The proposed cruise ship pier at Puerto de Abrigo

[El Graduado]

Here are the plans for the new cruise ship pier at Puerto de Abrigo:

Is that all? Hardly looks like it will be very obtrusive.

Disgusting. Locals will let it happen though.........

It never is on paper. But when you add all the thousands of tourists streaming off those extra three ships, think about how much deeper the tourist traffic can get on the Meglar. There is no doubt that the island will receive additional revenues. There is no doubt that many will receive economic benefit. The issue is just how crowded can a finite amount of development sustain without being too crowded. With all of the additional t-shirt, souvenir, and chain restaurants to be opened near The new ships, I believe the saturation point will have been met.

As an aside, Aldora Villas will have a beautiful view of the new cruise ships on their beach.

Extra 3 ships??? I see room for 4 lol.........so much for any reef or sea life out there.........bow thruster death imminent.

Kinda funny (and pathetic) how excited and optimistic all us scuba divers have been in recent years in our collective fight against lionfish, only to get blindsided by a mega-eco-disaster like this......talk about a lost cause!

But of course they are two different issues with different effects of different scopes.

Which makes total sense because it is there island.

If built it will encroach on the view and access to:

The Presidential Palace
The Current Governor's house
a new house of the Joaquine family (As in Don Nassim)
a house of the Becerra family( Casa Mexicana, Suites Bahia. Pepe's Grill. Palmera's etc)


as plus: Villa Aldora will become the best Gentlemen's Club in Cozumel

I can see a lot of pressure against this from within
