    ATM Warning

    One of our travel companions had this same problem in May. Funny how thieves can make larger withdrawals per transaction than the account holders are allowed to. Thankfully, he got all his money returned by his bank. Sucks to be a victim.

    Local Dive Shop In Freeport and Nassau

    UNEXSO is the operation that Carnival uses in Freeport. It is unlikely that you would be able to book directly with them once they find you are arriving on a carnival ship. It stinks to have to pay that $149 dollars, and I am not sure what your hours are in port, but we are there only from...

    Help with dive spots in western Caribbean - Carnival

    I would choose Grand Cayman and Roatan for the diving. So many other things to do in Cozumel for the short time you are there. For me 2 dives in Coz under a tight time limit is a really bad tease. LOL I need a whole week there to be happy.

    Resorts we should avoid?

    Thanks for bringing this up. Even if my actions in no way affect how business is run - which of course it doesn't! - I still like to be an educated consumer. If I am dead set on diving with a certain op, I will adjust my accommodations accordingly, and if I really want to stay at a certain...

    Taxi Fare ?

    Puerta Maya has a chart of taxi fares by destination on a placard out by the taxi stands for the cruise passengers. I kept looking to see if anyone had taken a picture of the most recent, but all were older. Casa del Mar also has a placard outside of the lobby so you can see the current fares...

    Taxi Fare ?

    El Cid is across from Park Royal right? It was 80 pesos to/from the plaza when we stayed at Casa del mar two weeks ago.

    Souvenir ideas?

    We used to buy it in duty free as well, so we didn't have to count it in our bag weights prior to check in at the airport. Last May we were able to get it. Now the duty free shop at the airport claims they no longer carry it. Boy was I disappointed. :( Mosaicoz also makes Mayan coffee with...

    Norte coming to Cozumel

    Oh no! I think I am bad luck :( 2 yrs ago November we got there the port was closed for water activities due to a norte. Last May wasn't a norte, but poured almost every day. We are flying in tomorrow. should be an exciting flight. Packing a jacket.

    Caracolillo? Where is this dive site?

    It's south - that much I know. 1st dive I have down as Palancar wall (? need to log things better), and we had people from the AIs down south that day, so it can't be very far from them. The only day we could go to Paraiso was when we didn't have divers from the southern AIs. I know we didn't...
