Are all of your tickets for Barcos Caribe?
And where do you get such a great deal on ferry tickets? Those sound like "local" prices.
Only Barcos Caribe is suspended - not Ultramar or Mexico waterjetsA translation from the site below says that the company's ferries have been taken out of service pending inspections that could take months - and that all ferry service with Cozumel has been temporarily suspended at that port; but I don't know if this site is reliable - it seem rather militant.

“…all vessels belonging to that company will be taken out of service to make technical reviews that "could take several months."… At this moment the boat crossings from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel and vice versa are suspended…”

Other than infrequent rate increases, I havet experienced that. But I show my INE (MX voter registration/official MX ID) and get local rates anywayI'll admit it, that plan blew up in my face!
For the curious minds: I buy a dozen tickets at a time when they are 90 pesos roundtrip. They expire in 6 months and can be shared.
I dislike getting to the ferry and discovering price doubled over night and needing tickets. I'm occasional diving for cave mapping on the mainland so am back and forth.
Wonder which is the "safest" vessel now. I hadn't considered explosions in my dive risk management plan.

WOW - that's crazy - makes sense for you to buy them when price is low -Local rate in playa 4 days ago is 140 barco, ultramar local rate was over 200 (220?) still. I didn't check waterjet. They fluctuate.
I've watched 7 price changes in the last 5 months. My friend lives in Playa and works in Cozumel. It's significant in his daily commute.
