Bag-Drag updates?

I use a taxi often from the airport in Cancun and have never had an issue with getting dropped by the ADO bus station. Even in a van we get dropped off there. The Xcaret ferry runs on the 1/2 hour. It’s our preferred ferry. It’s clean and fast. About 35 minutes. No cocktails served.

That's good to know - I guess my previous taxi drivers were less flexible about where they could drop us off.

No cocktails served.

That’s ok. I can get my first adult beverage at the bar stand at the ferry docks. I don’t recommend the watered down frozen drinks, but their sign gave me a laugh.

By the time I get to the ferry all I want to do is get home! No cocktails Required!

I just did the bag drag on 11/9. The Cancun airport was a nightmare. It took me 90 minutes to get out of there between clearing customs and getting my luggage (and my luggage came fairly quickly and our flight arrived 30 minutes early!) Customs was a total disaster. The bus and ferry were OK. My flight landed at 2:30, and I was at my hotel by 6.

That's odd. What terminal? Were they inspecting every bag, every passenger? Every time I've flown in there last few years we have literally walked past customs. There would be a person in the hall ask about alcohol and tobacco and direct many 1 in 20 to inspection tables. We saw that while waiting for bags one time and headed to them right after they pointed someone over on the theory that the next dozen would be directed to keep walking and so far it's worked.

Like any other international airport the CUN airport is designed to handle X number of non resident passengers arriving at once, and if conditions cause 2X passengers to arrive at the same time, it will cause the system to slow down until the clog is cleared. It can happen anywhere.
